KLEMMKOERPERFREILAUF

摘要

A locking element freewheel comprises an outer (1) and an inner race ring (2) with at least generally cylindrical concentric locking surfaces (7, 8) between which tiltably suspended locking elements such as rollers (5) are guided in a cage (6). The central portion of the locking surfaces (7, 8) of the outer (1) and/or inner race ring (2) has a smaller or larger diameter than at least one end thereof. If, owing to differing wall thicknesses, the race rings (1, 2) have differing rigidity, (Fig 7) the edge region of highest rigidity of the locking surfaces (7, 8) of the outer (1) and/or inner race ring (2) has a larger and/or smaller diameter. By such a profiling of the locking surfaces, an overloading at the edges of the locking elements is prevented. <IMAGE>
