An actuator provided with a motor for moving an output arrangement, the actuator including both an output lever and a fusible connection that acts up to a mechanical torque threshold to constrain the output arrangement and the output lever to move together in rotation about an axis of rotation. The actuator also includes a fluid damper device housed between the output lever and the output arrangement to act, following rupture of the fusible connection, to damp movement of the output lever relative to the output arrangement in rotation about the axis of rotation.

A flywheel configured to couple to a manual transmission to an unrelated vehicle engine. Also disclosed is a method for retrofitting a manual transmission with an unrelated vehicle engine. Also provided is a flywheel comprising a removable friction region and/or a removable gear portion.

A shaft vibration absorber for absorbing vibrations of a shaft includes an elastomer body that is reached through by a central longitudinal centre axis. In embodiments, the elastomer body includes holding geometries that protrude in the radial direction and extend in the longitudinal direction for pressing the shaft vibration absorber to the shaft. The holding geometries may be arranged in each case in two first angle windows that lie opposite one another with regard to the longitudinal centre axis with a width of in each case at most 90°. With embodiments, the shaft vibration absorber can configure a radial pressing force of the shaft along a first tuning axis that runs in the radial direction, and the radial pressing force may be greater than a pressing force in a spatial direction that differs therefrom and runs in the radial direction.

A damper device includes first and second rotors, a first pre-damper, and a first main elastic member. The second rotor includes a hub and a flange. The first pre-damper elastically couples the hub and the flange in a rotational direction, and is actuated in a first range of torsion angle between the first and second rotors. The first main elastic member elastically couples the first and second rotors in the rotational direction, and is actuated in a greater second range of torsion angle. The first pre-damper includes first and second subordinate elastic members. The first subordinate elastic member is compressed in a neutral state, and urges the flange to a first side in the rotational direction with respect to the hub. The second subordinate elastic member is compressed in the neutral state, and urges the flange to a second side in the rotational direction with respect to the hub.

Provided is a rotary damper having a first valve provided in a first oil passage, the rotary damper including an oil chamber filled with oil; a vane located in the oil chamber; a groove which is formed in the vane and functions as a valve box of the first valve; a valve body of the first valve which moves while being in contact with a bottom surface of the groove; and an elastic body which applies elasticity to the valve body, and causes the valve body to come into contact with a wall surface of the oil chamber when the oil does not flow, in which the bottom surface of the groove is a slope, and thereby the valve body which is in contact with the wall surface when receiving oil pressure from one direction moves away from the wall surface when receiving the oil pressure from an opposite direction.

A vibration isolating coupler including a first coupler portion, a second coupler portion including an external surface and an internal surface portion, and a vibration isolating portion extending between the first coupler portion and the second coupler portion. The vibration isolating portion including a first solid annular portion and a second solid annular portion. The vibration isolating portion including a plurality of slots extending from the first solid annular portion toward the second solid annular portion forming a plurality of vibration isolating elements. Each of the plurality of vibration isolating elements is disconnected from adjacent ones of the plurality of vibration isolating elements by a corresponding one of the plurality of slots. The plurality of vibration isolating elements enabling torsional rotation of the first coupler portion relative to the second coupler portion.

A torsional vibration damper with a housing defining an annular space. A cover is mounted on the housing. The cover and the housing define an annular working chamber. A first mass inertia ring is disposed inside and configured to rotated relative to the annular working chamber. A second mass inertia ring is disposed inside the annular working chamber. The second inertia mass ring is configured to rotate inside the annular working chamber independently with respect to the first inertia mass ring. A viscous damping media is disposed inside the annular working chamber. A hub is configured to extend from the housing in an axial direction. The hub is configured for attaching the damper to a crankshaft

A power transmission system is provided, which includes a biasing member configured to bias a second power-transmission member in a rotational direction with respect to a first power-transmission member by a spline part of the biasing member being engaged with a spline part of the second power-transmission member while the biasing member is locked by the first power-transmission member and a spring part thereof is in a first elastically displaced state, and a temporarily fixing member having a temporarily fixing part which temporarily fixes the biasing member to the first power-transmission member in a second elastically displaced state with greater elastic displacement than in the first state. The second power-transmission member is provided, on a first axial side of the spline part, with a canceling part configured to cancel the temporary fixing of the biasing member to the first power-transmission member by the temporarily fixing part.

Disclosed is a hydraulic damping device level riding platform with adjustable resistance, which comprises a frame body, a shaft mechanism, a flywheel and a hydraulic damping mechanism, the shaft mechanism is arranged on the frame body, one end of the shaft mechanism is connected with the hydraulic damping mechanism and another end of the shaft mechanism is connected with the flywheel. The hydraulic damping mechanism comprises: a cavity; a rotating disc provided with blades, the rotating disc is arranged in the cavity; and a liquid level height adjusting mechanism movably connected inside the cavity to control a liquid level height in the cavity. The liquid level height of the liquid in the cavity is controlled through the liquid level height adjustment mechanism, so as to realize the control of the resistance of the rotating disc to the liquid.

A spring-loaded ball valve includes a spring, a first pin, a second pin, and a handle. The spring is configured to apply pressure to the first pin and second pin when the ball valve is in both the fully open and fully closed positions. The spring applies maximum torque when the ball valve is in the fully open or fully closed position to ensure the valve remains in the fully open or fully closed position.
