A shock strut assembly for a landing gear may comprise a strut cylinder, a strut piston configured to telescope relative to the strut cylinder, and a locking system. The locking system may be configured to restrict rotation of the strut piston relative to the strut cylinder in response to compression of the shock strut assembly.

IMPROVED FILTERING PULLEY

A filtering pulley has a hub configured to be fixed to a shaft for rotation thereabout, a crown mounted coaxial and rotationally free on the hub, and a plurality of elastic groups arranged circumferentially with respect to the hub and to the crown and interposed, each, between a pair of first elements integral with the hub and between a pair of second elements integral with the crown. The first elements have at least two spokes, carried by an actuator that is made of two portions that are selectively geared between them to selectively connect the crown to the hub.

IMPROVED FILTERING PULLEY, SYSTEM COMPRISING SUCH PULLEY AND RELATED CONTROL METHOD

A filtering pulley has a hub configured to be fixed to a shaft for rotation thereabout, a crown mounted coaxial and rotationally free on the hub, and a plurality of elastic groups arranged circumferentially with respect to the hub and to the crown and interposed, each, between a pair of first elements integral with the hub and between a pair of second elements integral with the crown. The first elements have at least two spokes, carried by an actuator that is made of two portions that can be selectively coupled based on angular position data between the crown and the hub and/or based on data of torque transmitted between the different elements of the system comprising this pulley.

Systems for damping a solar photovoltaic array tracker

Solar tracker systems include a torque tube, a solar panel attached to the torque tube, and a damper assembly. The damper assembly includes an outer shell, a first chamber wall and a second chamber wall within the outer shell at least partially defining a chamber, and a piston to direct fluid through the chamber. A valve is within the chamber that includes a first axial end, a second axial end, and a seal positioned on the first axial end. The damper assembly further includes a biasing assembly that biases the valve into a first position within the chamber in which the seal is spaced from the first chamber wall. The valve is moveable within the chamber from the first position to a second position in which the seal contacts and seals against the first chamber wall to prevent the flow of fluid through the chamber.

Air spring

The invention relates to an air spring having: a rolling bellows (1) with an opening which has a bead (2) reinforced by a core (3) and a rolling piston (4) with a seat (5) for the rolling bellows (1) and a support shoulder (7) for the rolling bellows (1),
wherein when the rolling bellows (1) is in the mounted state, its end assigned to the rolling piston (4) is connected to the rolling piston (4) in an airtight manner by a clamping fit between the bead (2) and the seat (5) of the rolling piston (4), and the bead (2) of the rolling bellows (1) rests at least partly on the support shoulder (7), wherein the rolling piston (4) is made of a thermoplastic material. The object of the invention is to improve an air spring of the type outlined above such that the bellows (1) can very reliably and simply be prevented from slipping off the piston (4), in particular in view of the use of plastic as the piston material. This is achieved in that on the seat (5) for the rolling bellows (1), the rolling piston (4) has an axially protruding, substantially cylindrical securing ring (8), which protrudes axially beyond the bead (2) of the rolling bellows (1) after mounting of the rolling bellows (1) on the seat (5), can be plasticized by an at least partial heating process, and in the plasticized state can be deformed radially outwardly over the bead (2) of the rolling bellows (1) by a forming die (9, 10, 11) such that the bead (2) is at least partly surrounded by the deformed securing ring (8).

SHOCK ABSORBER

A flywheel for example to a sport training or a rehabilitation machine, is linked to a hauling cable through a system of pulleys, including, in a well-known way, at least a disk-shaped part (4) rotating about a central axis (5) and incorporates a series of weights (6) that, depending on their distribution and their own weight provide a given moment of inertia. Starting from this already known configuration, the flywheel (1) is distinguished in that it has a moving coupling means (7) that allows the variation of the position of the weights (6) on the disk (4) of the wheel and to modify the moment of inertia, without it being necessary to withdraw or replace any of the weights (6) or the disk (4).
