  • Transfer case having an actuator assembly with cam follower that is molded into a plastic actuator structure
    Patent number: 10500952
    Abstract: A transfer case having an actuator assembly with a plastic actuator structure and a cam follower. The actuator structure defines a sleeve structure, a fork structure and a follower mount. The sleeve structure defines a shaft aperture that extends longitudinally along an actuation axis. The fork structure extends radially outwardly from the sleeve structure and defines a U-shaped fork member having a pair of tines that are disposed about an engagement axis that is parallel to and radially offset from the actuation axis. The follower mount extends radially outwardly from the sleeve structure. The cam follower is formed of metal and is partly encapsulated in the plastic material of the actuator structure. The cam follower extends from the follower mount along a follower axis that is parallel to the actuation axis. The follower axis is rotated about the actuation axis relative to the engagement axis.
