Electromagnetically shiftable positive engagement clutch

An electromagnetically shiftable positive engagement clutch, comprising:

• a shifting sleeve which is arranged on a shaft for joint rotation therewith and is linearly displaceable along the shaft between a clutch engagement position and a clutch disengagement position;
• at least one clutch body which is aligned coaxially with the shaft;
• a stator having at least one energizable drive coil for adjustment of the shifting sleeve along the shaft,
• wherein in the clutch engagement position there is a positive engagement between the shifting sleeve and the clutch body and thus a rotary connection between the shaft and the clutch body, and
• a stationary sensor device which is arranged adjacent to the shifting sleeve and comprises at least one Hall sensor and at least two magnets that magnetically enclose the at least one Hall sensor and are permanently stationary relative to the at least one Hall sensor, the magnets pointing toward the shifting sleeve and having opposite polarities relative to each other, and
• wherein the sensor device is arranged next to a face side of the shifting sleeve in an axial direction, forming an axial gap between the sensor device and the face side, the at least one Hall sensor being adapted to detect the gap width in the axial direction.
