ABSTRACT:
An actuator for a clutch ring has a pivotally movable fork that engages and moves the clutch ring axially. The fork is coupled to a nut mounted on a screw. The screw is reversibly driven by a drive motor to move the nut between its limit of travel. A flange on the nut contacts the switch to interrupt power to the motor to control its travel limit. Leaf springs mounted on the fork engage a flange of the clutch ring to urge the clutch ring to move axially as the fork is pivotally moved. The clutch ring surrounds drive and driven component and is axially movable in one direction to be engaged with only one of the drive and driven components to uncouple the drive component from the driven component. The clutch ring is axially movable in the other direction to be engaged with both the drive and driven components to couple the drive component with the driven component.
