Abstract
A one-way clutch comprises first and second rotational members radially spaced apart from each other and concentrically disposed for relative rotation and having axially extending annular track surfaces, a torque transmitting member disposed between the first and second rotational members for transmitting a torque between the track surfaces, a pair of retainers for retaining the torque transmitting member circumferentially, and a bearing member for holding the first and second rotational members concentric, the rear surface portion of the bearing member being formed with a recessed lubricating oil supply area for expediting the introduction of lubricating oil for lubricating the one-way clutch between the rear surface portion and a surface sliding relative thereto.
