Abstract
A wheel decoupling device for a motor vehicle includes a drive element, an output element, a sliding clutch arranged to connect the drive element to the output element for cojoint rotation, and an actuation unit arranged to adjust the sliding clutch. The actuation unit includes a gearwheel, a sliding ring supported on the sliding clutch in an axially fixed manner, a ramp system and a position-securing unit. The ramp unit is arranged to shift the sliding ring from a first position to a second position when the gearwheel is rotated and the position-securing unit is for axially securing the sliding ring in the first position and in the second position. In the first position, the drive element and the output element are rotationally decoupled, and, in the second position, the drive element and the output element are rotationally coupled in a form fitting manner.
