Abstract
An actuator is provided and includes first and second shafts, a friction plate affixed to the second shaft, a one-way clutch that includes an inner diameter portion affixed to the first shaft, an outer diameter portion and a one-way clutch portion interposed between the inner and output diameter portions and a bearing. The bearing is disposed such that a compressive load path is formed from the first shaft, through the bearing and the outer diameter portion and to the friction plate and the second shaft. The one-way clutch portion is configured for free-wheeling during forward rotation of the first shaft that permits forward rotation transmission to the second shaft and for jamming during reverse rotation of the first shaft to create a drag event on the friction plate that inhibits reverse rotation transmission to the second shaft.
