Abstract: The invention relates to a directional clutch with a drive element (10-120) and an output element (11;101, 102;130, 131) between which clamping elements (13, 14, 110) are arranged. Said clamping elements are connected to the output element in such a way that they turn without moving in relation to the direction of rotation of the output element both in a free-running position and in a torque transmitting position. The clamping elements are moved in a ring-shaped guide element (12) of the driving element in the free-running position and are blocked in said guide element (12) in the torque transmitting position. According to the invention, the output element consists of radial guides or borings (17;103, 104) each containing a projecting clamping body pin (15,16;111). In the first-mentioned case, the output element can be adjusted in an off-center position relative to the driving element.
