Abstract
A selective torque transfer device is provided to transfer torque between one rotating component and a decoupled non-rotating component. The torque transfer device has an input shaft that extends along an axis and is connected to an input hub. The input shaft and input hub rotate about the axis on which they extend. A slider is disposed within the input hub and is capable of moving in a direction transverse to the axis. An output shaft extends along the axis and is connected to an output hub. The output shaft and output hub rotate about the axis on which they extend when the selective torque transfer device is in the engaged position. A link pivotally connects the output hub to the slider. The input hub is configured to rotate about its axis to create a torque.
