Abstract:
A wedge clutch, including: a hub; a carrier; a first wedge plate segment radially located between the hub and the carrier and including a first ramp sloping radially inwardly in a first circumferential direction and including a first circumferential end; a second wedge plate segment radially located between the hub and the carrier and including a second ramp sloping radially inwardly in a second circumferential direction, opposite the first circumferential direction and including a second circumferential end. In a free-wheel mode of the wedge clutch, one of the hub or the carrier is rotatable with respect to the other of the hub or the carrier. In a locked mode of the wedge clutch: the hub and the carrier are non-rotatably connected for rotation of the hub in the first circumferential direction; and the first and second circumferential ends are in contact.
