This utility model relates to a roller-type bidirectional overrunning
clutch, comprising an inner wheel and an outer wheel. The outer wheel has a
flange with mounting holes for fixing to external components. Multiple rollers are evenly distributed along the circumference between the inner and outer wheels. The outer edge of the inner wheel has a wedge-shaped inclined surface that mates with the rollers. Self-locking is achieved by varying the gap between the inner and outer wheels. Each roller has a spring on one side and a shift fork on the other. A left-side bearing is also provided between the inner and outer wheels. A right-side bearing is provided between the shift fork and the outer wheel. Sealing caps are provided on the outer sides of the left and right bearings. The
clutch is filled with
grease, and the bearings and their sealing caps
restrict grease outflow. This utility model has a large internal space, accommodating more rollers and springs, and transmitting a larger torque. The inner wheel has a simple shape and is easy to manufacture.
Clutch sealing is achieved through the reasonable arrangement of the bearings on both sides. The internal
grease filling eliminates the need for external oil passages, making the
clutch an independent unit.
