ABSTRACT:
A roller clutch cage includes two mirror image sections that press fit together to create a series of roller pockets with full profile side rails that fit closely between the races, filling up essentially the entire radial space between the races. The side rails and cross bars that form the pockets are radially solid and uninterrupted, providing full load support between the races. Each cage section is designed to be by pass molded, with slots in the cross bars that also give the cage both contractive and expansive flexibility. The cage flexibility allows it to be installed easily, and also allows it to conform better to and between the races during clutch operation. While the radially uninterrupted and complete side rails retain lubricant around the rollers more completely, the slots allow it to drain in a controlled manner.
