one way bearing

 A one-way bearing is a kind of bearing that can rotate freely in one direction and lock in the other direction. One-way bearings are also called overrunning clutches, but they are named according to different industries and different functions. The metal shell of a one-way bearing contains a lot of rollers, needles or balls, and the shape of the rolling seat (cavity) makes it only roll in one direction, and it will produce a lot of resistance in the other direction ( The so-called "one-way").
