Abstract
A drive assembly for a work vehicle includes an electric motor configured to rotate a driving shaft and a gear train configured to transmit torque between the driving shaft and a driven shaft. The drive assembly also includes a clutch member having an engaged position and a disengaged position. The clutch member is configured to allow torque transfer between the driving shaft and the driven shaft when in the engaged position. The clutch member is configured to prevent torque transfer between the driving shaft and the driven shaft when in the disengaged position. The clutch member is biased toward the disengaged position to prevent torque transfer in a direction from the driven shaft toward the driving shaft in an overspeed condition of the drive assembly.
