Abstract
A one-way clutch incorporates an arrangement to lead lubricating oil to the torque transmitting members without the use of a penetrating hole in the inner ring or outer ring of the clutch. Instead, a guide arrangement is provided externally of the track surfaces of the inner and outer rings for leading the lubricating oil from outside the one-way clutch to the torque transmitting members, e.g. rollers or sprags. In a clutch having a centering block for supporting the inner and outer rings, the guide arrangement may lead the lubricating oil into the centering block.
