Housing for a transmission
A housing for a transmission, in particular an actuator housing. The housing having a housing wall and ribs that protrude from the housing wall to the outside and/or inside. The protruding ribs are at least partially arranged such that they form a honeycomb-shaped structure on the housing wall.
Variable speed transmission with auxiliary driver and system using same
The system comprises: a main driver configured for rotating at a substantially constant rotational speed; a rotating load configured to be driven into rotation by the main driver; a controller, for controllably adjusting a load rotational speed; a variable speed transmission, arranged between the main driver and the load and comprised of a speed summing gear arrangement having a first input shaft, a second input shaft and an output shaft; an auxiliary driver, mechanically coupled to the second input shaft of the speed summing gear arrangement. The first input shaft of the speed summing gear arrangement is drivingly coupled to the main driver. The output shaft of the speed summing gear arrangement is drivingly coupled to the rotating load. The speed of the output shaft is a combination of a speed of the main driver and of a speed of the auxiliary driver.
Apparatus for offshore work comprising a gear motor
Device for offshore work by machining tools, such as cutters, saws, drills and the like, with a geared motor comprising a drive, a drive coupled to the transmission and at least one multi-part housing for receiving the drive and transmission, wherein the transmission at least one through the Housing leading to the outside shaft, in particular output shaft (18), to which the machining tool outside the housing can be connected, characterized in that the geared motor is equipped by a waterproof designed housing enclosure for underwater operation, wherein the housing parts along their joining surfaces by sealing means, in particular sealing rings, and the housing on the drive side and driven side rotating surfaces, in particular shafts relative to the housing (4) are sealed by pressurizable ring seals.
Mechanical Lure
An improved mechanical lure with articulated legs preferably includes a housing, a gearbox, a pair of legs, a plastic sealing film, a gearbox case and at least one hook. The housing preferably includes an upper housing member and a lower housing member. The gearbox includes a gearbox unit, a winding reel and a pulling line. The winding reel with the pulling line and an offset drive shaft extend from the gearbox unit. The gearbox unit is filled with a lubricant. The plastic sealing film is applied to the gearbox unit to cover a plurality of holes including a lubricant injection opening. The gearbox case includes an upper case member and a lower case member. The gearbox case is sized to receive the plastic film wrapped gearbox unit. The pair of legs include first and second leg drive members. The first and second leg drive members are driven by the offset drive shaft. The appendage(s) of the mechanical lure is comprised of thermoplastic for increased buoyancy.
External mechanism for endoscope and endoscope apparatus
An external mechanism for endoscope includes: an abutment surface that is a first surface configured to cover a knob arranging surface at which a second bending operation knob is arranged in an operation portion of an endoscope; a wheel configured to engage with the second bending operation knob arranged at the knob arranging surface; a motor configured to generate a driving force for rotating the wheel; a housing case that houses the wheel and the motor; a case attaching/detaching and fixing section for detachably attaching the housing case to the operation portion of the endoscope; and a locking member provided at the housing case and configured to be locked on the knob arranging surface of the endoscope and a large-diameter portion end face adjacent to the knob arranging surface in the operation portion of the endoscope.
Planetary gear drive and aircraft gas turbine with a planetary gear drive
The invention relates to a planetary gearbox having a ring gear support, in particular in a geared fan engine, characterized by a bolt connection for connecting the ring gear support to a static component, wherein the bolt connections are arranged on the circumference of the ring gear support in the axial direction of the planetary gearbox, and the bolt connections are designed and arranged in such a way that there is a frictional joint with a defined frictional force between the ring gear support and the static component and that a material separation, in particular a gap, is arranged between the ring gear support and the static component.
Compact height torque sensing articulation axis assembly
A compact height torque sensing articulation axis assembly is disclosed herein having a torque sensor, an assembly mounting flange, a motor, a motor gearbox, a gearbox output shaft, an encoder, and a cable. The assembly may sense tension on robotic catheter pullwires in an articulating catheter and/or torque on a robotic output axis using the torque sensor. Disclosed embodiments may advantageously be used to achieve small, lightweight robotic catheter systems.
ROTARY ENGINE WITH RECIRCULATING ARC ROLLER POWER TRANSFER
The disclosure provides rotary machines that include, in one embodiment, a shaft defining a central axis A, the shaft having a first end and a second end. The shaft can have a first gearbox disposed thereon defining one or more cavities therein. At least one contour is slidably received into an arcuate cavity in an exterior surface of the gearbox. The contour has a convex outer surface that cooperates with an inwardly facing curved surface of a housing to form a working volume. A gearbox mechanism consisting of gears, crankshafts, bearings and connecting rod creates an oscillatory motion 2 times per revolution such that the contour can navigate about the arcuate cavity without contacting the cavity at a high rate of rotating speed. Thus, said working volume can expand and compresses twice per rotatable shaft revolution.
Gear box, driving device, and electronic apparatus
A gear box includes a casing, a gear that is accommodated in the casing and transmits the power of a motor, an output gear that is connected to the gear in the casing, and a collar that is externally inserted to the output shaft of the output gear and is rotatable relative to both the output shaft and the casing.
Camera gimbal
A camera gimbal has a gearbox including a housing containing therein a central main gear secured to a bearing shaft in a fixed-position relative to the bearing shaft and at least one rotary damper secured to the housing at a fixed-location relative to the housing. The at least one rotary damper is engaged with the central main gear in a manner permitting rotation of the at least one rotary damper about a periphery of the main central gear such that the housing rotates about an axis of rotation extending longitudinally through the bearing shaft and the central main gear. A camera-mount extends from the housing. Gravity acting on the mass/weight of the camera and a counterweight causes rotation of the gearbox to maintain the camera in a relatively level position while the at least one rotary damper damps the rotational movement of the gearbox.
