Abstract
A brake adjuster mechanism including an input shaft, a one-way clutch, and a torque limiting clutch. The input shaft is coupled to an input element of the torque limiting clutch. The one-way clutch is coupled to the torque limiting clutch. The torque limiting clutch further includes an output element and a coupling portion, with the coupling portion including a projection for selectively rotationally coupling the input element and the output element. One of the input element and output element includes a first recess circumferentially spaced from a second recess. The projection is selectively biased into the first recess and the second recess. The input element is frictionally coupled by a friction device to the output element to resist rotation of the input element relative to the output element.
