  • Publication number: 20230347691
    Abstract: An axle shaft disconnect clutch includes a housing, an axle shaft, a stub shaft, a dog clutch and an inner race. The axle shaft includes a first outer spline and the stub shaft includes a second outer spline. The dog clutch has an inner spline engaged with the second outer spline and the inner race is rotationally fixed and axially displaceable relative to the housing to axially displace the dog clutch and engage or disengage the inner spline with the first outer spline. In some example embodiments, the axle shaft disconnect clutch has a bushing pad fixed to the inner race. The inner race is arranged to push the dog clutch towards the first outer spline to engage the dog clutch, and the inner race is arranged to pull the bushing pad to pull the dog clutch away from the first outer spline to disengage the dog clutch.

  • Patent number: 11261922
    Abstract: A clutch assembly includes an outer ring having a first and second pocket, and an inner ring. A strut and pawl may be disposed within the first and second pockets. The pawl may be configured such that rotation of the strut pushes the pawl toward teeth of the inner ring for engagement therewith. In a first mode of operation, the pawl does not contact the teeth and the inner ring is free to rotate in the first and second rotational directions. In a second mode of operation, the pawl is in partial engagement with the teeth and the inner ring is free to rotate in the second rotational direction and prevented from rotation in the first rotational direction. In a third mode of operation, the pawl is in full engagement with the teeth and the inner ring is prevented from rotation in both the first and the second rotational directions.

  • Patent number: 11215243
    Abstract: A clutch assembly comprises an actuation assembly, an outer ring, and an inner ring disposed radially inward of the outer ring and rotatable about an axis in first and second rotational directions. A first and second strut are rotatably disposed within first and second pockets of the outer ring and configured to be rotated by the actuation assembly. A first pawl and a second pawl are rotatably disposed within a third pocket and a fourth pocket, respectively. For a transition mode, the actuation assembly is configured to rotate the first strut within the first pocket such that rotation of the first strut in the first rotational direction urges the first pawl radially inward into partial engagement with teeth disposed on an outer surface of the inner ring, the second pawl remains free of contact with the inner ring and the inner ring rotates in the first rotational direction.
