Abstract
The present invention relates to a freewheel comprising an outer ring, an inner ring, and at least one clamping element which is between the outer ring and the inner ring, which is moveable from a clamping position into a release position along a race on the outer ring in a first circumferential direction relative to the outer ring, wherein the race has a clamping section, and a release section following the clamping section in the first circumferential direction on which the clamping element is supportable. A first tangent through at least one support point on the clamping section defines a first inner angle, which is greater than 180°, with a second tangent through at least one support point on the release section. In addition, the present invention relates to a freewheel arrangement for a motor vehicle comprising such a freewheel.
