Embrayage à roue libre


Explanation:
"sprag converter" is not the common name for this gizmo. The correct name is sprag clutch or sprag-type (free-wheel) clutch.

The common name in French is simply "roues libres"

You can say "converisseur roues libres" if you want to, but "roues libres" by itself is sufficient.
