Abstract
A grip roller overrunning clutch has grip rollers with associated pressure springs that load the rollers in the gripping direction, a first clutch part provided with grip ramps for the grip rollers, a second clutch part provided with a cylindrical running surface for the grip rollers and chamber-forming components for holding the grip rollers and associated pressure springs. The pressure springs are in the form of band springs folded in the longitudinal direction such that the folds in the assembled state extend in the radial direction. These springs are kept at a distance from the lateral boundary walls of the chamber-forming component by guiding devices.
