RINGSPANN FCN R series freewheels are power transmission components that allow rotation in one direction and lock in the opposite direction. They are used to prevent reverse rotation, control intermittent feeds or engage and disengage based on speed. MR Accesorios Industriales sells them in Buenos Aires, Argentina, with technical advice to choose the right model for the application.
The FCN R series designation is read by the number indicating the size: FCN 8 R, FCN 10 R, FCN 12 R, FCN 15 R, FCN 20 R, FCN 25 R, FCN 30 R and FCN 35 R. That number is not a diameter or a direct measurement, but a size code that orders the series from smallest to largest capacity. The final letter R identifies the variant of the family. To select the correct model, it is best to start from the actual application conditions: torque, speed and type of mounting.
These freewheels are used in equipment requiring retention or controlled feed: conveyor belts, bucket elevators, gearboxes, machine tools, pumps, fans and positioning systems. In Argentine industry they appear in food, cement, steel, mining and aggregate processing plants, among others. They are also used in test benches and safety mechanisms that must prevent reverse rotation.
To choose well, consider the torque the freewheel must transmit, the rotation speed and the required locking direction. Mounting requires shafts and housings with good concentricity and alignment, because misalignment accelerates wear of the locking elements. Lubrication must be the one indicated for the operating regime and environment: a clean and continuous application is not the same as one with dust, humidity or variable temperatures. If the equipment is subjected to vibrations, axial fixation should be verified.
RINGSPANN freewheels can be interchanged with equivalent products from other brands when the mounting dimensions, permissible torque and rotation direction match. That equivalence is not defined only by the part number: the technical data sheet of each alternative must be compared. Therefore, if you are replacing a component, send us the complete part number and the operating conditions. At MR Accesorios Industriales we help you validate interchangeability before quoting.

Frequently Asked Questions
- How do I know which FCN R freewheel model I need?
- You need the torque to be transmitted, the rotation speed and the locking direction. With that data and the available mounting space, the size is defined. If you have the old part number, send it via WhatsApp and we will verify it.

- Yes. MR Accesorios Industriales sells them in Buenos Aires, Argentina, as an exclusive representative of RINGSPANN. Write to us via WhatsApp with the model you are looking for and we will quote you shortly.
