Abstract
An object of the present invention is to provide a cam clutch capable of switching from one operating mode to another and offering improved stability of clutch operations and high responsiveness. The object is achieved by an operating mode switching means () having a cam attitude change part () being drivable independently of rotation of the inner race () and outer race (). A load support point (Sp) is located radially between a load application point (Ap) of the cam attitude change part () on the cam () and a distal contact point (Ep) of the cam () on a raceway positioned on a radially distal side relative to the load application point (Ap). The radial distance (d) between the load application point (Ap) and the load support point (Sp) is larger than the radial distance (d) between the load support point (Sp) and the distal contact point (Ep).
