Abstract
An electromagnetically shiftable positive engagement clutch is shown. The positive engagement clutch has a shifting sleeve which is arranged on a shaft for joint rotation therewith and is linearly displaceable along the shaft between a clutch engagement position and a clutch disengagement position, and at least one clutch body which is aligned coaxially with the shaft. For adjustment of the shifting sleeve along the shaft, the positive engagement clutch includes a stator having at least one energized drive coil. In the clutch engagement position there is a positive engagement between the shifting sleeve and the clutch body and thus a rotary connection between the shaft and the clutch body. In addition, the positive engagement clutch includes a differential transformer sensor having coils and an electronic module, the differential transformer sensor being configured to detect the engagement position of the shifting sleeve by means of the coils. Here, the electronic module is configured to convert the output signal of the coils into a direct current signal.
