Abstract
A clutch includes a hub and a carrier that is concentric with the hub. The carrier has a first portion and a second portion that cooperate to define an annular groove. The first and second portions are axially movable relative to each other to change a width of the groove. A wedge disk has a first edge disposed on the hub and a second edge disposed in the groove. The wedge disk is configured to couple the hub to the carrier when the clutch is locked. An actuator is configured to urge the first and second portions together to lock the clutch.
