the chain around the sprockets.

2. First mount the clutch loosely on

the high-speed shaft.

3. Accurately align both sprockets

by checking with a straight

edge on the teeth of both

sprockets. Check if the

clearance (S) between the two

sprockets is correct, then wrap

4. Specify right hand (RH) or left

hand (LH) inner race drive when

ordering. See the drawing above.

5. The same lubrication as for

TSUBAKI Roller Chain is

necessary for the coupling

chain.

Installation and Usage

1. Pre-Installation:

a. Check that the unit has not been damaged

during shipment.

b. Verify the specified rotational direction of every

shaft.

c. Do not apply impact shocks to the shaft when

installing couplings.

2. Installation:

In order to prevent vibrations which can result from

misalignment, make sure that the foundation where

the Cam Clutch Box will be mounted is completely

flat and rigid. Alignment tolerances of coupled

shafts should be within 0.03 mm T.I.R. (Total

Indication Reading). Recheck this specification after

the installation is complete.

3. Lubrication:

Fill the Cam Clutch Box with the recommended

lubricant up to the mark shown by the oil level

gauge.

4. Maintenance:

Change the oil after the initial test run before putting

the Cam Clutch Box into service, and change the oil

every six months thereafter. Shut down the system

before changing the oil. Procedure is 1) Drain the

oil, 2) use flushing oil to clean the Cam Clutch Box,

and 3) fill with fresh oil.

5. Note for OB-SF Series.

a. If you need to cool the OB-SF Series, run cold

water (less then 35°C) through the cooling fin

tubes at a rate of 10 liters per minute.

b. To make inspection easier, the OB-SF series is

equipped with a drag brake which prevents the

system from turning the shaft by drag torque .

Refer to operating manual for brake operating

procedure.

6. Please refer to the installation manual for the

specific unit for more detailed information.
