Zusammenfassung: | A device is configured to control activation of a low-friction clutch, wherein the low-friction clutch includes a first member coaxial to a second member and a controllable activation device interposable therebetween. The device includes a piston that is mechanically coupled to the activation device, a spring that is disposed to urge the piston in a first direction, a controllable electrical coil disposed adjacent to the piston. The electrical coil is disposed to generate an electro-magnetic force to urge the piston in a second direction that is opposed to the first direction when activated, and the spring and the electrical coil interact with the piston to selectively mechanically couple the first and second members via the controllable activation device. |
