    Abstract: A torque assembly including an inner member; an outer member; a first torque member disposed between the inner member and the outer member; and a second torque member disposed radially exterior or interior to the first torque member; where upon rotation in a first circumferential direction, the first torque member is allowed to generally freely rotate and in a second circumferential direction, the first torque member is radially shifted to impede or prevent rotation, and where the second torque member provides a circumferential slip interface between the inner member and the outer member to allow rotation in the second circumferential direction.

    Abstract: A torque assembly including an outer component, an inner component fitted within the outer component, and a tolerance ring provided between the outer component and the inner component to transmit torque between the inner and outer components, wherein torque transferred between the inner and outer components is adjustable by modifying the axial spacing between the inner component and the outer component.
