Method for working outer race of one-way clutch of roller type

Abstract

The present invention provides a method for working an outer race of a one-way clutch of roller type comprising an outer race having pockets provided at their inner surfaces with cam surfaces, an inner race spaced inwardly from the outer race in a radial direction and disposed in concentric with the outer race, and a plurality of rollers disposed in the pockets and adapted to transmit torque between the outer race and the inner race when engaged by the cam surfaces, wherein the cam surfaces of the outer race are formed by milling working.

1 . A method for working an outer race of a one-way clutch of roller type comprising an outer race having pockets provided at their inner surfaces with cam surfaces, an inner race spaced inwardly from said outer race in a radial direction and disposed in concentric with said outer race, and a plurality of rollers disposed in said pockets and adapted to transmit torque between said outer race and said inner race when engaged by said cam surfaces, wherein:
 said cam surfaces of said outer race are formed by milling working.   
   
   
       2 . An outer race working method according to  claim 1 , wherein said outer race is formed as a ring shape having a hollow portion previously obtained by forging. 
   
   
       3 . An outer race working method according to  claim 1 , wherein said outer race is formed as a ring shape having a hollow portion previously obtained by forging and recessed portions are previously formed in an inner surface of said outer race at positions corresponding to said pockets.
