Wedge clutch with breaker ring
Abstract:
A clutch includes a hub, a carrier defining a circular groove, and a wedge disk defining apertures and having a first edge disposed on the hub and a second edge disposed in the groove. The clutch further includes a breaker ring encircling the hub and having projections that are each received in one of the apertures. The breaker ring is slidably connected to the hub and is configured to rotate the wedge disk relative to the hub, via engagement between the projections and the apertures, in response to the breaker ring sliding towards the wedge disk.
