Abstract
A unit can transmit driving torque from an input (32; 100) to an output (20; 118) shaft in a given rotational sense. Load torque of the same rotational sense, at the output shaft (20; 118), can cause that shaft to freewheel. The unit has a rotor (34; 104) arranged to be driven by the input shaft (32; 100). Also included is a hub (54; 132) coupled to the output shaft (20; 118) to rotate therewith. The unit also has a thrust device (46; 138). This thrust device (46; 138) is threadably and coaxially mounted on the rotor (34; 104) for running on the rotor (34; 104) and engaging the hub (54; 132).
