Zusammenfassung:A positive drive differential assembly including a differential with an input pinion configured to operably engage with a drive shaft so as to permit the drive shaft to rotate the pinion. A bi-directional overrunning clutch assembly is configured to transmit torque between the pinion and two drive axle segments. A pinion disconnect assembly is provided for controlling transmission of rotation to the pinion and including a rotary coupler. A linear actuator is connected to the rotary coupler and configured to translate the rotary coupler between connected and disconnected positions.
