Abstract:
A coupling assembly such as a ratcheting-type, one-way clutch assembly having reduced undesirable noise and contact stress caused by a transition between operating modes of the assembly is provided. The assembly includes at least one set of elements disposed between coupling faces of members of the assembly. Each set of elements includes a movable locking element and a plurality of movable impact energy storage elements disposed at angularly spaced positions about a rotary axis to dampen rotation between the members in stages prior to engagement of the locking element with respective shoulders of each member. The storage elements absorb and store impact energy in stages to reduce undesirable noise and contact stress in a controlled fashion.
