16 mm Hex Ratchet Clutch by Lowell Corporation

Efficient and lightweight Lowell Corporation Mechanical Ratchet Clutches, Model 701, offer high performance at a low cost. They're designed with standard components, applying forces optimally between the solid steel gear and pawl for compression rather than shear. The low-carbon steel gears feature a rugged tooth design for a large contact area with the pawl. They provide fingertip control, allowing motion in one way clockwise and one way counter-clockwise. The control lever can be connected to hydraulic, pneumatic, or electric actuators for remote shifting. The simple design ensures durability and reduces purchase and operating costs. These clutches offer a high drive torque-to-weight ratio, maximum driving efficiency, and minimal overrunning torque. They have versatile mounting options and standard gear openings available in hex, square, and bore and keyway. They can be used individually or in combination, are open-sided for easy maintenance, and alignment is not critical. They are 100% Made in the USA.
