The TSUBAKI MZ series freewheel is a transmission mechanism that allows rotation in one direction and locks in the opposite direction. It is used to prevent reverse rotation, control intermittent feeds and protect equipment. MR Accesorios Industriales supplies this line as an official brand, with alternatives for different powers and speeds within the MZ series.
The MZ series designation is completed with a number that identifies the size: MZ15, MZ17, MZ20, MZ30, MZ35, MZ45, MZ60 and MZ70. That number orders the series from smallest to largest and relates to the transmission capacity of each model. To select the correct one, have the complete part number and the working conditions at hand: type of movement, speed and required direction of rotation.
In Argentine industry, MZ freewheels are used in conveyor belts, bucket elevators, mills, mixers and packaging equipment. They also appear in machine tools and feed systems where controlled intermittent movement is needed. They are common in food, cement, chemical and aggregate processing plants, where reverse rotation can damage the product or the equipment.
To choose an MZ freewheel, check the torque it must transmit, the rotation speed and the type of mounting. Lubrication and sealing are key: a dusty or humid environment requires additional protection. Shaft alignment and axial play influence service life. If the equipment has vibrations or impact loads, it is advisable to oversize the freewheel to absorb those peaks.
TSUBAKI MZ series freewheels can be interchanged with equivalent products from other brands, but interchangeability depends on mounting dimensions, torque and speed. A similar part number is not enough: you must compare the technical data sheet of each model. At MR Accesorios Industriales we help you verify that equivalence before quoting.
If you already have the part number of the freewheel you need, send it via WhatsApp to MR Accesorios Industriales along with the equipment data. That way we can guide you on the right MZ model and reply promptly. You can also inquire about special applications or adapting the MZ series to your machine.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What does the number in models MZ15, MZ20 or MZ30 mean?
- The final number identifies the size within the MZ series. The higher the number, the greater the transmission capacity. To choose the correct model, you must consider torque, speed and mounting. Send the complete part number and your equipment data for advice.
- How do I know if an MZ freewheel is compatible with my machine?
- You must compare the mounting dimensions, rated torque and maximum speed. The TSUBAKI MZ series may have equivalents in other brands, but interchangeability is not automatic. Send the measurements or the original part number and we will help you verify.
- Where are TSUBAKI MZ series freewheels used?
- They are used in conveyors, elevators, mills, mixers and intermittent feed systems. Also in equipment where reverse rotation must be prevented or movement in one direction must be controlled. Ask us about your specific application.
