Wrapped Spring Clutch
Torsion Spring - Ratchet

The Maypole principle is analogous to children dancing around a maypole. This principle employs carriers transferred by a rotor and shuttle creating a sinusoidal motion.  
 
CR-225-9 Wire Carrier

Improved Wire Carrier

  • Single clutch base lube fitting enables lubrication without bobbin removal
  • Standard size lube fitting permits use of standard size grease gun tip
  • Infinite spring tang positioning gives a precise and accurate release point
  • Gage sets carrier release point and allows rapid setting of clutch release
  • Sintered iron slipper bushing increases bushing life
  • Larger bobbin locks provide longer service life
