The manual assembly of MDs is much easier than the assembly of a typical sprag cage, about the same difficulty as the assembly of a roller ramp clutch. This is based on the number of components as well as complexity. Automated assembly has been investigated with various assembly equipment suppliers and the difficulty relative to other types of clutches is similar to the manual assembly comparison.
