Abstract: A supercharger constructed in accordance to one example of the present disclosure can include a shaft portion connected to a pulley. A pair of supercharger rotors can be arranged for concurrent rotation with respective rotor shafts. A clutch rotor can be mounted to the shaft portion. The clutch rotor can rotate around a longitudinal axis. A clutch armature can be mounted to a drive shaft and unconnected to the shaft portion. The clutch armature can be configured to rotate around the longitudinal axis. The clutch rotor and the clutch armature can selectively cooperate in an engaged position and a disengaged position. In the engaged position, the clutch rotor and the clutch armature rotate together. An electric motor can have an output that provides a rotational input to one of the rotor shafts.

Abstract: A rotational element coupling device in a supercharger includes a rotatable output shaft having tapered external splines and an output shaft axis of rotation. A coupling disk has a disk axis of rotation coaxial with the output shaft axis of rotation, a tapered internally splined bore coaxial with the disk axis of rotation to engage the tapered external splines, and a plurality of apertures defined in the coupling disk parallel to the disk axis of rotation. A plurality of pins each have a disk end and a timing gear end distal to the disk end. The plurality of pins matingly engages with the coupling disk at the disk end of the pins via the plurality of apertures. A timing gear is fixed to a supercharger rotor for rotation therewith. The timing gear has a plurality of apertures disposed therein to matingly engage with the timing gear end of the plurality of pins.
