A caging device for releasibly caging or clutching two relatively rotatable members to one another, such as a rotatable shaft to a fixed support or two independently rotatable shafts to one another, by axial movement of a clutch or caging member having a conically tapered clutch surface to and from a position of simultaneous engagement of its clutch surface with coaxial conically tapered clutch surfaces on the relatively rotatable members. The caging member can be electromechanically, hydraulically, pneumatically, or thermally actuated.
