  • Selectable one-way clutch with improved electromagnetic module
    Patent number: 11255387
    Abstract: A controllable one-way clutch assembly having an electromagnetic actuator module equipped with an energizeable coil assembly, a strut moveable in response to energization of the coil assembly from a released position to a locked position, and a latching mechanism operable to releaseably hold the strut in the released position when the coil assembly is not energized.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 22, 2018
    Date of Patent: February 22, 2022
    Assignee: MAGNA POWERTRAIN INC.

  • Selectable one-way coupling with debris containment
    Patent number: 11022186
    Abstract: A selectable one-way clutch includes a clutch module and an electromagnetic actuator module. The electromagnetic actuator module includes an electromagnetic actuator and a strut assembly. The electromagnetic actuator having a coil assembly with a magnetic pole piece. The strut assembly having a strut and a magnetic armature mechanically interconnected to the strut for moving the strut between released and deployed positions in response to energization of the coil assembly. A contamination shroud is disposed between the armature and the pole piece to prevent collection of debris therebetween.
