Autorotation subsystem is looking up for two reason :

1. Absence of lubrication.
2. It is Damage the hub, the one way bearing or both.

When you said, you change the one way bearing, you mean the whole system or just the bearing?

Did you replace the hub?
The hub is the collar that works inside the one way bearing, its works spinning in one direction and look up in the other because the one way bearing.

If the surface of this hub is irregular, it is damaged.

This is hard to believe that two entire systems fail for no particular reason.

Is there a possibility that the issue is on the gears? Could be eccentric and that could cause noise and look up at low rpm...

This is an overrunning clutch, not a bearing. Large amounts of any kind of lube are detrimental to proper operation.

The clutch locks the main drive gear to the shaft when driven, and allows the shaft to free-wheel when the gear is not driven. Very little RPM and little friction involved when free-wheeling.

As a clutch, why would you lube it? It is either locked up or disengaged.

There is no need to lube it. Best you should do is clean a new one-way clutch with automatic transmission fluid, dry it and remove any excess ATF, and install it. Do not add oil or grease, this only collects dirt and grime causing premature failure.-----

Finally someone that knows what their talking about when helping others!
Some people think their experts and can give "BAD" advice/suggestions to others,they really should "STOP".I've had some members here PM me about this same person not knowing what he's talking about and giving bad advice...
But he'll continue anyway,because of his "EGO".

A brand new one way bearing comes with lube in it from factory. Brand new Heli kit and one way bearing gets stuck on maiden.. I can break it loose but just get struck again. Never had this problem with my 600N’s

It may be that the one way bearing or the ball bearing is not seating square in the main gear case. Or the one way bearing shaft is out of round.
Just a suggestion.Blades; what goes around, comes around!

Hmm... Interesting advice. I've never thought of it that way.

I have always flooded or filled the one-way on my helicopters. I suppose that goes back to my earliest days flying X-Cells (mid/late '80s). Their advice was to fill the "bearing" with Tri-Flow or ATF. I've always pictured the oil "floating" the elements of the OW. It's always worked for me but I'll admit, most of the oil I use for assembly doesn't stay long.

As a reality check I just pulled up the first manual I could find - an Align 700 - and they still recommend applying grease to the OW.
http://www.align.com.tw/ManuaLib/He...H70E23-25XT.pdf

And I might add that while it seems counterproductive, oiling a "clutch" is hardly rare. Almost all motorcycles have a "wet" clutch. That is, the clutch pack is bathed in the engine's motor oil. Ducati is known for the rattle of their dry clutch and are something of a rarity. It seems odd but the friction plates of my two Suzuki's are literally swimming in 10W-40 oil.

Anyway, something to think about."Well, nothing bad can happen now."

I normally grease OWB with OWB grease. Align has this grease for sale before. Yes, it would catch dirt but this is part of my maintenance job.

Normally, in my case, the hub will worn out first and then the OWB.

The hub.
That is correct.

This "pair", hub plus OWB, should work always together.

You can "rectify" using sand paper but the result is not reliable.

See this hub... Raptor 50... 300 flights... Look worn out but still working...

OWB on the left.

You guys have apparently forgotten the dozens of threads on this subject from when the 600N first came out. Get an actual industrial NSK/Koyo FC12 bearing and it will never lock up. Any excess oil or ATF will run out of the clutch. Some greases not so good.
