Abstract

In some implementations, the device may include stationary and rotatable members. A locking element supported on the stationary member moves between an engaged, torque hold or transfer position where the locking element holds or transfers torque between the stationary member and the rotatable member and a disengaged, torque-free position where the locking element holds or transfers no torque between the stationary member and the rotatable member. The device may include a threaded shaft, with the locking element threadably received on the threaded shaft.
