A clutch cover for a roller blind clutch. The clutch cover comprises a clutch barrel portion mounted upon and extending outwardly from a first side of a backing plate, a cover ring and one or more indexing locators to fix the position of the cover ring relative to the backing plate when the cover ring is releasably secured about the backing plate. The cover ring includes a chain guide and is releasably securable about the backing plate such that the cover ring encompasses the backing plate. The indexing locators prevent relative rotational movement between the cover ring and the backing plate when the cover ring is releasably secured about the backing plate. The indexing locators permit the chain guide to be positioned at a plurality of angles relative to the backing plate.

A fluid pump (10) for a motor vehicle comprising a pump rotor (20) for pumping a fluid, a shaft (12) for driving the pump rotor (20) and a clutch (16) for the switchable coupling of the shaft (12) to the pump rotor (20). The clutch (16) is designed to connect the shaft (12) to the pump rotor (20) in a positive-locking manner and to separate said shaft from said pump rotor.

A ramp actuator has a pivotable ramp disc, which on a first end face has at least one ramp, which is prepared for the rolling of a rolling body and, spaced apart therefrom, has a raceway for bearing rolling bodies of a rolling bearing prepared to receive radial and axial forces. A bearing ring can be fixed on a shaft, wherein the ratio of the axial width of the ramp disc relative to the support height thereof is between 2.9 and 4.1 and the ratio between the ramp radius of the ramp of the ramp disc relative to the support height of the ramp disc is between 0.7 and 1.3. A method for producing a ramp disc for such a ramp actuator includes drawing, upset forging and embossing, preferably carried out in that order.

A shifting system includes an input member, a disconnect, an output member, and a shifting assembly to selectively rotationally couple the input member and the output member. The shifting assembly includes an input hub having a disconnectable component engageable with the disconnect and a clutch engagement component extending radially away from an axis. A plurality of clutch plates is coupled to the clutch engagement component and is moveable between engaged and disengaged positions. A biasing member is coupled to the clutch plates to bias the clutch plates toward the engaged position, and an apply plate is coupled to the biasing member. The apply plate is moveable between a first plate position where the clutch plates are in the engaged position, and a second plate position where the clutch plates are in the disengaged position. A clutch plate carrier is coupled to the clutch plates and to the output member.

A driver assembly of a top-loader washer includes: a bearing housing provided under an outer tub and having a bolt screwed into a lower surface of the bearing housing, a stator provided under the bearing housing and defining a first hole, a clutch stopper interposed between the bearing housing and the stator and defining a second hole, a first sleeve coupled to the first hole, and a second sleeve coupled to the second hole. The bolt is inserted into the first sleeve through the first hole and into the second sleeve through the second hole to fasten the bearing housing, the clutch stopper, and the stator and the second sleeve is spaced apart from the bearing housing based on the first sleeve and the second sleeve being fastened to and in contact with each other by a fastening force of the bolt.
