Abstract
A one-way clutch has an annular space through which an outer ring and an inner ring face each other, the outer ring and the inner ring being disposed inside and outside each other in a diameter direction and concentrically with each other. A lubricant for lubricating an inner peripheral face of the outer ring and an outer peripheral face of the inner ring on which rollers roll is prepared by mixing a urea-based consistency increasing agent into ester-based or synthetic oil-based base oil with a pressure viscosity coefficient (at a temperature of 25° C.) set at 12 GPa or more. The lubricant provides for movement of state switching components to be stabilized even at a low temperature and wear of the state switching components and operating faces can be suppressed even at a high temperature.
