    摘要: The present disclosure describes an apparatus, and method of operation for an axial coupling that includes a shift linkage having a first end and a second end, the shift linkage configured to pivot between a first position and a second position. The axial coupling further includes a first solenoid affixed to the first end of the shift linkage, and actuating the first solenoid pivots the shift linkage between the first and second positions. A latch is configured to engage with the shift linkage retaining the shift linkage in the first position when engaged and a second solenoid positioned to contact the latch, that when energized, pivots the latch into and maintain the latch in an engaged position.

    摘要: Methods and systems are provided for operating a four-wheel drive powertrain of a vehicle. In one example, a method may comprise: in response to a desired shift from a four-wheel drive mode to a two wheel-drive mode: decreasing a transfer case torque output to a secondary driveline to a lower first level and disengaging a disconnect device of the secondary driveline; increasing the transfer case torque output from the lower first level to a higher second level over a duration; and after the duration, reducing the transfer case torque.

    摘要: Methods and systems are provided for operating an electromagnetic pulse disconnect assembly for selectively engaging two rotating components of a vehicle drivetrain. A disconnect assembly is needed that is not powered by vacuum diverted from an engine of the vehicle, as modern engines are being developed to reduce vacuum production and remove vacuum lines for powering peripheral devices such as disconnects. An electromagnetic pulse disconnect assembly is provided that operates via pulses of electrical current and includes an electromagnetic coil for translating a clutch ring assembly and a latching ring assembly to selectively couple two rotating components.
