A rotary device is disclosed. The rotary device includes a first rotor, a centrifugal element, and a tilt preventing mechanism. The first rotor is disposed to be rotatable. The centrifugal element is supported to be axially movable with respect to the first rotor. The tilt preventing mechanism prevents the centrifugal element from tilting.

A roller tappet for a fuel pump includes an integral and hollow-walled guide housing, which has a drive-side edge that encloses a roller mounted on a pin. The ends of the pin are seated in openings in arranged in indented flat surfaces that originate from the drive-side edge and are diametrically opposite each other. An output-side edge of the guide housing has a bridge piece that extends continuously from an inner wall of the one of the flat surfaces to an inner wall of the other flat surface. The bridge piece projects beyond the inner wall towards the outer wall of the particular flat surface, and the output-side outer face of the bridge piece has a contact surface for a pump piston. The flat surfaces are completely continuous from the drive-side edge to the output-side edge of the guide housing.

An axle disconnect apparatus having a cam cylinder including a ramp disposed in a radially outer surface thereof. A first clutch element disposed at least partially inside the cam cylinder and an intermediate shaft disposed at least partially within the first clutch element. The intermediate shaft includes a splined portion in constant mesh with the first clutch element. A half shaft may be disposed coaxially with the intermediate shaft, and a second clutch element may be coupled with the half shaft. The first clutch element selectively engages the second clutch element. The axle disconnect apparatus further comprises a latching mechanism whereby the cam cylinder maintains an axial position. The latching mechanism including a radial depression in the cam cylinder ramp, and a cam follower selectively disposed at least partially in the radial depression.

The present disclosure relates to a gear box mechanism with a carrier for housing a plurality of gear blocks, a retainer cam, a cam shaft, and a plurality of cam followers. The gear blocks can interact with a ring gear allowing an output to be driven. The carrier can be housed within a first lid, and a second lid. The plurality of gear blocks can be driven by the cam shaft that has a plurality of cam pathways along an outer circumferential surface of the cam shaft. Additionally, the retainer cam has a retention pathway along an inner surface of the retainer cam. One or more of the plurality of cam followers engage with the cam pathways and the retention pathway, allowing the plurality of gear blocks to be actuated based on the position of the plurality of cam followers along the retention pathway and the cam pathways.
