Patent ID: 8888619

Claim:
A method for producing an over-running decoupler that is configured to transmit rotary power between a rotary member and a hub, comprising: providing a one-way clutch having a wrap spring, and a carrier that is coupled to the wrap spring; providing at least one isolation spring that resiliently couples the carrier to the hub; controlling a maximum deflection of the at least one isolation spring, wherein below the maximum deflection during relative rotation is a first direction between the rotary member and the hub, the one-way clutch couples the rotary member and the hub, and wherein upon reaching the maximum deflection during relative rotation in the first direction an end of the wrap spring engages a limit surface on one of the rotary member and the hub to prevent radial expansion of the wrap spring clutch to limit torque transfer between the rotary member and the hub, and wherein during relative rotation in a second direction between the rotary member and the hub, the one-way clutch decouples the rotary member and the hub.
