The key elements in all ratchet designs are the toothed wheel
and pawl. Together they control intermittent motion in one direction
of rotation. Ratchets have one or more pawls that are usually
spring-loaded to ensure positive contact with the wheel teeth.
A ratchet's rotation direction can be reversed with a cam-type
shifter positioned between the pawls. When using dual shifters
and pawls, both pawls can be engaged simultaneously to lock the
wheel in place, or can be disengaged to allow free-nunning in
either direction.
All of the above components are enclosed in Lowell ratchet arms,
ratchet clutches, and socket wrenches.
Lowell's unique Bolt-Thru feature allows bolts to pass entirely through the socket ratchet so that nuts can be secured on any threaded length.
At Lowell, we've got a wide selection of ratchets ready for off-the-shelf delivery. In addition, we've got plenty of experience with custom designs. Whatever you need, from very large ratchet arms to the smallest of socket wrenches, Lowell ratchet technology can satisfy your requirements.
