摘要 A one-way clutch is provided. The one-way clutch includes an outer cam having a plurality of notches. Each of the plurality of notches is circumferentially spaced along an inner periphery of the outer cam. The one-way clutch also includes an inner race positioned coaxially within the outer cam. The inner race includes a plurality of pockets circumferentially spaced along an outer periphery of the inner race. The one-way clutch further includes a clutch mechanism. The clutch mechanism includes a plurality of leaf springs coupled to each of the plurality of notches. Each of the plurality of leaf springs is adapted to lock the outer cam and the inner race in first direction, and to slide on the outer periphery of the inner race in a second direction.
