The invention discloses a heavy-duty overrunning clutch, which comprises an outer ring, an inner ring, a plurality of rollers and a retaining frame. The retaining frame comprises a support ring I, a support ring II and a plurality of support columns corresponding to the rollers. Spring plates are fixedly arranged on the support columns along the axial direction and are used for applying pre-tightening force on the rollers along the engagement direction of an engagement slot. The direct processing of a limit seat on the outer ring can be avoided, the working efficiency can be increased, the processing cost can be reduced, the service life can be prolonged, and the transmission effect can be guaranteed. Moreover, relevant components can be replaced easily after being damaged, the outer ringneeds not to be rejected as a whole, and the cost of maintenance and use can be reduced. The axial length of the overrunning clutch and the rollers can be increased theoretically indefinitely, the engagement length can be increased, and thus the bearing capacity of the overrunning clutch can be improved. Meanwhile, the pre-tightening force can be applied at multiple points of the rollers according to needs, and the limiting balance for the rollers can be guaranteed while the axial length is ensured, so that the rollers cannot deviate from the axial line of the inner ring. Therefore, the stable operation of the overrunning clutch can be ensured, and mechanical failure can be avoided.
