Coupling and drive train for a wind turbine
20250290489 · 2025-09-18 ·

A coupling for a drive train of a wind turbine between the gearbox and the generator has a drive-side coupling hub, an output-side coupling hub and an intermediate section. The coupling has a torque limiter. In order to create a generic drive train, which is designed such that in the event of an overload, significantly higher energies can be absorbed, the torque limiter has more than two friction elements, in particular disks.

SLIP GEAR ASSEMBLY FOR SNOWMOBILE
20260009429 · 2026-01-08 ·

A gear assembly for transferring power between a prime mover and a tractive element of a snowmobile includes a first body configured to couple to the prime mover, a second body configured to couple to the tractive element, a first pressure plate coupled to the first body, and a second pressure plate coupled to the second body. The first pressure plate includes a first friction surface. The second pressure plate includes a second friction surface. The second friction surface forms a friction torque with the first friction surface such that the second pressure plate is coupled to the first pressure plate when a torque between the first pressure plate and the second pressure plate is less the friction torque and the second pressure plate and the first pressure plate separately rotate when the torque is greater than to the friction torque

Adjustment drive for a steering column, and steering column for a motor vehicle

An adjustment drive can be used in a steering column for a motor vehicle. In some examples, the adjustment drive may include a threaded spindle that engages with an outer thread in a spindle nut and a drive unit that is coupled to the threaded spindle or the spindle nut in such a manner that the threaded spindle and the spindle nut can be driven in rotation relative to each other. The drive unit may have a torque-transmitting slip clutch that is coupled to the threaded spindle or the spindle nut. The slip clutch may include friction faces that contact each other in a frictionally engaging manner.
