FIELD: machine engineering.
SUBSTANCE: freewheel clutch with the universal self-centering system comprises an input and output shafts and a self-centering system. A universal self-centering system with no matching geometric centers is used. A universal self-centering system has inner and outer bases which has three or more rollers, or rotation gears or sprockets connected by a closed belt, chain or rope. The geometric center of the inner base does not coincide with the geometrical center of the external base, and the bases rotation axes coincide. In presence of a torque on one of the bases, the chain, belt or rope are moved along their perimeters and rotate the sprockets, gears or rollers that are connected by the chain, belt or cable. On the same axis with the rollers, sprockets or gears of a bases, additional gears are fixed, which transmit torque to the gear fixed to the output shaft.
EFFECT: reliability increase.
