ABSTRACT:
A one-way clutch assembly includes a cage, a plurality of sprags maintained in position by the cage and a plurality of spring members also maintained in position by the cage for keeping the sprags in normal position by applying resilient forces. The one-way clutch is mounted between an inner and an outer rings to control the transmission of power therebetween depending on the direction of relative rotation between the inner and outer rings. The cage has an outer peripheral surface facing the outer ring and an inner peripheral surface facing the inner ring. At least part of at least one of the inner and outer peripheral surfaces is defined as a slide contact or bearing surface against an associated one of the outer and inner rings to avoid the sprags from being damaged. The cage is a combined cage including a male cage half and a female cage half combined together through a pair of spaced male-female connection portions extending between each pair of adjoining sprags.
