METHOD OF MANUFACTURING CLUTCHES AND OVERRUNNING CLUTCH Russian patent published in 2006 - IPC F16D41/00 

FIELD: mechanical engineering.

SUBSTANCE: method comprises casting the blank, molding or working the blank, making at least two slots at an angle to the face of the blank, applying marks of the clutch member positions, and separating the clutch members by removing cross-pieces in the zone where the slots are conjugated by, e.g., drilling at least two openings. The overrunning clutch comprises two clutch members, seating opening, and opening for locator. The contact surfaces are provided with slots positioned at angle α, which depends on outer diameter D and diameter d₂ and separating openings as follows d₂ = Dtgα.

EFFECT: reduced labor consumption and cost.
