ABSTRACT:
A drive disconnect device is provided in which a drive transfer element (12) is axially movable with respect to input and output shafts (2, 14) so as to selectively disconnect them. A collar (50) is disposed in spaced apart configuration around the drive transfer element so that they do not touch except when the disconnect device is operated to disconnect the drive. When the disconnect operation is initiated, force is provided from a resilient element (56) to move the drive transfer element.
