A one-way clutch used in a wind power generation device integrally rotatably connects an input rotating body and an output rotating body to each other in a state in which a rotational speed of the input rotating body exceeds a rotational speed of the output rotating body, and breaks connection between the input rotating body and the output rotating body in a state in which the rotational speed of the input rotating body is lower than the rotational speed of the output rotating body. The input rotating body and the output rotating body are allowed to relatively move along an axial direction, and a maximum allowance of movement is set to be larger than variation of a distance along the axial direction between an input shaft and an output shaft caused by state change.

An interface device includes a first fixed portion and a first rotation portion which are fixed to a body, a first power portion which is connected to the first fixed portion and the first rotation portion and provides power to the first rotation portion, and a control unit which controls the first power portion to control rotation of the first rotation portion when receiving a signal from an external device, and the first power portion switches the first rotation portion to a free state of being rotatable by external force or a control state of being not rotatable by external force in accordance with a signal of the control unit.

A clutch unit includes: a first housing which is provided with a groove recessed inwards; a second housing which is inserted to the groove of the first housing and is provided with one or more arc portions to protrude along a circumference thereof on one surface thereof; one or more first roller portions which are positioned between the first arc portions; and a first rotation transfer portion which is inserted to the second housing and is rotated in accordance with rotation of a motor, wherein rotation of the first housing is controlled by the first rotation transfer portion and the first housing is not rotatable by external force when the first housing is attached to the first roller portions, and is freely rotatable by external force when the first housing is detached from the first roller portions.

Disclosed is a motor having a clutch function. The motor having the clutch function includes a driving unit, a reduction gear unit configured to reduce a rotational speed of the driving unit, and a clutch unit connected between the driving unit and the reduction gear unit and configured to selectively block power transmission, and the clutch unit includes an inner race connected to the driving unit and having a clutch shell; an outer race configured to output a torque of the clutch shell; a plurality of rollers provided in a circumferential direction between the clutch shell and the outer race, and configured to transmit the torque; an armature configured to rotate with maintaining an interval between the plurality of rollers; and a solenoid configured to block the torque input from the outer race to the inner race by controlling the rotation of the armature.

A variable valve timing device applied to an engine system may include a rotor supplied with oil and rotated in clockwise and counterclockwise directions, one-way clutches coupled to the rotor to limit an amount of rotation of the rotor, a sprocket having a rotor hole surrounding an external diameter portion of the rotor, a rotation shaft fitted into a shaft hole of the rotor for the supply of oil to oil grooves, and a shaft fixing member coupled to the rotation shaft to fix the rotor and the rotation shaft, wherein the one-way clutches restrict clockwise/counterclockwise rotation of the rotor by torque of a camshaft, achieving an improvement in fuel efficiency/emission material (EM) of an engine.

Provided is a one-way clutch in which a rotating direction of a first rotating member with respect to a second rotating member is switched, the first rotating member including a recessed portion that receives a planetary gear and including, in an outer circumferential portion thereof, an engaging portion that engages with the planetary gear, whereby relative rotation of the planetary gear and the first and second rotating members is switched to rotatable and unrotatable. When the first rotating member is relatively rotating with respect to the second rotating member, the planetary gear meshes with an internal gear of the second rotating member, and the position of the planetary gear is thereby restricted.

A joint member for a wind power generation apparatus includes: a first rotor integrally rotating with an output shaft of a speed increaser; a second rotor integrally rotating with an input shaft of a generator; and a one-way clutch provided between the first rotor and the second rotor. A torsion promoting portion being readily twisted and elastically deformed is provided at a portion of the first rotor where power is transmitted from the output shaft to the one-way clutch.

A drive transmission device includes a clutch mechanism. The clutch mechanism includes a drive transmission member that is coupled to a first rotation member via a torque limiter and is arranged in a fitting part of a second rotation member and a third rotation member, and a transmission member moving part that includes a first gap and a second gap, the first gap being formed in the fitting part and having a width wider than the thickness of the drive transmission member and the second gap being formed in the fitting part and having a width that is equal to or smaller than the thickness of the drive transmission member, the transmission member moving part being formed in such a way that the width thereof becomes smaller about a rotation axis in the fitting part.

A clutch unit includes a lever-side clutch part to control transmission of rotational torque input through a lever operation, and a brake-side clutch part to transmit the rotational torque from the lever-side clutch part to an output side, and interrupt rotational torque from the output side. The brake-side clutch part includes an outer ring constrained in rotation, an output shaft configured to output the rotation, a cage arranged between the outer ring and the output shaft to receive the rotational torque from the lever-side clutch part, and a cylindrical roller to control the interruption of the rotational torque from the output shaft and the transmission of the rotational torque input from the cage through engagement and disengagement between the outer ring and the output shaft.

A seat adjuster having a fixed part (12), a drive element (26), an output element (22, 24), a clamping body coupling arrangement (16) by means of which a back and forth movement of the drive element (22, 24) out of a neutral position and back into the neutral position is converted into a continued movement of the output element (22, 24) in a uniform direction of rotation, and a releasable locking device for locking the output element (22) in a form-fitting manner on the fixed part (12), characterized in that the locking device is formed by a locking ring (74) which is axially displaceable between a locking position, in which it is non-rotatably coupled to the output element (22), and a release position, and cam surfaces (82, 84) are formed on the locking ring (74) and the drive element (26), which cam surfaces are complementary to one another and translate a rotation of the drive element (26) away from the neutral position into an axial movement of the locking ring (74) into the released position.
