An assembly having a clutch collar, a clutch collar, and a method of manufacturing a clutch collar. The clutch collar may have clutch collar teeth that are continuously curved in a direction that extends away from an axis. A dovetail profile may be provided with the clutch collar teeth.

A steering system includes: a steering shaft to which a steering member is coupled; a worm wheel attached to the steering shaft so as to be rotatable integrally with the steering shaft; a housing that houses the worm wheel; an output shaft that is coaxial with the steering shaft and rotatable relative to the steering shaft and coupled to a steering operation mechanism; and a clutch mechanism that enables and disables transmission of power between the steering shaft and the output shaft. The clutch mechanism is housed and disposed in an internal space in the housing. A solenoid in the clutch mechanism is disposed on the opposite side of the worm wheel in an axial direction from a mechanical portion of the clutch mechanism.

The invention relates to a coupling arrangement for a gearbox, comprising a coupling sleeve, which is axially displaceable between a first and second position, a first and second rotatable element, which are connectable and disconnectable to each other by means of the coupling sleeve, an electrical machine connected to one of the first and second rotatable element, and a position indicator device for detecting the angular position of a rotor of the electrical machine. The position indicator device also is arranged to detect the axial position of the coupling sleeve.

A transmission includes a first component and a second component which are journaled for rotation relative to each other, and a locking mechanism for rotationally locking the first component and the second component relative to each other in a predetermined mutual rotation position. The transmission includes a magnetic field sensor arranged for measuring a relative rotation position of the first component and the second component while the first component and the second component are rotating relative to each other.

A system for mechanically transmitting power from a common rotational drive shaft of a seeding implement to a geared outer periphery of a seed meter. The system includes a first transmission that connects to common rotational drive shaft, a flexible drive shaft coupled to the first transmission, and a second transmission coupled to the opposite end of the flexible drive shaft. A clutch assembly connects to a flexible drive shaft assembly to selectively allow power to be transmitted from the first transmission to the second transmission. The second transmission connects to the periphery of the seed meter. The seed plate of the seed meter includes a circumferential gear along a periphery to be driven by the second transmission.

A steering column assembly includes a steering shaft operatively coupled to a steering device, the steering shaft and the steering device having corresponding rotation with each other. Also included is an anti-rotation assembly selectively engaged with a surface of the steering shaft to maintain the steering shaft and the steering device in a stationary condition when the steering shaft is rotationally decoupled from road wheels operatively coupled to the steering shaft.

An insertion device includes a first rotating member, and a second rotating member coaxially arranged with a rotational axis of the first rotating member and rotating about the rotational axis to bend a bending section. The insertion device includes a moving member arranged inside the first rotating member and the second rotating member along the rotational axis and being movable between a state where an electrical driving force is transmitted to the second rotating member and a state where the electrical driving force is not transmitted to the second rotating member.
