    摘要: An assembly for a one-way clutch (OWC) includes a carrier, an outer race non-rotatably fixed to the carrier, an inner race, and a roller cage assembly. The roller cage assembly is disposed radially between the inner race and outer race to enable relative rotation therebetween. The roller cage assembly has a plurality of rolling elements and an annular cage and is configured to maintain the rolling elements in position. The cage including a flange extending radially inwardly. A support shim has an axial surface that contacts the flange, wherein the support shim is configured to absorb axial forces transmitted through the flange.

    摘要: A switchable one-way clutch is able to switch between operating as a one-way clutch and a clutch that locks in both directions. The clutch includes an inner race, and an outer race that includes an inner surface with a plurality of ramped profiles. A control plate is located radially outward from the inner race and moveable in an axial direction relative to the outer race. A plurality of rollers are contactable with the outer and inner races. A roller cage is configured to position and contain the plurality of rollers. A hydraulic piston is coupled to an actuator arm, such that movement of the piston along the axis moves the actuator arm along the axis. To switch and engage the clutch such that rotation is locked in both directions, the piston and actuator arm move axially to hold the control plate and attached roller cage against rotation.
