Abstract
An anti-roll bar may include a hydromechanical disconnect. The hydromechanical disconnect may use windup torque as an actuating force to disconnect the hydromechanical disconnect. Hubs of the hydromechanical disconnect may be axially separated due to an axial separating force produced in face splines of the hubs. An oil control valve may control the disconnecting motion depending on the desired mode of the hydromechanical disconnect. The oil control valve controls the flow of fluid between advance and retract chambers defined by the hydromechanical disconnect. Flow from the advance chamber to the retract chamber may maintain the hydromechanical disconnect in a connected position. Flow between both the advance chamber and the retract chamber may allow translation of the hydromechanical disconnect between the non-rotatably connected position and a disconnected position. Flow blocked between the advance chamber and the retract chamber may maintain the hydromechanical disconnect in the disconnected position.
