An actuation system includes a power drive unit that drives a plurality of drive shafts that each has a first end individually connected to the power drive unit. The power drive unit includes a geartrain including a plurality of individual gears that are offset relative to each other along the gearbox, and a motor-driven rotation of one of the plurality of individual gears drives rotation of the other individual gears, and each of the plurality of individual gears rotates to drive rotation of a respective one of the plurality of drive shafts. A plurality of torque brakes is mounted to the gearbox, the torque brakes being mechanically coupled to respective individual gears and drive shafts. When the torque being passed through is above a predetermined threshold value, a locking of one of the torque brakes stops rotation of all gears simultaneously to maintain positional symmetry in the actuation system.

GEARBOX
20230057520 · 2023-02-23 ·

A gearbox comprises a differential gear train. The differential gear train comprises a ring gear assembly, a sun gear assembly, and a planetary carrier assembly connected to a planetary gear mechanism. The planetary carrier assembly comprises side plates. The side plates combine with gears to form high-pressure volume units and low-pressure volume units, and a throttle channel is connected between two volume units. The high-pressure volume unit is constructed in a meshing zone of the gears. All high-pressure volume units are connected and communicated with each other by means of a high-pressure oil channel on the planetary carrier assembly. The gearbox can reduce the volume of the high-pressure volume unit, simplify the structure and process, and improve the transmission efficiency and reliability
