It is not an electric motor. It is actually a line that pressurizes the Cup Spring and pushes it inboard toward the 8 pins, which in turn clamp down on the clutch pack. There is even a thrust washer between the Cup Spring and 8 pins to deal with the fact that the LSD assembly is spinning, but the Cup Spring is not.

By "in use" I mean that I found a reference to PTV+ that said it was new for the 991 Carrera but was previously employed on the previous (997.2) turbo models.

"Depending on the pressure applied in the pressure duct, the thrust washer is pressed onto the disk pack via 8 pressure pins and in this way achieve a locking value dependent on the pressure. This value is absolutely variable from 0 to 100%"

And

"An additional hydraulic control block is installed in the transmission for supplying oil pressure to the controlled rear differential lock..."

Furthermore, I have found reference to suggest that in addition to the 991 Carrera S PDK, this system is already in use on the turbo PDK vehicles.

So many questions! But I won't impose on you further, thanks for the follow-up.
