Abstract
A one-way clutch includes a first clutch member, a second clutch member disposed coaxially with the first clutch member for rotation relative to the first clutch member, and an electromagnetic actuator assembly. The assembly is supported on one of the clutch members and configured to engage the other of the clutch members. The assembly includes a core, a coil disposed therearound, and a magnetic armature having an aperture therethrough. The armature is pivotable toward a longitudinal end of the core by energization of the coil from a de-energized position to an energized position such that the end of the core resides in the aperture in at least one of the positions.
