Abstract

A freewheel retainer ring with centrifugal force takeoff has two ring-shaped edge rings which are connected with each other by several axial connecting bolts and which mount clamping members between them. For this purpose, separate pockets are arranged respectively at both end faces of the clamping members. The pockets at least guide the clamping member in the circumferential direction, whereby one pocket is connected with one edge ring, and the other pocket is connected with the opposite edge ring.
