A multi-mode clutch module, comprising: an inner race comprising pair of inner race plates (20A, 20B) defining an axis, the plates extending radially about the axis and being axially spaced apart, each plate including a plurality of circumferentially spaced pawl apertures; an outer race radially disposed about the same axis, and extending circumferentially about the axis and between the inner race plates, the outer race including a plurality of circumferentially spaced radially inwardly depending cogs within an inner periphery thereof, each pair of cogs defining a notch therebetween; at least one actuator cam situated orthogonally to the axis, and adapted for limited angular movement about the axis between two selectable positions; opposed pairs of pawls (30A, 30B) supported within the plurality of circumferentially disposed pawl apertures, the pawls being angularly movable within the spaced pair of inner races; wherein in a first selectable actuator cam position, rotation of the inner races in one rotational direction causes a first of the pairs of opposed pawls to be urged into a notch of the outer race, and to engage a cog thereof, and to thereby lock the inner and outer races together, while rotation of the inner races in an opposite rotational direction causes the second of the pairs of opposed pawls to permit freewheeling of the inner race relative to the outer race; wherein in the second selectable actuator cam position, rotation of the inner race in either rotational direction causes the pawls to lock the inner race to the outer race; and characterized in that at a specific rotational speed, each pawl of each of the opposed pairs of pawls (30A, 30B) are adapted to centrifugally disengage from any contact with the actuator cam and with the outer race to reduce parasitic drag within the clutch module. an inner race comprising pair of inner race plates (20A, 20B) defining an axis, the plates extending radially about the axis and being axially spaced apart, each plate including a plurality of circumferentially spaced pawl apertures; an outer race radially disposed about the same axis, and extending circumferentially about the axis and between the inner race plates, the outer race including a plurality of circumferentially spaced radially inwardly depending cogs within an inner periphery thereof, each pair of cogs defining a notch therebetween; at least one actuator cam situated orthogonally to the axis, and adapted for limited angular movement about the axis between two selectable positions; opposed pairs of pawls (30A, 30B) supported within the plurality of circumferentially disposed pawl apertures, the pawls being angularly movable within the spaced pair of inner races; wherein in a first selectable actuator cam position, rotation of the inner races in one rotational direction causes a first of the pairs of opposed pawls to be urged into a notch of the outer race, and to engage a cog thereof, and to thereby lock the inner and outer races together, while rotation of the inner races in an opposite rotational direction causes the second of the pairs of opposed pawls to permit freewheeling of the inner race relative to the outer race; wherein in the second selectable actuator cam position, rotation of the inner race in either rotational direction causes the pawls to lock the inner race to the outer race; and characterized in that at a specific rotational speed, each pawl of each of the opposed pairs of pawls (30A, 30B) are adapted to centrifugally disengage from any contact with the actuator cam and with the outer race to reduce parasitic drag within the clutch module.
