  • Electric machine, lock and associated method
    Patent number: 10236746
    Abstract: An electric machine is provided. The machine includes a housing and a coil operably connected to the housing. The machine also includes a rotor. The rotor is rotatably secured to the housing and defines a first end of the housing which extends outwardly from a first end of the housing. The machine also includes a locking mechanism connected to the housing and selectively connected to the rotor. The locking mechanism is adapted to selectively provide a first mode in which the rotor may rotate relative to the housing and a second mode in which the rotor may not rotate relative to the housing.
    Type: Grant
