Locking Pawl
The locking pawl is a crucial component in various mechanical systems, particularly those involving ratchets and gear mechanisms. Its primary function is to prevent the ratchet from rotating freely, ensuring that movement occurs in only one direction.
When engaged, the locking pawl securely bites into teeth on the ratchet, effectively halting its rotation. This unidirectional control is essential for applications such as winches, power tools, and even simple hand-operated mechanisms.
