ABSTRACT:
A vehicle driveline clutch using a ball ramp actuator supplying a clamping force on a clutch disc in response to an electromagnetic field where the clutch clamping force is maintained and increased with clutch slip using a plurality of one-way clutches acting in a pair of planetary gearsets with a one-way clutch acting on each planet gear and supported on a carrier ring which is frictionally connected to a ball ramp control ring upon energization by a clutch coupling with an electrical coil thereby creating relative rotational motion between the control ring and an actuation ring causing a plurality of rotational elements to travel along identical opposed variable depth ramps thereby creating an axial separation force between the control ring and the actuation ring generating the clamping force on the clutch disc. The clutch coupling includes a cone clutch where the clutch extension portion of the cone clutch has a plurality of drive flanges thereon that engage mating drive channels formed in the control ring to transfer rotational motion from an output element to the control ring through the clutch coupling without misalignment of the cone clutch.
