The invention discloses a bearing type overrunning clutch, which is provided with retaining brackets which are arranged corresponding to rollers one to one. A wedge slot for engagement consists of arc segments concentric to an inner ring in transition, and a V-shaped opening of an elastic supporting claw of each retaining bracket is opposite to an engaged part of a wedged engagement space to support each roller along a circumferential direction. By the overrunning clutch, a bearing can be replaced, the cost is saved, the volume of a transmission system is reduced, a limiting seat is prevented from being directly machined on the inner ring or an outer ring, the machining process is simplified, the working efficiency is improved, and the machining cost is reduced; the positions of the rollers can be flexibly adjusted in the circumferential direction according to the need, and the machining and assembling precision is guaranteed; more rollers can be distributed in the circumferential direction, the bearing capacity is improved, and the dimension of the overrunning clutch can be reduced under the condition of higher bearing capacity; meanwhile, due to the elastic supporting claw, line contact limiting is formed, and a condition that the rollers deviate an axis due to imbalanced limiting is avoided; therefore, a mechanical failure caused by instable operation of the overrunning clutch is avoided.
