Twin hydraulic piston for a selectable clutch module

A twin actuating mechanism for a selectable clutch having a plurality of operational modes, the twin actuating mechanism comprising:

• a first actuator including a first actuator housing, the first actuator housing defining a first actuator chamber;
• a second actuator including a second actuator housing, the second actuator housing defining a second actuator chamber;
• a first actuator piston disposed within the first actuator chamber, the first actuator piston slidably engaged with a first lateral sidewall and a second lateral sidewall of the first actuator housing such that the first actuator piston is configured to move along the first and second lateral sidewalls between at least a first actuator piston first position and a first actuator piston second position;
• a second actuator piston disposed within the second actuator chamber, the second actuator piston slidably engaged with a first lateral sidewall and a second lateral sidewall of the second actuator housing such that the second actuator piston is configured to move along the first and second lateral sidewalls between at least a second actuator piston first position and a second actuator piston second position;
• a first actuator spring operably coupled with the first actuator piston, the first actuator spring disposed between a first actuator housing first axial end and a first actuator piston first surface;
• a second actuator spring operably coupled with the second actuator piston, the first actuator spring disposed between a second actuator housing first axial end and a second actuator piston first surface;
• a first armature fixedly attached to the first actuator piston first surface such that the first armature is configured to respond to a movement of the first actuator piston;
• a second armature fixedly attached to the second actuator piston first surface such that the second armature is configured to respond to a movement of the second actuator piston;
• a first actuator housing opening extending from a first actuator housing exterior surface into the first actuator chamber, the first actuator housing opening positioned adjacent to a first actuator housing second axial end, and the first actuator housing opening configured to fluidly connect a pressure source with the first actuator chamber;
• a second actuator housing opening extending from a second actuator housing exterior surface into the second actuator chamber, the second actuator housing opening positioned adjacent to a second actuator housing second axial end, and the second actuator housing opening configured to fluidly connect the pressure source with the second actuator chamber;
• and
• wherein a pressure is selectively supplied by the pressure source to at least one of the first actuator opening and the second actuator opening, and the pressure configured to act upon at least one of the first actuator piston and the second actuator piston to actuate the selectable clutch between the plurality of operational modes.
