• an inner race and an outer race that are coaxial and rotatable relative to each other;
• a plurality of cams circumferentially arranged at intervals between the inner race and the outer race;
• and
• a biasing means biasing each of the plurality of cams to make contact with the inner race and the outer race,
• the plurality of cams including first cams and second cams that wedge against the inner race and the outer race in different directions from each other,
• the cam clutch further comprising a cam interlock mechanism that tilts each of the plurality of cams in a coordinated manner,
