Freewheel Overrunning Clutch RIZ RINZ
Feature
Types RIZ, RINZ are centrifugal lift off sprag type freewheels with the inner race rotating. Suitable for backstop, or overrunning clutch applications. Only the inner race is designed for freewheeling.
These units are part of the Stieber modular system. They are bearing supported using series 60.. bearings, grease lubricated and fitted with ZZ seals. Units are delivered as standard lubricated with grease and ready to install in either a horizontal or vertical position. Types RIZ, RINZ are designed to be used with G series covers. The following pages give further inportant information for use of this type unit.
If the unit is to be installed inside a housing where oil lubrication is available, please specify type RIW, RIWN. The F series covers from type GFR, GFRN are then used without shaft seals.

Typical Applications
High-Speed Overrunning – Inner race overrunning speed up to 9,000 min⁻¹ (size 30). Used in centrifuges, high-speed fans, textile machinery.
Backstopping – Prevents reverse rotation on inclined belt conveyors and bucket elevators during power loss or emergency stop.
Indexing – Provides precise positioning in packaging and printing machinery.

FAQs
Q1: What is the difference between RIZ and RINZ Freewheel Overrunning Clutch?
A: The main difference is overall length (L) and torque capacity. For the same bore size, RINZ has a longer body and higher torque rating. Check the parameter table or contact us with your specific model for confirmation.
Q2: Can Suma RIZ/RINZ directly replace Stieber units?
A: Yes. Our RIZ/RINZ series Freewheel Overrunning Clutches are designed to be fully interchangeable with Stieber modular system clutches. Mounting dimensions, torque, and speed ratings match. Send us your Stieber part number for cross-verification.
Q3: What if I need oil bath lubrication instead of grease?
A: Please specify the RIW/RIWN series. These units have no shaft seals and are designed for oil bath lubrication, used with GFR/GFRN covers.
Q4: Why is there a minimum overrunning speed (n imin)? What happens if I go below it?
A: Centrifugal lift-off clutches rely on speed to fully disengage the sprags. Below n imin, sprags do not lift off completely, causing continuous friction, temperature rise, and rapid wear. Prolonged operation below n imin will damage the clutch.
Q5: What is your price and lead time?
A: Suma is a factory direct overrunning clutch supplier. Standard sizes are typically in stock or 15-20 working days. Custom bores or special coatings require 25-30 days. Please provide your model, quantity, and any special requirements for a competitive quote.
Q6: Can RIZ/RINZ overrunning clutch be mounted vertically?
A: Yes. This series is pre-greased and sealed for both horizontal and vertical mounting. No additional modification is required.
