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. 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. The sensor device is arranged next to a face side of the shifting sleeve in an axial direction, forming an axial gap between the sensor device and the face side, so that the Hall sensor can detect the gap width in the axial direction.
