  • Publication number: 20250102018
    Abstract: A continuous velocity joint assembly comprising a rotatable input and a rotatable output. A continuous velocity mechanism that allows transfer of power between the input and the output while allowing angular variation is also provided. A disconnect arrangement has first and second portions capable of relative rotation with respect to one another in a disconnected state and incapable of relative rotation with respect to one another in a connected state. An electromechanical actuator causes the disconnect arrangement to shift between the disconnected state and the connected state, whereby the power is transferred between the input and the output in the connected state and power is not transferred between the input and the output in the disconnected state.
