ABSTRACT:
A one-way clutch comprises relatively rotatable outer and inner races, the outer race having a circular inner circumferential track surface and the inner race having a circular outer circumferential track surface concentric with the inner circumferential track surface, torque transmitting members arranged to transmit torque between the inner and outer circumferential track surfaces, and a cage of substantially oval shape retaining the torque transmitting members. The cage has at an axial end thereof a radially extending annular flange with portions in resilient engagement with one of the inner and outer circumferential track surfaces and having a cut-off portion or portions from a circumference facing that track surface. The use of one or more cut-off portions provides an enhanced spring characteristic of the cage and allows for greater latitude in the dimensional precision of the cage.
