Abstract:
A one-way clutch and a supporting structure, comprising:an inner race; an outer race; and at least one end bearing disposed between the outer race and the inner race, wherein one race of the outer race and the inner race of the one-way clutch is fitted to a stationary member, the other race is fitted to a rotational member, and a radial clearance of a fitting portion between a spline bottom surface of the one race and a spline top surface of the stationary member is narrower than a radial clearance of a fitting portion between a spline bottom surface of the other race and a spline top surface of the rotational member to reduce surface pressure to the at least one end bearing, the other race and the rotational member are fitted so as to substantially not rotate relative to one another, wherein the supporting structure comprises the stationary member and the rotational member.
