Abstract
A controllable one-way clutch assembly having a clutch module and an actuator module mounted to a first clutch member of the clutch module. The actuator module includes an electromagnetic actuator equipped with an energizeable coil assembly, a strut moveable in response to energization of the coil assembly from a released position to a locked position with respect to ratchet teeth formed on a second clutch member of the clutch module, and a strut spring biasing the strut toward its released position. The strut spring is configured to provide an anti-tilting feature.
