A transmission system for an aircraft powerplant includes a transmission shaft is provided. An input end of the transmission shaft is sleeved with a driven gear, one end of the driven gear is axially limited, and the other end of the transmission shaft is configured to connect a rotating member; and an end of the driven gear is in transmission connection with a stop hub, the stop hub is in transmission connection with an overload clutch, the overload clutch is in transmission connection with the transmission shaft, an end of the overload clutch away from the stop hub abuts against one end of a disc spring member, the other end of the disc spring member is axially limited, and a force value of the overload clutch is a fixed value.

A driving force transmission mechanism includes a first transmission member and a second transmission member that are arranged on an identical rotational center axis. The first transmission member includes one or more transmission claws engaged with the second transmission member. The transmission claw includes, at a position away from the rotational center axis, a fixing portion with respect to the first transmission member, and extends in a direction crossing a direction directed from the fixing portion to the rotational center axis. The second transmission member includes one or more stoppers engaged with a tip end of the transmission claw and one or more holding portions engaged with a side of the transmission claw, which faces the rotational center axis.

A sealed actuator with internal clutching assembly including an output shaft, output detent ring, moving detent ring, and a wave spring, which is fit inside a sealed housing. The moving detent ring is able to move axially to the output shaft and the output detent ring is able to rotate on the output shaft. Intermeshing ramped teeth of these rings are held together by a wave spring and allow the output shaft to rotate and transmit torque of a motor through a main gear operably coupled to an output gear mounted on the output shaft to the outside of the housing. During predetermined high loads, the output and moving detent rings ramped teeth create an axial force that overcomes the load from the wave spring, which allows moving detent ring to disengage and output shaft to rotate freely to help prevent damage to the actuator.

A torque limiter assembly is disclosed comprising a housing having at least one first engagement member, an input shaft that is rotatable relative to the housing and having at least one second engagement member; and an electromagnet. The electromagnet 10 is arranged and configured such that when activated it generates a magnetic field that moves the at least one first engagement member relative to the at least one second engagement member, such that the first and second engagement members engage each other and stop or inhibit rotation of the input shaft relative to the housing.

A torque limiter includes a first meshing portion provided at a surface of an input shaft which transmits a drive force of a drive motor, the surface intersecting with an axial direction of the input shaft, and a disc spring portion including a second meshing portion arranged facing the first meshing portion in the axial direction and which is configured to mesh with the first meshing portion. The disc spring portion is integrally rotatable with an output shaft which is provided coaxially with the input shaft and which is rotatable relative to the input shaft, and is deflected to displace the second meshing portion in a direction opposite to the first meshing portion in a case where a load equal to or greater than a set value is applied to the disc spring portion while the second meshing portion is being biased towards the first meshing portion.

A transaxle according to the present application may include: a transaxle case; an input member supported within the transaxle case; a gear drivingly connected to the input member within the transaxle case; an output member which is supported within the transaxle case and arranged at the inner peripheral side of the gear concentrically with the gear; a cage with a roller as a bidirectional overrunning clutch interposed between the inner periphery of the gear and the outer periphery of the output member within the transaxle case; and a drag mechanism provided within the transaxle case to apply rotational resistance to the cage to make the bidirectional overrunning clutch be engaged. The cage has a first end and a second end, which oppose each other in an axial direction of the output member. The first end of the cage is close to a first bearing which pivotally supports the output member to the transaxle case. The drag mechanism has a rotation member which is locked to the cage at the first end of the cage so as to be relatively non-rotatable, and a spring member for applying the rotational resistance to the rotation member.

A torque limiter includes a first meshing portion provided at a surface of an input shaft, a plate including a second meshing portion which is configured to mesh with the first meshing portion, and a disc spring portion integrally rotatable with an output shaft. The disc spring portion includes an engaging portion engaging with the plate. The disc spring portion is deflected to displace the engaging portion in a direction opposite to the plate in a case where a load equal to or greater than a set value is applied to the disc spring portion while pressing the plate via the engaging portion so as to bias the second meshing portion towards the first meshing portion.

A charging mechanism for charging a stored-energy spring of a stored-energy spring mechanism includes a charging gear coupled to the stored-energy spring, an intermediate shaft coupled to the charging gear, an idler gear that can be driven by a charging motor, a freewheel coupled to the idler gear, and a dog clutch that couples the freewheel to the intermediate shaft in order to charge the stored-energy spring and uncouples same from the intermediate shaft in the charged state of the stored-energy spring. The dog clutch has a first clutch block coupled to the intermediate shaft for conjoint rotation, and a second clutch block connected to the freewheel. The first clutch block can be displaced along an axis of rotation of the intermediate shaft between two end positions and, in an intermediate position between the end positions can be freely rotated only in a direction of rotation with respect to the second clutch block.

A handle connectable to a screw-type mechanical drive component for transmitting to the latter a first torque comprises first connection means, defining a constraint axis, for the connection of the handle to the mechanical drive component, a ring nut to which a second torque is manually applicable, support means of the ring nut for rotatably supporting the latter around an axis of rotation coinciding, in use, with the constraint axis, second means for connecting the ring nut to the support means, for connecting/disconnecting the ring nut and the support means in a mechanical and selective way, so that the ring nut is kinematically connected to the support means when rotated around the axis of rotation with a second torque lower than a threshold value and kinematically disconnected from the same upon exceeding such a threshold value.

Torque limiting connectors are described herein. A torque limiting connector includes an outer connector, and inner connector, and a clutch. The outer connector includes a profile disposed on an inner surface of the outer connector. The inner connector may be disposed within the outer connector and can include an upper threaded portion and a lower threaded portion. The clutch can be disposed around and rotationally coupled to the inner connector and can include a plurality of clutch teeth extending from an outer surface of the clutch, wherein the plurality of clutch teeth are outwardly biased to be releasably engaged with the profile of the outer connector. The plurality of clutch teeth can be configured to transfer torque from the outer connector to the inner connector when the torque is below a torque limit, and prevent transfer of torque when the torque exceeds the torque limit.
