Abstract
Disclosed is an electric clutch including a clutch pack having clutch members transmitting torque when engaged, an input mechanism, and an actuator assembly. The input mechanism including a pinion gear configured to receive rotational input from an electric machine and a cam gear meshing with the pinion gear to rotate about a reference axis. The actuator assembly including an actuator spring and a cam disc disposed about the reference axis and engaging the cam gear at a cam ramp such that changing a clock position of the cam gear about the reference axis imparts translation of the cam disc along the reference axis to move the actuator spring. The actuator assembly further includes an actuator piston moved by the actuator spring in response to the translation of the cam disc to engage the clutch members of the clutch pack.
