The TSUBAKI BB series freewheel is a power transmission component that allows rotation in one direction and locks movement in the opposite direction. It is used to prevent backdriving, control intermittent indexing and protect equipment. MR Accesorios Industriales sells this line, backed in the industrial sector.

The BB series designation is completed with a number that indicates the model size: BB15, BB17, BB20, BB25, BB30, BB35 and BB40. That number is not a diameter or a direct measurement, but an internal code that orders the series from lowest to highest capacity. To select the correct model, that code must be matched with the application conditions: torque, speed and mounting type. If you have doubts, send us the full code and we will verify it.

TSUBAKI BB series freewheels are used in equipment that requires holding or controlled indexing: conveyor belts, bucket elevators, gearboxes, machine tools and positioning systems. In Argentine industry they appear in food, cement, steel and material handling plants, where load backdriving can damage equipment or create risks. They are also used as a safety component in drives that must rotate in one direction only.

To choose a freewheel, review the torque it must transmit, the rotation speed and the required locking direction. Mounting requires shafts and housings with good concentricity and alignment, because a mounting error shortens the mechanism's service life. Lubrication must be the one indicated for the seal type and environmental conditions: dust, humidity or temperature influence the selection. In critical applications, it is advisable to verify clearance and the fastening type before requesting a quote.

Freewheels are available in different brands and equivalent series, but the codes are not always directly interchangeable. Each manufacturer defines its own mounting dimensions, torque capacities and speed limits. Therefore, before replacing one freewheel with another, compare the installation dimensions and service conditions. At MR Accesorios Industriales we help you find the right equivalent within the TSUBAKI line or other suitable options.
