Abstract
An improved twist lock installed roller clutch cage uses axially central ribs on the bottom of the journal blocks that move into matching grooves in the bearing surfaces of the cam race when the cage is twisted into place. This retains the cage axially to the cam race, but leaves the end faces of the cam race totally unobstructed.
