Abstract
An overrunning clutch comprising clamping rings arranged concentrially in each other with mutually facing clamping paths between which clamping elements are arranged and a switching member arranged equiaxially with one of the clamping rings which is designed to have a variable diameter, acting on this clamping ring by utilizing a wedge-surface effect so that a rotation of the switching member relative to the clamping ring with variable diameter causes a change in the distance between the clamping paths, characterized in that the clamping ring with variable diameter is divided by at least one axial slit and pre-tensioned by at least one spring to oppose the change in distance between the clamping paths which can be effected by the switching member.
