Abstract
A power transfer unit for a motive device comprises an outer housing, an inner housing, and a torque transferring clutch. A piston housing is located between the outer housing and the torque transferring clutch. A piston is located in the piston housing. The piston is configured to provide actuation forces to the torque transferring clutch. And, when the torque transferring clutch receives the actuation forces, the torque transferring clutch causes the inner housing to rotate.
