Abstract
A selectable one-way clutch is provided. The selectable one-way clutch comprises a selector member rotated at a predetermined angle between an engagement position and a disengagement position, and an actuator that reciprocates linearly along a tangential line of the selector member to rotate the selector member to the engagement position and to the disengagement position. The actuator comprises an actuation member that is offset from the selector member in a direction along a rotational center axis of the selector member to actuate along the tangential line of the circumference of the selector member. The selectable one-way clutch further comprises an arm connecting the actuation member and the selector member to rotate the selector member by a linear motion of the actuation member.
