Coupling member subassembly for use in controllable coupling assembly and electromechanical apparatus having a pair of simultaneously actuated elements for use in the subassembly

摘要

A coupling member subassembly for use in a controllable coupling assembly and an electromechanical apparatus having a pair of simultaneously actuated elements for use in such a subassembly are provided. The apparatus includes a housing, an electromagnetic source having at least one excitation coil surrounded by the housing and a pair of spaced first and second elements. A reciprocating armature is arranged concentrically relative to the at least one excitation coil and is axially movable when the at least one excitation coil is supplied with current. An actuator bridge is mounted for axial reciprocating movement with the armature and is connected to the elements at opposite ends of the bridge to move the elements in unison between first and second positions during axial movement of the armature to control the operating mode of the assembly.

1. An electromechanical apparatus including a pair of simultaneously actuated elements for use in a controllable coupling assembly, the apparatus comprising:
a housing; an electromagnetic source including at least one excitation coil surrounded by the housing; a pair of spaced first and second elements; a reciprocating armature arranged concentrically relative to the at least one excitation coil and being axially movable when the at least one excitation coil is supplied with current; an actuator bridge mounted for axial reciprocating movement with the armature and connected to the elements at opposite ends of the bridge to move the elements in unison between first and second positions during axial movement of the armature to control the operating mode of the coupling assembly; and wherein the second element is an impact energy storage element to absorb and store impact energy to reduce undesirable noise and contact stress caused by a transition between operating modes of the coupling assembly.
