Abstract
A roller clutch is provided that is capable of transmitting rotational forces between a first and second machine member. The first member is a cylindrical member such as a shaft, having a smooth outer surface. The second member includes a housing through which the shaft extends. A plurality of rollers are located between the housing and the shaft to transmit rotational forces between the shaft and housing while allowing the shaft to move axially relative to the housing.
