Abstract
A rotatable inner race is disclosed. The inner race may include a plurality of arcuate segments each having a first end with a first end geometry and a second end with a second end geometry. The first and second end geometries may be complimentary to each other to join adjacent arcuate segments at an interlocking joint. The rotatable inner race may further include a plurality of race engagement notches extending radially from an outer circumferential surface of each arcuate segment and the plurality of arcuate segments are joined together at the interlocking joints to form a race ring and the plurality of race engagement notches of each arcuate segment align with one another to define an array of race engagement notches around an outer circumference of the race ring.
