Rollers and springs are installed in notch portions of a clutch outer (S), an inscribed circle diameter of the rollers is measured in a state in which the rollers are placed in contact with stopping portions by pressure from the springs (S), and an outside diameter of a cylindrical portion is determined from the inscribed circle diameter measured value such that a predetermined amount of roller bite is achieved (S). Then, the outside diameter of the cylindrical portion is finished so as to have the determined value of the outside diameter (S). An overrunning clutch is assembled by pairing together the clutch outer, rollers, and springs and the clutch inner (S).

Method for manufacturing an overrunning clutch

To prevent an attracting force to the plunger from becoming insufficient, at least one of an output shaft and a thrust spline is formed from magnetic material having a lower relative permeability than iron.
