PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve the performance of retaining grease without reducing the capacity of torque. SOLUTION: The one-way clutch comprises a plurality of sprags 3 arranged between an outer ring 1 and the inner ring 2 arranged coaxially with each other along the peripheral direction for engaging/disengaging the outer ring 1 with/from the inner ring 2, a cage 4 for holding the sprags 3, and an elastic member 5 for energizing the sprags 3 in the engaging direction, wherein contact portions between each engaging element 3 and each of the outer ring 1 and the inner ring 2 is lubricated by grease 6 filled between the outer ring 1 and the inner ring 2. The sprags 3 each have a through-hole 10 formed between both idling side cam faces 3d', 3u'. The grease is therefore retained in the through-holes 10, and the through-holes 10 are opened to the idling side cam faces 3d', 3u' to give no influences to the effective areas of engaging side cam faces 3u", 3d". This improves the performance of retaining the grease without reducing the capacity of torque. COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT
