A drivetrain for motor vehicle including an electric motor and a reduction mechanism designed to transmit the driving torque to the wheels of the motor vehicle. The electric motor includes a rotor equipped with a rotor shaft, the rotor shaft being rotationally coupled to a primary shaft of the reduction mechanism. The drivetrain further includes a dynamic absorber in torsion, the dynamic absorber in torsion having a support element, an inertial mass which is mounted with the ability to rotate about an axis X with respect to the support element and elastic members which oppose the relative rotation of the inertial mass with respect to the support element about said axis X.

An apparatus may have a casing defining an inner cavity delimited at least by a circumferential surface portion between a pair of lateral surface portions. A shaft passes through the inner cavity of the casing. A wiper arm rotates with the shaft, the wiper arm having a free end in close proximity to the surface portions of the inner cavity of the casing, the free end of the wiper arm having a contour complementarily corresponding to a profile of the circumferential surface portion of the inner cavity. A dam divides the inner cavity in chambers adapted to accommodate a fluid, with movements of the wiper arm changing the volume of the chambers, whereby the apparatus is configured to allow the fluid to flow between the chambers to oppose the force to the given motions. A cover plate(s) is connected to a lateral side of the casing and defining at least one outer chamber around the at least one end of the shaft and exteriorly of the inner cavity.

A damper assembly includes a housing defining at least one or more cavities. A piston is in operable communication with the housing. A rod end is operatively coupled to the piston, the rod end having at least two cartridges.

The invention relates to a method for actively balancing a rotor (1), comprising: providing a device with a rotor (1) that can be rotated around an axis of rotation and a mechanism (2) allocated to the rotor (1) for actively balancing, in which a magnetic fluid (7) is received in a fluid chamber (6) formed on the rotor (1), which partially fills the fluid chamber (6) and contains at least one of the following fluids: ferrofluid and magnetorheological fluid; holding the magnetic fluid (7) by means of a permanent magnetic field of a permanent magnet (5) arranged on the rotor (1) in an initial position in the fluid chamber (6); rotating the rotor (1) around the axis of rotation (3), and passing the fluid chamber (6) and permanent magnet (5) by an electrical exciter system with a fixedly arranged electromagnet (8) during the rotation of the rotor (1), wherein the permanent magnetic field of the permanent magnet (5) and an electromagnetic field of the electromagnet (8) here overlap in an activated state for active balancing purposes, so that the magnetic fluid (7) in the fluid chamber (6) performs a mass displacement proceeding from the initial position. Also created is a device with a rotor (1) and a mechanism (2) allocated to the rotor (1) for actively balancing the rotor (1).

A reaction compensation device includes a drive mechanism driving a first movable part with respect to a base, a reaction mass drive mechanism driving a second movable part with respect to the base; and a first relative position sensor measuring a relative position between the first movable part and the base. There is also a second relative position sensor measuring a relative position between the second movable part and the base, a first control system controlling the drive mechanism by taking in a signal outputted from the first relative position sensor as a feedback signal in response to a command value, and a second control system correcting the command value using a correction parameter for adjusting a difference between mass properties of the drive mechanism and reaction mass drive mechanism and for controlling the reaction mass drive mechanism.

A rotary damper assembly comprises a housing extending along a center axis. The housing includes an upper portion and a lower portion. The lower portion defines a fluid chamber. The upper portion defines a compartment in communication with the fluid chamber. The magnetic field generator includes a magnetic core located between the upper portion and the lower portion. The magnetic core extends along the center axis between the upper portion and the lower portion. At least one coil extends about the magnetic core. A shaft extends along the center axis through the upper portion and the magnetic core and into the fluid chamber to facilitate magnetorheological fluid flow from the compartment to the fluid chamber. The magnetic field generator includes an insert, containing a permanent magnetic material, for generating a permanent magnetic field to change viscosity of the magnetorheological fluid.

Provided are a one-way clutch and a rotary damper device equipped with the one-way clutch, in which size reduction can be achieved. A claw of a slide member has a retreat surface that abuts against an internal tooth of an outer member when the outer member turns toward one side with respect to an inner member and an engagement surface that abuts against the internal tooth when the outer member turns toward the other side with respect to the inner member. When the internal tooth and the retreat surface abut against each other, the slide member slides in a sliding direction, thus causing the claw to retreat from the internal tooth, and the outer member turns independently of the inner member. When the internal tooth and the engagement surface abut against each other, the internal tooth and the engagement surface are engaged, and the outer member and the inner member integrally turn.

A shimmy damper for centering a landing gear includes a cap and a housing. The shimmy damper further includes a damper shaft extending from the cap to the housing. The shimmy damper further includes a plurality of magnets configured to exert an opposing force on the cap and the housing via the damper shaft, providing a centering mechanism of the damper shaft within the housing. This centering action in turn provides for the centering of the landing gear during flight.

A rotation device capable of improving safety includes a plurality of screw holes that each extend along the radial direction of a rotation member and each has an opening on a surface of the rotation member; and a stopper for preventing a screw disposed inside the screw hole from protruding to the outside of the opening, without interfering with insertion of a tool, for turning the screw, into the screw hole.

A rotor assembly for a hybrid module includes a rotor carrier, a rotor segment, an end ring, a first spacer, a second spacer, and a compressed spring. The rotor carrier includes a first outer cylindrical surface and a radial surface, and the rotor segment is installed on the first outer cylindrical surface. The end ring is fixed to the rotor carrier and arranged for fixing to an engine flexplate. The first spacer is disposed axially between the rotor segment and the radial surface, and the second spacer is disposed axially between the rotor segment and the end ring. The compressed spring is disposed axially between the end ring and the second spacer to press the first spacer, the second spacer, and the rotor segment against the radial surface for frictional torque transmission between the rotor segment and the rotor carrier.
