Abstract
An object of the present invention is to provide a positive clutch that has a high rigidity and simple structure, reduces friction loss, prevents noise generation, allows a size reduction, and helps extend a service life. The object is achieved by the following configuration: Roller support parts are formed on one of an outer circumferential surface of the inner race and an inner circumferential surface of the outer race, and pocket parts are formed on the other one of the inner race and outer race. The clutch is configured to stop relative rotation of the inner race and outer race by holding the rollers, which are disposed between the inner race and the outer race, between the roller support parts and pocket parts in the circumferential direction.
