Electronic devices, such as consumer electronics devices and control systems in vehicles are controlled by way of a haptic operating device with a rotating unit. Selectable menu items are displayed on a display unit, and a menu item is selected by rotating the rotating unit. The rotating unit latches at a number of haptically perceptible latching points during rotation. The number and rotational position of the haptically perceptible latching points is dynamically changed in accordance with a specific menu item selected by the user.

An asymmetric bearing device automatically decreases, without the need for manual adjustment, an amount of friction exerted against rotation of a drum or other mechanism upon reversal of the direction of rotation of the drum.

The motor with deceleration mechanism includes: a motor shaft (11), which is accommodated in a motor case (21) and in which an axial end portion (11a) is formed into a spherical shape; a worm, arranged on the motor shaft (11); a worm wheel, accommodated in a gear frame and engaging with the worm; a radial bearing (41), rotatably supporting the motor shaft (11); and a first thrust bearing (42), which is disposed inside the motor case (21), and in which a shaft facing surface (42s) facing the axial end portion (11a) of the motor shaft (11) and a counter shaft facing surface (42c) on the opposite side are respectively formed spherically; an average sliding radius between the first thrust bearing (42) and the motor case (21) is larger than an average sliding radius between the first thrust bearing (42) and the motor shaft (11).

A supporting stand for supporting a panel is provided. The supporting stand comprises a base, a first force module, a one-way bearing, a rotating element, and a second force module. The base includes a bottom board and a first connecting board. The first force module is disposed on the first connecting board and includes a mandrel. The one-way bearing includes a shaft hole for the mandrel disposed therethrough. The rotating element connects with the one-way bearing and the panel so that the panel is capable of rotating at the mandrel along a first rotating direction or a second rotating direction opposite to the first rotating direction. The second force module is disposed on the base and actuated together with the rotating element. When the panel and the rotating element rotate along the first rotating direction, the one-way bearing refrains the first force module from providing a first backward torque to the rotating element.

An object of the present invention is to provide a unidirectional rotating motor, which can avoid reverse rotation of the motor due to heavy loads. The present invention employs the following technical solution. A unidirectional rotating motor is provided, comprising an output shaft; one end of the output shaft is, as an output end, extended to an outer side of the motor, and the other end of the output shaft is, as a fitting end, provided with a unidirectional bearing; an inner ring of the unidirectional bearing is linked to the fitting end of the output shaft and an outer ring of the unidirectional bearing is fitted with a first bushing and a second bushing; the first bushing consists of a first bushing segment I and a first bushing segment II, and the first bushing segment I has an inner diameter greater than that of the first bushing segment II; the second bushing at least consists of a second bushing segment I and a second bushing segment II, and the second bushing segment I has an inner diameter greater than that of the second bushing segment II; the first bushing and the second bushing are detachably fixed; and an outer bearing is fixed on an outer side of the second bushing, and an inner ring of the outer bearing is fixed to the second bushing.

A supporting stand for supporting a panel is provided. The supporting stand comprises a base, a one-way damper, a force module, and a rotating element. The one-way damper is disposed on the first connecting board. The force module is disposed on the base and including a mandrel. The rotating element is connected to the panel, the one-way damper, and the force module, and is actuated together with the one-way damper and the force module so that the panel is capable of rotating around the mandrel in a first rotating direction or a second rotating direction. When the rotating element rotates in the first rotating direction, the one-way damper provides a first backward torque to the rotating element; when the rotating element rotates in the second rotating direction, the one-way damper do not provide torque to the rotating element but the force module provides a second forward torque when the rotating element rotates in the second rotating direction.

Selectable menu items are displayed on a display unit, and a menu item is selected by rotating the rotating unit. The rotating unit latches at a number of haptically perceptible latching points during rotation. The number and rotational position of the haptically perceptible latching points is dynamically changed in accordance with a specific menu item selected by the user.

An outer ring assembly adapted for a one way clutch bearing assembly is provided. The outer ring assembly includes two separately formed rings. A first outer ring includes a groove adapted to receive a plurality of locking wedges, and a second outer ring includes an outer race adapted to support a plurality of rolling elements. The outer ring assembly is installed with a one way clutch bearing assembly including an inner ring defining both an inner race adapted to support rolling elements, and a plurality of ramps axially spaced from the inner race.

An internal combustion engine includes: a crankshaft supported via a bearing; a balancer drive gear ; a balancer shaft; and a one-way clutch mechanism that transmits to the crankshaft a drive force to start the internal combustion engine. In the internal combustion engine, the bearing includes an oil seal built therein, the oil seal sealing a crank chamber of the crankcase. The one-way clutch mechanism includes a case fixed to the crankshaft and a starter driven gear provided relatively rotatably with respect to the case and driven by the drive force. The starter driven gear includes a thrust bearing portion that abuts on the balancer drive gear in an axial direction of the crankshaft.

The present invention relates to a transmission input shaft arrangement (100) for a vehicle transmission, the transmission input shaft arrangement comprising an input shaft (102); a clutch arrangement (104) and a bearing arrangement (106) arranged at a position spaced apart from the clutch arrangement (104). The bearing arrangement (106) comprises a bearing inner ring (108) rotationally connected to the clutch arrangement (104).
