Product Specification

A needle roller clutch bearing, also known as a one-way needle roller bearing or a needle roller and cage assembly with a clutch, is a specialized type of needle roller bearing designed to transmit torque in one direction while allowing free rotation in the opposite direction. These bearings are commonly used in applications where a unidirectional motion or torque transfer is required, such as in overrun clutches, indexing systems, and backstopping devices.

Key features and components of a needle roller clutch bearing include:

Needle Rollers: The bearing incorporates a set of cylindrical needle rollers that are closely spaced and arranged in a cage. The needle rollers provide rolling contact between the bearing races, enabling smooth rotation and torque transmission.

Springs: A needle roller clutch bearing usually includes integral springs or other mechanisms that engage and disengage the needle rollers. These components allow the bearing to transmit torque in one direction and freewheel in the opposite direction.

Outer Race (Clutch Housing): The outer race, often referred to as the clutch housing, is designed to be the stationary component of the bearing. It is typically mounted within the application and provides a surface against which the needle rollers make contact.

Inner Race (Clutch Hub): The inner race, known as the clutch hub, is connected to the shaft or component that requires the torque transmission. It rotates with the shaft during the engaged (driving) mode and freewheels during the disengaged (overrunning) mode.

Engagement Mechanism: The design of the needle roller clutch bearing allows the needle rollers to engage with the outer race (clutch housing) when torque is applied in the driving direction. The engagement is facilitated by springs or other mechanisms that maintain contact between the needle rollers and the clutch housing.

Disengagement Mechanism: When torque is applied in the opposite direction, the engagement mechanism releases, allowing the needle rollers to separate from the clutch housing. This disengagement enables the bearing to freewheel or overrun without transmitting torque.

Needle roller clutch bearings are used in various applications where they provide advantages such as compactness, lightweight design, and efficient torque transmission. Examples of applications include:

Overrun clutches in automotive alternators and starters.

Indexing systems in conveyor belts and packaging machinery.

Backstopping devices in industrial equipment to prevent reverse rotation.

Freewheeling mechanisms in bicycles, scooters, and exercise equipment.

The selection of a needle roller clutch bearing depends on factors such as torque requirements, operating speeds, load conditions, and available space. These bearings play a crucial role in achieving efficient and reliable unidirectional motion in a wide range of mechanical systems.
