One Way Clutch bearings are constructed from a drawn cup with needle roller clutches and have a small radial section height. They are often called One Way Bearings, Anti-Reverse Bearings, and Clutch bearings. The units are compact, lightweight, and operate directly on a shaft. They are also suitable for transmitting high torque. FRC offers standard one way clutch bearings.

One way bearings are designed to transmit torque between the shaft and housing in one direction and allow free motion in the opposite direction.

Features of one way bearings:

• Torque can be transmitted by either the housing or the shaft.

• Torque is positively transmitted by rollers that wedge against interior ramps.

• Transition from free motion to lock occurs with minimal backlash or lost motion.

• Available as clutch-only or as a clutch and bearing assembly.

• Clutch-only units should be used with external radial support to hold the shaft and housing.

Applications one way bearings:

• Paper moving for copiers, fax machines, paper towel dispensers, etc.
