Abstract
A clamping body freewheel (1) has clamping bodies (2) arranged between a cylindrical outer raceway (4) and a cylindrical inner raceway (3) which is concentric with respect to said cylindrical outer raceway (4), which clamping bodies (2) can be tilted between a freewheel position and a clamping position, and has a cage (6) which guides the clamping bodies (2). The clamping bodies (2) are shaped and guided in the cage (6) in such a manner that they are raised both from the inner raceway (3) and from the outer raceway (4) into the freewheel position when a minimum rotational speed of the cage (6) is exceeded.
