Abstract
A one-way roller clutch, in particular for an adjuster of a disc brake, includes an inner body having an outer lateral surface, an outer ring, which covers the outer lateral surface of the inner body by way of an inner lateral surface in such a way that a clamping gap is formed, and a roller cage. The roller cage is arranged in the clamping gap. Spring-loaded clamping rollers are held in a rollable manner and are supported on respective ramp surfaces. The roller cage is retained on the inner body for conjoint rotation.

A one-way roller clutch for an adjuster of a disc brake, comprising:
- an inner body having an outer lateral surface, wherein the outer lateral surface of the inner body is configured as a polygon in a circumferential contour;
- an outer ring covering the outer lateral surface of the inner body with an inner lateral surface in such a way that a clamping gap is formed;
- and
- a roller cage arranged in the clamping gap, wherein
- spring-loaded clamping rollers are mounted in a rollable manner in the roller cage, each clamping roller being supported on a respective ramp surface,
- the roller cage is retained on the inner body in a rotationally secure manner, wherein in order to secure the roller cage against rotations openings are provided in a radial flange of the inner body, and studs which are oriented axially and are integrally formed on the roller cage, are inserted into the openings,
- a spring device lying resiliently against an associated clamping roller is provided, in each case, in respective windows of the roller cage,
- the spring device comprises an abutment element, which is held in a fixed position in a respective window of the roller cage, and a pressure piece, wherein the abutment element is a separate structure from the roller cage,
- a compression spring is arranged between the abutment element and the pressure piece, wherein the compression spring, the abutment element, and the pressure piece are separate structures,
- the pressure piece lies against the clamping roller, and
- the abutment element has a web which is fit into a slot of a wall of the respective window.
