Abstract

See full text

Overrunning, non-friction coupling and control assemblies, a switchable linear actuator device and a reciprocating electromechanical apparatus for use in the assemblies are provided. The device and apparatus control the operating mode of at least one non-friction coupling assembly. The device and apparatus have a plurality of magnetic sources which produce corresponding magnetic fields to create a net translational force. The net translational force comprises a first translational force caused by energization of at least one electromagnetic source and a magnetic latching force based upon linear position of a permanent magnet source along an axis. One or more cams are utilized to control whether a locking member either couples or uncouples its corresponding coupling assembly.
