ABSTRACT:
A clutch hub includes a bottom wall, outer cylindrical portion and inner cylindrical portion that extend in the same axial direction from the bottom wall. The outer cylindrical portion has splines for engagement with friction plates on its outer circumferential surface. Splines formed on an outer circumferential surface of the inner cylindrical portion engage with splines formed on an inner circumferential surface of an inner race of a one-way clutch, so that the clutch hub and the inner race are connected with each other. With this arrangement, the clutch hub undergoes almost no radial displacement even if a large clearance exists between an output shaft and a hole of the clutch hub through which the output shaft is inserted. Further, the distance between the point to which a load due to the self-weight of the outer cylindrical portion and the weight of the friction plates are applied, and the point at which the clutch hub is supported by the inner race, is shortened, whereby the clutch hub is prevented from being excessively inclined. Thus, the posture of the clutch hub is less likely to be changed, and the life of a thrust bearing provided between the clutch hub and adjacent rotating member can be prolonged.
