Two way overrunning clutch 2




Blue outter disk and pink fork rotate around a fixed axis. Green inner disk of oval shape rotates idly on the pink fork.

Brown flat springs force rollers into wedgeshaped gaps between the outter and inner disks.

The arrows show which link is the driving at different times.

The rotation of two directions can be transmitted from the outter disk
