3.19.2 Overrunning clutch
If, in addition to the main drive, you couple an auxiliary drive to the gear unit, then this coupling
is realised using an overrunning clutch.
When the auxiliary drive is used to drive the gear unit, the overrunning clutch allows torque to
be transferred in one direction of rotation, while "free-wheeling operation" applies when driven
by the main drive.
The output shaft of the main drive rotates in the same direction of rotation, irrespective of
whether the main drive is used or the auxiliary drive.
