Patent attributes
In at least some implementations, a system for a vehicle differential that has multiple gears may include a coil, a drive member movable in response to a magnetic field generated by application of electricity to the coil and a lock member driven by the drive member to selectively engage a gear of the differential. The drive member is movable between a first position and a second position, has an axis and includes a first body formed at least partially from a first material that is magnetically responsive and a second body formed at least partially from a second material. The first body and second body are coupled together and overlapped in two opposing axial directions to limit or prevent relative axial movement between the first body and the second body.
