Rotary to linear torque transmission device

A torque transmission device has a pinion that includes a plurality of rollers that mesh with a plurality of teeth of an output. Each roller is supported by a bearing having rotating bearing elements. A clearance compensation for the diametrical difference between a diameter of each roller and an inscribed diameter of the associated rotating bearing elements is included in the plurality of teeth of the output such that there is no interference between the plurality of rollers and the plurality of teeth.

FLEXURE BASED PRELOAD MECHANISM
20220356903 · 2022-11-10 ·

A preloading mechanism including: a first part having a protrusion; and a second part having a recess that matches the protrusion; wherein the recess includes a gib that is flexibly movable via a flexure; wherein a dimension of the recess varies based on a flexing of the gib; when the gib is in a neutral state, the dimension of the recess is smaller than a corresponding dimension of the protrusion; when the gib is in a flexed state, the dimension of the recess is larger than the corresponding dimension of the protrusion; and when the protrusion is inserted into the recess, the gib is in an interfering state, providing a preload force for eliminating a clearance between a surface of the protrusion and a corresponding surface of the recess, wherein the flexing of gib in the interfering state is between those of the neutral state and flexed state.

Clamp slide for linear guide

A clamp slide for use in a linear guide includes a slide body, two piston units disposed in the slide body, two elastic members stopped against the piston units, and two fluid pressure cylinders pushing the piston units to move toward a direction against restoring forces exerted by the elastic members. Further, a moveable member is disposed in each of the piston units and pushed by an inclined plane of a lateral cover to push a braking member, such that a rail is clamped by the left and right braking members. The lateral cover can be assembled in different ways according to actual needs for enabling the inclined plane to perform opposite tilt direction. As such, the clamp slide of the present invention has the effects of simplifying structure and reducing cost.

Cable driven sliding center console

Center console provided with a fixed rail, extending in a longitudinal direction, a translatable member, a gearbox assembly and first and second cables. The translatable member may be coupled to the fixed rail and configured to move between a first position and a second position. The gearbox assembly may include a cable drum configured to rotate in a first rotational direction and a second rotational direction. The first and second cables may each be coupled to the translatable member and a cable drum. As the cable drum rotates in the first rotational direction, the first cable may translate the translatable member towards the first position. As the cable drum rotates in the second rotational direction, the second cable may translate the translatable member towards the second position.
