More Information
Summary:An electromechanical clutch for an electronic limited slip differential constructed in accordance to one example of the present disclosure includes a clutch pack, a first lever, a second lever and an actuator assembly. The clutch pack has first and second sets of clutch plates. The first lever arm is rotatably fixed at a pivot pin. The second lever arm is rotatably fixed at the pivot pin. The actuator assembly is configured to rotatably pivot at least one of the first and second lever arms relative to the other of the first and second lever arms whereby the first and second sets of clutch plates are selectively pressed together to thereby lock the electromechanical clutch.
