Abstract
An object of the present invention is to provide a cam clutch unit that can improve efficiency of torque transmission by improving ease of assembly and processability, while preventing a cam from falling out of a cage ring and preventing damage to a biasing member during assembly. The object is achieved by a cam by being configured to have a head portion and a leg portion that are configured to have respective maximum cross-sectional widths Wa and Wb larger than an opening width Wp of a pocket portion of a cage ring such that at least one of the head portion and the leg portion of the cam is allowed to pass through the pocket portion by rotating the cam while inserting the cam, which is in an inclined attitude, into the pocket portion along an opening direction thereof and thereby elastically deforming the pocket portion.
