A sealed actuator with internal clutching for attachment to a vehicle component, comprising: an output shaft with an output gear and an output detent ring that are free to rotate about the output shaft, wherein the output gear is in mesh with the output detent ring; a moving detent ring slidably mounted on the output shaft and radially locked to the output shaft for rotation with the output shaft; wherein the output detent ring further comprises first intermeshing ramped teeth and the moving detent ring further comprises second intermeshing ramped teeth; a wave spring mounted on the output shaft providing a biasing force against the moving detent ring, wherein the first and second intermeshing ramped teeth (36, 38) are selectively held intermeshed by the biasing force of the wave spring, wherein during a predetermined high load the first and second intermeshing ramped teeth (36, 38) create an axial force that overcomes the load from the wave spring, which allows the moving detent ring to disengage and allow the output shaft to rotate freely for preventing damage to the sealed actuator with internal clutching; a housing portion that is fixed and sealed within which the output shaft is mounted; a main gear having selective torsional force transferring gear contact with the output gear; a motor having a worm gear providing selective torsional force transferring gear contact with the main gear; wherein when the moving detent ring and the output detent ring are intermeshed by the force of the wave spring, the output shaft is allowed to rotate, which allows torque transmission from the motor through the main gear and the output gear to the outside of the housing portion via the output shaft; and wherein the sealed actuator with internal clutching provides an output pass through drive arrangement allowing the sealed actuator with internal clutching to drive a shaft or an external moving part from either end or both ends. an output shaft with an output gear and an output detent ring that are free to rotate about the output shaft, wherein the output gear is in mesh with the output detent ring; a moving detent ring slidably mounted on the output shaft and radially locked to the output shaft for rotation with the output shaft; wherein the output detent ring further comprises first intermeshing ramped teeth and the moving detent ring further comprises second intermeshing ramped teeth; a wave spring mounted on the output shaft providing a biasing force against the moving detent ring, wherein the first and second intermeshing ramped teeth (36, 38) are selectively held intermeshed by the biasing force of the wave spring, wherein during a predetermined high load the first and second intermeshing ramped teeth (36, 38) create an axial force that overcomes the load from the wave spring, which allows the moving detent ring to disengage and allow the output shaft to rotate freely for preventing damage to the sealed actuator with internal clutching; a housing portion that is fixed and sealed within which the output shaft is mounted; a main gear having selective torsional force transferring gear contact with the output gear; a motor having a worm gear providing selective torsional force transferring gear contact with the main gear; wherein when the moving detent ring and the output detent ring are intermeshed by the force of the wave spring, the output shaft is allowed to rotate, which allows torque transmission from the motor through the main gear and the output gear to the outside of the housing portion via the output shaft; and wherein the sealed actuator with internal clutching provides an output pass through drive arrangement allowing the sealed actuator with internal clutching to drive a shaft or an external moving part from either end or both ends.
