ELECTROMECHANICAL ASSEMBLY TO CONTROL THE OPERATING MODE OF A COUPLING APPARATUS

摘要

An electromechanical assembly to control the operating mode of a coupling apparatus is provided. The apparatus has drive and driven members supported for rotation relative to one another about a common rotational axis and at least one strut for selectively mechanically coupling the members together. The assembly includes a first subassembly including a stator having at least one electromagnetically inductive coil to create a magnetic flux when the at least one coil is energized. The assembly further includes a second subassembly adapted for coupling with one of the members of the coupling apparatus to rotate therewith. The second subassembly is supported for rotation relative to the first subassembly about the rotational axis when coupled to the coupling apparatus. The second subassembly includes at least one bi-directionally movable rod.
