Switchable mechanical coolant pump (10) comprising a pulley wheel (12) co-rotating with and supported by a rotatable rotor shaft (16), the pulley wheel (12) being directly drivable by a combustion engine, a pump wheel (18) rotatably supported at the rotor shaft (16), an electrically switched wedge-coupled wet friction clutch (40) with a clutch support (26) being fixed to the rotor shaft (16), a clutch ring (30) at the proximal side of the pump wheel (18), and a separate clutch disk (20) rotatably and shiftably supported by the rotor shaft (16), the clutch disk (20) comprising a ferromagnetic element (21) and being arranged axially between the clutch support (26) and the clutch ring (30), a static electromagnet (24) axially pulling the clutch disk (20) to the clutch support (26) into a disengaged position when energized, and a wedge coupling mechanism (22) defined at the proximal side of the clutch disk (20) and the distal side of the clutch support (26), the wedge coupling mechanism (22) comprising:
a wedge element (36), and a counter-wedge element (38). |
