ABSTRACT:
An overrunning roller clutch retains its rollers through the use of a pair of cage side rails that shift between a shipping position spaced separated by less than a roller length, to an operating position separated by about a roller length. A latch maintains the side rails stable in either position. In the shipping position, the roller ends are seated in aligned indents, and so are securely retained independent of the springs. The rollers are also retained in a shipping position farther back than normal, so they need not rub on the cam ramps as the clutch is installed to cam race. The pathway race hits stop members on one side rail as it is installed with a simple axial push, thereby shifting the cage side rails apart and freeing the rollers for operation.
