Abstract
A one-way clutch includes multiple sprags located between an outer ring member and an inner ring member, a cage that holds the sprags such that the sprags are circumferentially spaced from each other, and a spring disposed along the cage and in contact with the sprags. The cage includes a tubular body and an annular flange. The body has multiple pockets that hold the sprags. The flange extends from an axial end of the body toward the outer ring member. A clearance is formed between the outer ring member and the flange along their entire circumference.
