An end bearing, a one-way clutch device and a method of manufacturing the
end bearing, capable of preventing abrasion or scorching of the end
bearing while improving the productivity. The annular end bearing which is
interposed between an inner race and an outer race of the one-way clutch
device and is in a slidable contact with the inner race or the outer race
when it is operated, wherein a recess having the depth of 5 to 30 .mu.m is
formed on a slidable contact surface with inner race or the outer race.
The method comprises a blanking step of blanking an annular blank from a
metal plate, a recess forming step of forming a recess in a predetermined
portion of said blank, and a drawing step of forming a flange on said
blank by drawing, wherein the above recess forming step is executed before
or after the blanking step, or at the same time with the blanking step.
