An intermittent drive system (22) includes a rotatable output component (32), a rotating input component (28) with a driving engagement element (72), a synchronizing ring (82) and a decoupling ring (96). The synchronizing ring (82) is coupled to the output element (32) to rotate therewith. The synchronizing ring (82) has a driven engagement element (92) configured to selectively engage with the driving engagement element (72). The synchronizing ring (82) has an alignment feature (134) configured to rotationally align the driving engagement element (72) with the driven engagement element (92) and has a decoupling feature (112) configured to selectively disengage the driving engagement element (72) from the driven engagement element (92). The decoupling ring (96) is selectively coupled to the input component (28) and has a decoupling feature (110) configured to selectively engage the decoupling feature (112) of the synchronizing ring (82). The driving engagement element (72) engages the driven engagement element (92) only when both the alignment feature (134) is rotationally oriented to align the driving engagement element (72) with the driven engagement element (92) and the decoupling features (110, 112) are rotationally oriented to allow the driving engagement element (72) to engage the driven engagement element (92).
