A disk friction clutch uses a self-energizing operation unit to amplify clamping force via rack gears and pinions driven by a small motor.
An electromagnetic clutch assembly disengages a transfer case lubrication pump from the drive shaft, eliminating parasitic losses during non-operation periods.
Sequential cooperation elements enable selective coupling of multiple shafts, resolving versatility versus complexity trade-offs.
Variable backlash in the clutch mechanism reduces self-steer during stationary steering while maintaining turning force.
A clutch collar with asymmetric projection parts controls a claw actuator to position a cam without external sensors.
A dual-solenoid electro-mechanical actuator uses spring-biased pawls to enable selective engagement and disengagement with rotor teeth.
