Abstract

See full text

Electromechanical unidirectional rotary clutch systems and methods are disclosed. According to an aspect, a clutch system includes an input member having an axis of rotation. The system also includes an output member defining an interior surface that faces the axis. Further, the system includes multiple pawls attached to the input member and each being configured to be positioned in a first position to engage the interior surface of the output member, and to be positioned in a second position such that the pawls do not engage the interior surface of the output member. The system also includes an electromechanical control configured to move the pawls between the first and second positions for engaging and disengaging the interior surface of the input member.
