Adjustable Stroke Device With Cam
20240384779 · 2024-11-21 ·

An adjustable stroke device for a random orbital machine has a housing with a central axis and a wall defining a cavity. At least one counterweight is movably disposed at least partially within the cavity. A mounting assembly is disposed at least partially within the cavity. The mounting assembly has a workpiece attachment mechanism. A stroke adjuster couples the at least one counterweight with the mounting assembly. The stroke adjuster enables the at least one counterweight and mounting assembly to move with respect to one another such that a distance between the at least one counterweight and the mounting assembly may be variably adjusted which, in turn, variably adjust a stroke radius of the workpiece attachment mechanism with respect to the central axis of the housing. The stroke adjuster has an adjuster ring and a cam mechanism secured with the adjuster ring.

Actuator including handling-proof position feedback mechanism

An actuator includes a housing assembly, an actuator shaft, an actuation member, and an anti-rotation rod. The actuator shaft is rotationally mounted in the housing assembly, is adapted to receive a drive torque, and is configured, upon receipt of the drive torque, to rotate. The actuation member is mounted on the actuator shaft, and is configured to translate in response to rotation of the actuator shaft. The anti-rotation rod is coupled to the actuator housing and extends therefrom. The anti-rotation is rod configured to at least selectively engage, and thereby prevent rotation of, the actuation member.

Multi-function seat actuator

A seat actuation control system is disclosed. The seat actuation control system may permit multiple functions to be controlled by a single actuator. For example, a seat floor tracking function, and a seat pan track and swivel function may be individually controlled by a single actuator, such as a rotary actuator.
