Ball bearing and general mechanism references

Use a one-way bearing, then you have everything integrated in one bearing. However they are very expensive when buying from the well known bearing manufacturers. The bearing are common in the roll-to-roll industry and thus needs precision and reliability. I figure your project don’t need that kind of precision.

We needed a ratchet mechanism and bearing also in a project and we bought bearings from One way bearings manufacturer China, one-way clutch bearing, Overrunning Cluthes, STIEBER Clutch STIEBER - First Choice in Freewheels! Backstops, Overrunning Clutches for industrial applications. Versions with clamping rollers ore sprags, with or without bearings. In size of ball bearings ie series 62, CSK series one-way bearings, sprag freewheel clutches CSK8, CSK12, CSK15, CSK17, CSK20, CSK25, CSK30, CSK35, CSK40, China, Ningbo, Cixi without any problems and to a good price, its the same price for any amount of quantity ordered.

And for the examples and references. Just think of products that work similar the way you want, buy it and pick it apart or just google images for it and try to find the technical term for the mechanism. Bicycles, fishing reels and of course, ratchet wrenches have the same function.
