A torque transmitting device uses a continuously meshed face gear and at least one pinion supported by a carrier that adjusts the position of the pinions. The position of the pinions changes the amount of self-locking at the gear teeth. Controlling the position of the pinions on the face gear varies the amount of torque transferred between the face gear and the carrier supporting the pinion or pinions. Torque transfer can be varied throughout a range between low or negligible levels and a fully engaged state without the need for a fixed relationship between torque transfer and gear ratio.
