ABSTRACT:
A sprag and roller one-way clutch assembly (10) including an outer cage (12), an inner cage (14) and a ribbon spring (16) for use with a clutch having outer and inner races (70, 72). The outer and inner cages (12, 14) each defines a plurality of corresponding sprag and roller openings (20, 30, 22, 32). The ribbon spring (16) defines a plurality of corresponding sprag and roller windows (40, 42). A plurality of spaced sprags (50) extends between and through the corresponding sprag openings (20, 30) defined by the outer and inner cages (12, 14) and through the corresponding sprag windows (40, 42) defined by the ribbon spring (16). A plurality of spaced rollers (60) extends between the corresponding roller openings (22, 32) defined by the outer and inner cages (12, 14) and through the corresponding roller windows (42) defined by the ribbon spring (16). Each of the rollers (60) has a substantially cylindrical configuration. The rollers (60) act as bearings to support the outer and inner races (70, 72) of the clutch during rotation.
