We look inside a one way bearing to see how it works. In this case, it's a sprag clutch type. Thanks for your help making VJOs. I appreciate your help. Early access here http://www.Patreon.com/AvE

Please guide me if this unit can work as a ball bearing as well, I mean can it take radial load too?
Now what would happen if I were to weld the inside to a bike axle. And the outside to a gear cog. Would the weld brake the bearing ? Affect the balls ? I know too much heat would shatter a bearing. But. Would it ruin the balls
That's the thing that keep helicopters from falling out of the sky when their engines suddenly fail while in flight. Lets the rotor blades keep freewheeling.
My favourite is a bi directional one way coupling. Maybe I've written that wrong but it allow for is torque to flow in either direction but only through the bearing one way, ie from the outer race through to the inner but not from the inner to the outer.
I just checked its called a two way over running clutch
This knowledge is more useful then most of the classes I took in school
I have a question about friction in these one-way roller and and one-way sprag type clutches. There doesn't seem to be much rolling going on. This appears to be because the rollers/sprags are static (non-rolling), unlike in a regular bearing, where they roll along both the inner and outer race.
So are these (both roller and sprag type) one-way clutches just very high friction?
Thank you for any answer. I greatly appreciate it. Cheers!
Thanks for the video, i have a recumbent tricycle from 1985 and i had no idea how the drive works like magic but i looked at the bearing of the drive wheel and its a clutch bearing like this but its more like an inch wide.
OWB, what kind of lubricants to use, and should we?
I have problems on my ebike MBK, when putting the ebike in “turbo” assistance one of the owb in the motor slips…
Ps: I did put some 2-takt motor oil on them 🤔
hehe good jok
Honda use a roller type clutch on the starter motor… so that the engine cannot spin the motor.
Ave: I have an idea for a ratcheting carrier to keep the balls rotating on short stroke pivot bearings
One of the most interesting trips I did was to SKF. They have this little exhibition in the foyer showing where their bearings are. Any kind of machinery that rotates, anywhere on the planet and off it, probably has an SKF bearing in it. There are a few other big bearing manufacturers too. SKF is a fascinating company.
I owned a 1948 landrover gearbox which had a roller sprag for four wheel drive (only going forward) The centre ramp was a three sided star cam thing and each one had a daddy’s, a mummy and a baby roller. So nine rollers in the clutch. It used to jump like jackhammer 😀
Allen bearings approved!
Thank you so much for teaching me
