Composite Ramp Plate For Electronically Actuated Locking Differential

Abstract: A cam member (14) for a vehicle differential (10) includes a cam surface (14a) made of a high durability alloy and a clutch surface (14b) made of a high density magnetic alloy. The cam surface (14a) and the clutch surface (14b) can either be formed into a single component or as separate components that are mechanically coupled together. In one aspect both the high durability alloy and the high density magnetic alloy are powdered metal alloys. As a result the cam member (14) has different surfaces (14a 14b) with optimized characteristics that would ordinarily be difficult to incorporate into a single component.
