Abstract
An end bearing for one-way clutch which is preferred for use in an automatic transmission is disclosed. The end bearing comprises a body formed of a steel plate, a hard coating applied to the surface of the body, and a soft coating applied to the surface of the hard coating. The steel plate of the body assures a sufficient rigidity. Regions of the end bearing which provide sliding surfaces are covered by a soft coating and a hard coating, which improves the anti-seizing resistance and the durability of the end bearing.
