Transfer case i.e. single speed type transfer case, for interconnecting and distributing power between main and auxiliary drivelines, has pivot lever applying axial force to frictional clutch plates to transmit drive torque

摘要

The case (20) has an actuator shaft rotatably coupled with an actuator and disposed in parallel relation with two output shafts (30, 40). A pivot lever coupled with the actuator perpendicularly extends from the actuator shaft and applies an axial force to clutch plates of a clutch assembly (42) to transmit drive torque of one output shaft to another output shaft. A cam follower of the pivot lever is received in a cam groove of the actuator shaft, and presses a trust bearing based on pivotal movement of the pivot lever.
