Abstract
The present invention aims at providing a cam clutch that realizes a reduction in production cost, improves productivity and assemblability, and increases the degree of design freedom. The cam clutch includes: an inner race and an outer race that are coaxial and rotatable relative to each other; a plurality of cams circumferentially arranged between the inner race and the outer race; and positioning members that keep each two adjacent cams at fixed positions relative to each other. The positioning members are configured to link each two adjacent cams such as to be tiltable independently of each other.
