Free Wheels

Within the Rolling Elements & Wheels subcategory of Power Transmission, Free Wheels or freewheel clutches are specialized mechanisms that allow a shaft to rotate freely in one direction while locking in the opposite direction to prevent reverse motion. This capability is crucial for applications such as bicycles, where the mechanism allows the wheels to turn while the pedals remain stationary when not being pedalled. Free Wheels are also used in various motorized applications where a similar one-way mechanism is needed to prevent back-driving of components. They ensure smoother operation, safety, and efficiency by allowing parts to disengage from the drive system under certain conditions, protecting the drive system from potential damage and reducing wear on the overall system.
