Abstract

An outer contact surface element of a one-way clutch is configured to contact at least one clamping body of the one-way clutch when an inner ring of the one-way clutch rotates in a first direction. The outer contact surface element includes a hollow-cylindrical section, and at least one radially outwardly projecting lug. The outer contact surface element may also include features for connecting the outer contact surface element to a support bearing.
