An epicyclic gear train for a servomotor system includes a case, and, positioned in the case, a planet carrier carrying planet gears, a ring gear, and a sun gear. The epicyclic gear train includes a control for changing input and output speed ratio in response to an input applied from outside the case.

A routing plate assembly is provided and includes a gearbox having an aft surface, first and second hydraulic components, a routing plate comprising a forward side affixable to the aft surface of the gearbox, an aft side to which the first and second hydraulic components are affixable and a body. The body is formed to define interfacial pathways by which the gearbox and the first and second hydraulic components are communicative.

A food article defect removal apparatus includes a manifold that defines one or more chambers for holding pressurized fluid. First channels extend from a first side of the manifold into fluid communication with the chambers. Second channels extend from the first side of the manifold to a second side of the manifold. Valves selectively connect corresponding first channels and second channels together to dispense the pressurized fluid from the manifold. The manifold can have an exterior wall that at least partially defines a first chamber and a second chamber, with an interior wall disposed between the first chamber and the second chamber. The interior wall can define the second channels. The valves can be included with a valve assembly, which includes a driver operably coupled with the valves. The valves can be pluggably coupled with the driver.

A hydraulic assembly for modulating a brake pressure of a wheel brake of a motor vehicle brake system with electronic slip control includes a housing block through which a brake fluid is configured to flow and which is equipped with an electronically controllable member for setting the brake pressure. The hydraulic assembly also includes at least one particle-filtering device that is fitted with the housing block and forms a magnetic field. Using the particle-filtering device, particles of ferromagnetic material are configured to be filtered out of the brake fluid without reducing a cross-section of a fluid-conducting channel and thereby choking the throughflow of the housing block or hindering the fluid throughflow.

The present disclosure relates to an adjustment system a method for compensating for temperature variations in a spool valve. The spool valve and adjustment system may be parts in a duplex hydraulic actuator. The adjustment device comprises a spring, a pivot point, and a shape memory alloy (SMA) device. The spring and SMA device are disposed on either side of the pivot point to hold the pivot point in a first position. The SMA device is configured to change size in response to a temperature change so as move the pivot point to a second location. This may eliminate force fight in the duplex hydraulic actuator by preventing asynchronous activation of the spool valves due to thermal expansion within the spool valves.
