An adjustable strut that includes an outer housing configured to receive an extendable member, and an extending mechanism with a gear system configured to convert rotation motion of an input mechanism into linear translation of the extendable member.

An actuator gearbox includes a drive shaft including a plurality of gear linkages that are spaced apart along the drive shaft, and a plurality of output shafts adjacent respective ones of the plurality of gear linkages. Each of the gear linkages includes a fixed gear coupled to one of the plurality of output shafts and a moving gear that is slideably coupled to the drive shaft. A bias spring is coupled to the moving gear to urge the moving gear out of engagement with the fixed gear. The mechanical switch moves the moving gear into engagement with the fixed gear on the output shaft adjacent the linkage to thereby cause the output shaft to rotate in response to rotation of the drive shaft.

An adjustable strut that includes an outer housing configured to receive an extendable member, and an extending mechanism with a gear system configured to convert rotation motion of an input mechanism into linear translation of the extendable member.

An adjuster extender is provided that includes a tubular sleeve longitudinally connected to an extender stud, the sleeve having an inner bore for matingly receiving an adjustment shaft of an adjuster to provide radial support therebetween, and a plurality of engagement arms that extend from the sleeve into the inner bore, the engagement arms including arm ends for engaging an adjuster stud on the adjustment shaft to provide an axial interlock between the sleeve and the adjustment shaft.

The ratchet chain binder comprises a seat, a rotating shaft, a ratchet, a handle capable of driving the ratchet to rotate, and two screw tightening components rotatably connected to the seat in a coaxial manner. Two drive bevel gears are disposed respectively on opposing ends of the two screw tightening components. The rotating shaft is provided with a transmission gear and a transmission bevel gear simultaneously engaging the two drive bevel gears, the rotating shaft is capable of driving the two screw tightening components to rotate and changing an overall length of the two screw tightening components. The transmission gear is disposed between the two screw tightening components, an intermediate gear is rotationally connected to the seat, and the ratchet is located above the intermediate gear and engages with the intermediate gear.

A landing leg assembly for a heavy duty commercial vehicle includes a first leg member defining an interior space, a second leg member telescopingly engaging the first leg member and movable between a retracted position and an extended position with respect to the first leg member, a gear assembly at least partially located within the interior space of the first leg member and operably coupled to the second leg member and configured to receive an input from a user to move the first leg member between the retracted and extended positions, the gear assembly including a shaft member and a gear member fixed for rotation with the shaft member, and an integral, single-piece bearing member including a bore that rotatably receives the shaft member, wherein the bearing member comprises a powdered metal and is directly welded to the first leg member.

Machining tool comprising a frame in which a drive shaft for a tool is mounted so as to pivot about a rotation axis and to move axially along the rotation axis. The shaft is connected to two rotary motors, namely a first motor connected to a member for meshing with a fluted portion of the shaft in order to drive the shaft in rotation and a second motor connected to a nut engaged with a threaded portion of the shaft in order to move the shaft axially. The motors are connected to at least one control unit designed to control the motors independently of one another, and the first motor and the second motor are coaxial with one another.

A thrust reverser for a turbojet engine nacelle includes movable cowls which move backward relative to a front frame under the action of an actuation system, thereby making flaps tilt, via a control mechanism, so as to substantially close the annular cold air flow path, and by opening cascades disposed around this flow path and which receive the cold air flow and return it forward. When the thrust reverser is closed, the cascades are partially integrated in the cowls, and the thrust reverser includes an actuation system which makes the cascades move backward along a stroke which is shorter than the stroke of the cowl.

The ratchet chain binder comprises a seat, a rotating shaft, a ratchet, a handle capable of driving the ratchet to rotate, and two screw tightening components rotatably connected to the seat in a coaxial manner. Two drive bevel gears are disposed respectively on opposing ends of the two screw tightening components. The rotating shaft is provided with a transmission gear and a transmission bevel gear simultaneously engaging the two drive bevel gears, the rotating shaft is capable of driving the two screw tightening components to rotate and changing an overall length of the two screw tightening components. The transmission gear is disposed between the two screw tightening components, an intermediate gear is rotationally connected to the seat, and the ratchet is located above the intermediate gear and engages with the intermediate gear.

A torque limiting adjuster for adjusting the position of an adjustable part of a lighting device includes a housing, an output shaft, a driving gear, a driven gear, and a biasing element. The housing includes a main opening and a first threaded portion. The driven gear includes a gearing portion adapted to be engaged with the driving gear. The driving and driven gears are engaged by the biasing element. The output shaft has a first linear guiding portion oriented in a main direction and a second threaded portion coupled with the first threaded portion. The driven gear has a second linear guiding portion slidably coupled with the first linear guiding portion. The second linear guiding portion is configured to transmit the rotation of the driven gear to the first linear guiding portion when the driven gear rotates driven by the driven gear. The driven gear exerts a reaction force on the driving gear that overcomes the biasing element when the driven gear is forced to rotate beyond the predetermined limit position.
