A contact guard for a belt drive, in which a filling space formed between two pulleys and the belt is filled by a filling body, which includes two sub-bodies that can be moved relative to one another.

A power unit includes a drive unit and a power sprocket for engaging the transmission band of a bicycle. The power unit includes a first free-wheeling sprocket arranged on a first side of the power sprocket and a second free-wheeling sprocket arranged on a second side of the power sprocket. The power sprocket receives the transmission band from the first free-wheeling sprocket on the first side and passes the transmission band to the second free-wheeling sprocket.

A slide rail for a belt-drive transmission includes a slide channel and a pivoting receptacle. The slide channel includes a first slide surface for damping contact on a strand of a belt of the belt-drive transmission, a second slide surface for damping contact on the strand, antagonistic to the first slide surface, and a channel height formed by the first slide surface and the second slide surface. The pivoting receptacle is arranged for pivoting support of the slide rail on a pivoting means of the belt-drive transmission. A one of the first slide surface or the second slide surface includes an elevation extending toward the belt such that the one of the first slide surface or the second slide surface is displaced over a profile along a longitudinal direction in a transversal direction.

A pulley assembly for a steering assembly includes a motor disposed within a motor housing and having a motor shaft extending therefrom. The pulley assembly also includes a motor face plate having a motor pilot component extending therefrom in the same direction as the motor shaft extends away from the motor, the motor shaft extending through a hole in the motor face plate. The pulley assembly further includes an idler pulley post protruding from the motor housing and through the motor face plate in the substantially same axial direction of the motor shaft, the idler pulley post being radially offset from the motor shaft. The pulley assembly yet further includes a housing flange having a pilot bore to accommodate at least a portion of the motor pilot and the idler pulley post.

An isolator is provided for use with an engine and in particular an engine that is assisted or started by MGU (Motor-Generator Unit) or a motor through an endless drive member. It comprises a double acting spring system for isolating crankshaft pulley from torsion vibration at the crankshaft, and in extreme conditions, such as during engine startup and accelerations or decelerations of the engine crankshaft relative to the pulley and when isolator operates in an “engine-driven” mode with the engine crankshaft is driven by the belt.

An object is to provide a guide shoe having a simple structure and suppressing a significant shift in pitch line while reducing friction losses and preventing possible noise. In a guide shoe having a shoe surface on which a traveling chain is guided, the shoe surface includes a plate guide surface which is formed on an upstream side of the shoe surface in a shoe longitudinal direction and on which only chain plates are slidably guided, a guiding protruding portion which is formed on a downstream side of the plate guide surface and on which only a chain roller or a chain bush is guided, and a continuously transitioning protruding portion that smoothly connects the plate guide surface and the guiding protruding surface together. Plate escaping portions are formed on opposite sides across the guiding protruding portion in a shoe width direction to avoid contact with the chain plates.
