One Way Clutch Release

Also called the one way roller clutch bearings, these bearings transmit torque unidirectionally while allowing for free movement in the opposite direction. These bearings find its use in numerous mechanical systems and equipment that require backstop functionality or motion in a single direction. One way clutch release bearings are light in weight and very compact that makes them suitable for a range of applications.

Sprag type

This type of bearings use wedge-shaped elements or sprags that allow for rotation in a single direction. These wedge-shaped elements are placed between the outer and the inner rings of the one way clutch release bearings. The excellent engagement performance of these bearings makes them ideal for use in helicopter and automotive transmissions. The proper alignment of the sprags at the time of installation offers better functionality of the bearings for the specific application.

Cam-type

These bearings have springs and cams that are uniquely formed to make the bearings resistant to vibration and impact. The most common application of cam-type bearings is in ATVs and motorcycles where they are used in the engine starter devices. The correct positioning of the spring and the alignment of the cam ensures proper functioning.

Roller type

The roller type one way clutch bearings make use of cylindrical rollers that are placed between the outer and inner raceways for effective transmission of the torque. These kinds of bearings find their use in applications like automobile transmission. However, it is essential to align the rollers perfectly at the time of installation to avoid the chances of slippage.

Pawl-type​

Pawl-type

The pawl-type bearings can operate seamlessly without the need of a lubricant as they have a ratcheting mechanism. Transmission of high torque is easily possible with these bearings as they ensure a compact form. The proper orientation of the ratcheting mechanism at the time of installation will ensure correct rotation of the bearing.
