ABSTRACT:
A combination of a sprag clutch and a deep-groove ball bearing has a cage ring made of two identical radial halves. Each cage ring half has circumferentially spaced first recesses each accommodating and pivotally supporting a spring-biased sprag; circumferentially spaced alternating pockets for captively holding a bearing ball; and second recesses each nestingly receiving a bearing ball. The number of pockets and the number of second recesses in each cage ring half each equals one half the number of bearing balls in the ball bearing. The two cage ring halves are staggered with respect to one another to the extent of one bearing ball pitch, so that with any pocket on either cage ring half there is axially aligned a second recess in the other cage ring half.
