ABSTRACT:
A wheel hub clutch assembly which includes a cylindrical body attached to a wheel hub, an inner sleeve contained within the body and fixedly mounted on a driveable axle, a clutch member splined to the inner sleeve to be maintained in a first position in which external splining of the clutch member is disengaged from internal splining of the body to uncouple the wheel hub from the axle and to be axially moved from the first position to a second position in which the external splining is engaged with the internal splining to couple the wheel hub to the axle, a cam ring formed at one side thereof with a cam face and rotatable on the inner sleeve, a cam follower splined to the inner sleeve between the clutch member and the cam ring to cooperate with the cam face of the cam ring to be moved to and from the clutch member in response to rotation of the inner sleeve, and a return spring for loading the cam follower toward the cam face of the cam ring, wherein the cam follower is operatively connected to the clutch member, and the cam ring is arranged to be applied with the brake in response to rotation of the cam follower. In the clutch assembly, the cam face of the cam ring is improved to reliably effect complete disengagement of the external splining of the clutch member from the internal splining of the body in declutching operation.
