Abstract

The present invention relates to a clamping body freewheel including an inner part having a circular cylindrical outside circumference, an outer part having a circular cylindrical inside circumference, and clamping bodies, which are accommodated in a gap formed by the inside circumference and the outside circumference and are arranged consecutively in the circumferential direction in a tiltable manner and are guided in openings of a cage, where the clamping bodies are arranged in a radially inwardly open sleeve, and the clamping body freewheel is introduced in the outer part by means of the sleeve in a rotationally fixed manner, and a track is formed on an inside circumferential surface of the sleeve for the clamping bodies.

Claims (20)

1 - 7 . (canceled)

8 . An apparatus for a clamping body freewheel, comprising:

an inner part having a circular cylindrical outside circumference;

an outer part having a circular cylindrical inside circumference; and,

clamping bodies, which are accommodated in a gap formed by the inside circumference and the outside circumference and arranged consecutively in a circumferential direction in a tiltable manner and are guided in openings of a cage, comprising:

clamping bodies arranged in a radially inwardly open sleeve;

the clamping body freewheel is introduced in the outer part by means of the sleeve in a rotationally fixed manner; and,

a track is formed on an inside circumferential surface of the sleeve for the clamping bodies.

9 . The apparatus recited in claim 1 , wherein the sleeve in a raw state is constructed in the shape of an L in the cross section, and, after insertion of the clamping bodies, is flanged in order to form a U-shaped cross section.

10 . The apparatus recited in claim 2 , wherein the sleeve is deep drawn in an off-tool manner.

11 . The apparatus recited in claim 1 , wherein the sleeve is pressed into the outer part.

12 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the clamping bodies are supported axially on both sides by means of a wall of the sleeve.

13 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein a subassembly comprising the cage, the clamping bodies, and the sleeve has an inner ring having an inside circumference with a track for the clamping bodies, wherein the inner ring is connected to the inner part by means of a press fit.

14 . A method for producing a clamping body freewheel, comprising:

an inner part having a circular cylindrical outside circumference;

an outer part having a circular cylindrical inside circumference; and,

clamping bodies, which are accommodated in a gap formed by the inside circumference and the outside circumference and arranged consecutively in a circumferential direction in a tiltable manner and guided in openings of a cage,

wherein the clamping bodies are inserted into a sleeve that has the shape of an L in the cross section;

the sleeve is flanged radially inwards on one side in order to form a U-shaped cross section; and,

the sleeve is pressed to the inside circumference of the outer part.
