Abstract
This invention provides a one-way clutch capable of hindering the generation of a coating between each sprag and each of inner and outer rings thereby preventing sprags and inner and outer rings from being damaged due to the slip therebetween and thereby lengthening the life of the engagement between each sprag and each of the inner and outer rings. The difference in surface hardness between each sprag () and each of an inner ring () and an outer ring () is set to be larger than a hardness of Rockwell C-scale HRC0 and to be equal to or smaller than HRC15.
