Abstract
Disclosed is a lubrication system for a one-way clutch which is provided with an inner ring, an outer ring, and an end bearing having an inner and outer peripheral walls and disposed between the inner ring and the outer ring. The end bearing is provided on a side wall thereof with convexities extending in an axial direction. The convexities are partly open, thereby forming flow passages through which a lube oil scattered from a side of the inner ring toward a side of the outer ring is allowed to flow into the one-way clutch.
