17 mm Hex Ratchet Clutch by Lowell Corporation

Efficient and lightweight Lowell Corporation Ratchet Clutches, Model 701, offer high performance. They're built with standard components, applying forces optimally between the solid steel gear and pawl for compression, not shear. The low-carbon steel gears feature a robust tooth design for ample pawl contact. Enjoy precise motion control: clockwise and counter-clockwise. The control lever connects to hydraulic, pneumatic, or electric actuators for remote shifting. The simple design ensures durability and reduces costs. It boasts a high torque-to-weight ratio, maximum efficiency, and minimal overrunning torque. Versatile mounting options and standard gear openings in hex, square, and bore/keyway (per ANSI/ASME B17.1) allow individual or combined use. The open-sided design ensures easy, minimal maintenance, with alignment not being critical. 100% Made in the USA.
