Overrunning roller clutch with improved cage and bearing block

A unit handled roller clutch subassembly comprising:

• a sheet metal cage having a single flat end ring portion elongated in a direction perpendicular to a central axis,
• a plurality of circumferentially spaced, tab portions integrally connected to the end ring portion and extending in cantilevered fashion therefrom in an axial direction,
• a plurality of circumferentially spaced spring retainer portions integrally connected to the end ring portion and extending in cantilevered fashion therefrom in the same axial direction, said spring retainer portions being alternated with said tab portions and circumferentially spaced therefrom,
• a plurality of bearing blocks of low friction material having concentric inner and outer bearing surfaces mounted on respective ones of said plurality of tab portions for centering inner and outer clutch races with respect to each other, each of said bearing blocks having an axial slot receiving an associated one of said tab portions for retention in the circumferential and radial directions, and
• snap retention means associated with each of said axial slots for securing said bearing blocks on their associated tab portions in the axial direction, and
• each of said bearing blocks having a concave face for radially retaining a roller held thereagainst and a circumferential extension spaced from said flat end ring portion for retaining such a roller in the axial direction.
