Abstract
An electromagnetically shiftable positive engagement clutch is shown, having 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, a clutch body which is aligned coaxially with the shaft, and a stator having at least one energizable drive coil for adjustment of the shifting sleeve along the shaft, wherein 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. Moreover, the positive engagement clutch has a stationary sensor device which is arranged adjacent to the shifting sleeve and includes at least one Hall sensor and at least two magnets that magnetically enclose the at least one Hall sensor and are permanently stationary relative to the at least one Hall sensor, with the magnets pointing toward the shifting sleeve and having opposite polarities relative to each other. The sensor device is adjacent to the shifting sleeve in a radial direction so as to be spaced apart therefrom by a radial gap, so that an axial movement of the shifting sleeve is detected by the Hall sensor through a reduction in the radial gap.
