A threaded spindle module includes a threaded spindle which extends along a longitudinal axis and has an external thread at an output-side end and, offset with respect to the external thread, a drive-side end with a peg for rotationally fixed coupling to an actuator interface, and with a threaded nut which is screwed onto the external thread, and a joint-like curved support point of the threaded nut is provided as a pivot joint of the threaded spindle module, with a pivot joint center relative to an associated receiver.

The present disclosure provides an actuator assembly having a ball nut comprising a helical track and a ball screw. The ball screw of the actuator assembly includes a first translation bearing track having a first diameter, wherein the helical track and the first translation bearing track form a first translation bearing raceway in which a first translation bearing ball is disposed. The ball screw further includes a second translation bearing track having a second diameter, wherein the helical track and the second translation bearing track form a second translation bearing raceway in which a second translation bearing ball is disposed. The first diameter and the second diameter are not equal.

An electromechanical brake pressure generator including a threaded drive system. The system includes a rotatable spindle nut, a axially displaceable spindle cooperating with a thread of the spindle nut, and a hydraulic piston which at least partially radially surrounds the spindle and the spindle nut and is rotatably fixedly connected to the spindle and which carries out an axial piston stroke as a result of the rotation of the spindle nut. The system includes a housing which at least partially surrounds the hydraulic piston and forms a hydraulic cylinder, and an axial recess, in the hydraulic cylinder, which forms an anti-twist protection together with a torque support formed at the hydraulic piston and using which the hydraulic piston and the spindle are secured against twisting during a rotation of the spindle nut, the recess forming a sliding surface for the torque support of the hydraulic piston.

An actuation device (1) comprising a threaded shaft (2) connected at one end to driving means adapted to allow the threaded shaft (2) to rotate about its longitudinal axis (a). A movable element (3) is provided with a cylindrical cavity (30) adapted to receive the threaded shaft (2), and configured so that a rotation of the threaded shaft (2) corresponds to a translation the movable element (3) along the longitudinal axis (a). The device (1) has two guiding rods (4,4) coupled to the movable element (3) and adapted to constrain the translation of the latter along a direction parallel to the longitudinal axis (a). Element (3) comprises a first (31) and a second (32) element constrained to each other, wherein the first element (31) is coupled to the threaded shaft (2) and the second element (32) is coupled to the two guiding rods (4,4).

A gimbal having a split design, which can be used in an assembly for actuating an aerodynamic high lift device, is described. The gimbal enables a rotating load path when a force is transferred from the actuator to the high lift device via the gimbal. In particular, the split design can include two receivers which can be coupled to posts extending from a nut. The nut can be secured to a shaft which receives a force generated by the actuator. In one embodiment, the actuator can rotate the shaft to cause the gimbal to translate along the shaft. The split design provides a more compact form factor and is lighter in weight than traditional gimbal designs

A device for level adjustment for a motor vehicle includes a ball screw. The screw nut of the ball screw is driven by an electric motor. The spindle of the ball screw is displaceable with respect to a housing. The ball screw is supported with respect to the housing using two axial self-aligning bearings with a common pivot point such that the housing can pivot with respect to the spindle, thereby avoiding loads on the balls of the ball screw.

The invention relates to a ladder system for trench shoring, comprising a lower ladder (14) which extends from the bottom of a trench over a lower subportion (T1) of the height of the trench, and an upper ladder (16) which extends over an upper subportion (T2) of the height of the trench up to a trench edge, wherein the upper ladder (16) is a suspension ladder for suspending onto a shoring panel (12). A ladder system according to the invention is intended to increase the safety of the workers particularly for deep trenches. In a ladder system according to the invention, a platform (22) is arranged at the lower end of the upper ladder (16) is, and that the lower ladder (14) is a stepladder or leaning ladder which stands on the bottom of the trench.

A linear drive device includes an output shaft having a first spiral groove, a movable body engaged with the first spiral groove so as to move in an axial direction, a first fixed shaft extending along an axial line, and a second fixed shaft extending around the axial line. The movable body includes a moved member engaging with the first spiral groove, and a slider moving in the axial line direction integrally with a moved member. The slider is provided with guide holes in which the first fixed shaft penetrates, a penetration part in which the second fixed shaft penetrates with play in the direction in which the first and second fixed shafts are connected, and a first and second receiving part for receiving a moved member when the moved member was rotated to one side along the axial line and when the moved member rotated to the other side.

A nut for a lead screw comprises two or more concentric annular members which, when aligned, have common axes. One member is contained within another member outside it. A first member has an outer convex spherical periphery and a second member has an inner spherical concave periphery, the peripheries being concentric with the centre, and the inner periphery of the second is engaged with the outer periphery of the first member. The second member is constrained to rotate about the fist member on an axis perpendicular to the common axis.
