Abstract:
A torque coupling system including an input shaft, a main cam affixed to the input shaft, a clutch housing that surrounds the input shaft and provides an inter space, a scoop plate affixed to the clutch housing, an external housing that encloses the clutch housing and provides an outer space, and a main clutch that is articulable between a disconnected drive mode and a all-wheel drive mode. In the disconnected drive mode the main clutch disengages the input shaft from the clutch housing and the main cam rotates with the input shaft to transfer lubricant from the inner space to the outer space while in the all-wheel drive mode the main clutch engages the input shaft with the clutch housing and the scoop plate rotates with the clutch housing to scoop the lubricant from the outer space to inner space through the catch tank.
