DRIVELINE COMPONENT WITH A SELECTIVE CONNECTION ASSEMBLY
DRIVE
October 30, 2025
A driveline component with a selective connection assembly includes a first rotary component having splines, a second rotary component having splines, a coupling body arranged to be mated with the first rotary component splines and the second rotary component splines, an actuator, a drive cam and a follower cam. The drive cam is rotated about an axis by the actuator, has first and second drive surfaces both at a non-zero angle to the axis. The follower cam has first and second driven surfaces, and moves axially to move the coupling body. Rotation of the drive cam in a first direction engages the first drive and driven surfaces which moves the follower cam and coupling body in a first axial direction. Rotation of the drive cam in a second direction engages the second drive and driven surfaces which moves the follower cam and coupling body in a second axial direction.
