Free-Action Retainer Design

The Formsprag “Free-action” sprag retainer design spaces and positions each sprag uniformly, yet allows independent action of each sprag during overrunning and while under load.

Sprags are not caged.  The “Free-action” principle allows each sprag to be energised individually.
