Abstract
A one-way clutch integrated with a rolling bearing includes rolling elements and sprags which are arranged in an annular space between an inner race and an outer race. In each of the inner and outer races, a one-way clutch raceway surface is formed in one axial side of a rolling bearing raceway surface. The rolling elements and the sprags make contact with respective raceway surfaces and are respectively housed in circumferentially spaced pockets formed in a common cage configured by mutually engaging and integrating two annular members in an axial direction. An associated peripheral side of each of the sprags contacts a surface of either a shaft fitted to an inner peripheral face of the inner race or a housing to which an outer peripheral face of the outer race is fitted.
