Abstract
An object of the present invention is to provide a one-way clutch capable of preventing wear on radially inner engagement surfaces and radially outer engagement surfaces of cams in periods of high-speed freewheeling. The one-way clutch includes an inner race () and an outer race (), a plurality of cams () provided between the inner race () and the outer race (), and side plates () provided to at least one of the inner race () and outer race () and positioned on both sides in an axial direction of the cams (). The plurality of cams () are each configured to receive a predetermined centrifugal force to turn in an engaging direction in which the cams engage the inner race () and outer race () when the inner race () and outer race () rotate together in the same direction.
