Apparatuses, systems, and methods of use for a magnetic coupling device is disclosed. The magnetic device may have a plurality of magnets to create a magnetic field to the devices enclosed within the device. The coupling device may have a housing that encloses and/or partially surrounds one or more rotatable shafts. The coupling device may couple an output shaft from a motor to an input shaft of a generator. The coupling device may have an electric coil that when energized may vary any applied magnetic field to the rotatable shafts. The magnetic device may have a first plurality of magnets positioned at a first radial position and a second plurality of magnets positioned at a second radial position, with the first magnets being rotatable and the second magnets being stationary. Multiple magnetic coupling devices may be coupled together in series to provide increased magnetic fields to the enclosed system.

An electromagnetically actuable brake device includes: a coil shell, in particular of the solenoid, an armature disk, which is connected to the coil shell in a torque-proof yet displaceable manner, a sensor having a sensor housing, a spring part, and a screwed cable gland. The coil shell has a stepped through bore, the sensor housing of the sensor has a stepped configuration, the screwed cable gland is situated at an end of the bore, in particular is screwed into a threaded section of the bore, the spring part is situated in the bore between the screwed cable gland and the sensor housing, the spring part is braced on a step of the sensor housing on one side and on the screwed cable gland on the other, and the sensor housing is pressed against a step of the bore, in particular by the spring part.

An electromechanical linear includes a rotary shaft; a harmonic drive gear arrangement extending radially outwardly of and coaxially with the rotary shaft; an electric motor positioned radially outwardly of the harmonic drive gear arrangement, wherein the rotary shaft is configured to be driven by the electric motor via the harmonic drive gear arrangement; and an output component configured to be driven along the rotary shaft in response to rotation thereof.

An electromagnetic braking device includes a brake disk, a fixed disk, an armature, a biasing member for biasing the armature, and a stator for attracting the armature. In a stator magnetic circuit member, a first yoke, a permanent magnet, and a second yoke are arranged in this order from one end to the other end of a U shape. In a rotatable state or a rotation braking state, even when the coil energization is OFF, the rotatable state or the rotation braking state is maintained. When a current of a predetermined magnitude flows through the coil in a first direction in the rotatable state, the state shifts to the rotation braking state, and when a current of a predetermined magnitude flows through the coil in a second direction in the rotation braking state, the state shifts to the rotatable state.

Provided are a lens barrel and an imaging device, with which it is possible to lock an optical member of which the movement in an optical axis direction is made free in a case where there is no electrification, particularly to hold the optical member in a locked state without use of electric power. A movable frame that holds a focus lens is driven in the optical axis direction by a linear motor. In a case where the movable frame is to be locked with the linear motor being not electrified, the movable frame (engagement portion) is caused to abut onto a restriction portion at an end portion of the movable range of the movable frame and a locking ring is caused to rotationally move to a locking position by an electric actuator. Accordingly, the movable frame is fixed by the restriction portion and a locking portion of the locking ring to become unable to move. The electric actuator includes a worm gear as a power transmission mechanism and it is possible to hold the locking ring at the locking position by means of an irreversible rotation function of the worm gear.
