Abstract
A selectable one-way clutch includes a first plate, a second plate, a claw, a selector plate and a plate driving device. The selector plate rotates relative to the first plate between a locked position and a released position. The plate driving device includes a drive arm, an actuator, a transmission mechanism, a stopper and a release mechanism. The actuator outputs a driving force to drive the selector plate via the drive arm. The transmission mechanism transmits the driving force to the drive arm such that the selector plate rotates from the released position to the locked position. The stopper is configured to move between a restricted position and an unrestricted position. The stopper is placed at the restricted position when the actuator is not operated. The release mechanism transmits the driving force to the stopper such that the stopper moves from the restricted position to the unrestricted position.
