Creates a freewheel for a wind up motor

Description

This function creates a freewheel consisting of two elements. An outer ring, which is later connected to a gear wheel, and an inner ring, which is fixed to the driven shaft. The function can be coupled with the SGspringSpiral and is part of the SGmotorwindup function
In combination with SGspringSpiral, the usage of "ccw" must be the same for both: SGspringSpiral, and SGfreewheel
