Abstract
A wedging-type freewheeling clutch providing a combination of a roller or needle bearing with a wedging member freewheeling clutch in generally axial alignment between inner and outer rings. A ball bearing may also be added on the opposite side of the freewheeling clutch from the roller or needle bearing. The needle or roller bearing includes a cage open on one side to receive the rollers and the cage of the freewheeling clutch is located adjacent to the bearing cage to close the open side. The cage for the freewheeling clutch is a double cage having centering means on either the inner or outer surface of the cage to contact the adjacent ring to center the clutch relative to the bearing races.
