ABSTRACT:
A hub clutch assembly for a vehicle which comprises a drive axle, a wheel, and a housing of a closed structure. The wheel is fixedly mounted on the housing. A clutch is movable between a connecting position where the housing and the drive axle are connected to each other, and a disconnecting position where the housing and the drive axle are disconnected from each other. An actuator is supplied with pressure to move the clutch to either the connecting position or the disconnecting position. A biasing element is provided for biasing the clutch both to the connecting and disconnecting positions. A closed chamber is defined between the housing and the actuator. A valve is provided for allowing the pressure to escape from the closed chamber to the actuator when the actuator is inoperative and for cutting off movement of the pressure when the actuator is operative.
