An example electromagnetic actuator includes a drive shaft, a motor operable to rotate the drive shaft, and a load shaft coupled to an armature body. A clutch is operable to control whether the drive shaft engages the load shaft. A rotatable portion of the clutch corotates with the drive shaft and includes a field winding and a clutch body. A stationary portion of the clutch includes an exciter winding that is inductively coupled to the rotatable portion and is operable to energize the field winding. The field winding is operable, when energized, to provide a magnetic field that causes engagement or disengagement between the clutch body and an armature body. A method of operating an electromagnetic actuator is also disclosed.

A disc-type speed regulation magnetic coupler based on bevel gear drive is provided, consisting of a driving disc assembly and a driven disc assembly, wherein a speed regulation device is mounted on the driving disc assembly.

An electrically and mechanically driven automotive accessory including a housing, an electric motor, a pulley, and a pulley assist mechanism. The electric motor comprises a stator assembly that is mounted to the housing and a rotor assembly that is mounted to a shaft. The electric motor creates a primary torque flow path that drives rotation of the rotor assembly relative to the stator assembly. The pulley is rotatable relative to the shaft and the rotor assembly. The pulley assist mechanism includes a plurality of claw-pole structures that are arranged circumferentially about the rotor assembly and an electromagnet that is configured to induce a magnetic field between the claw-pole structures and the pulley, which creates a secondary torque flow path between the pulley and the rotor assembly.

A sealed actuator with internal clutching assembly including an output shaft, output detent ring, moving detent ring, and a wave spring, which is fit inside a sealed housing. The moving detent ring is able to move axially to the output shaft and the output detent ring is able to rotate on the output shaft. Intermeshing ramped teeth of these rings are held together by a wave spring and allow the output shaft to rotate and transmit torque of a motor through a main gear operably coupled to an output gear mounted on the output shaft to the outside of the housing. During predetermined high loads, the output and moving detent rings ramped teeth create an axial force that overcomes the load from the wave spring, which allows moving detent ring to disengage and output shaft to rotate freely to help prevent damage to the actuator.

The motor further includes a fastener disposed in the axial direction to secure the support, the stator core, and the housing.

An inverted harmonic gear actuator is provided and includes a motor stator and a motor rotor radially disposed within the motor stator. The inverted harmonic gear actuator also includes a wave generator radially disposed within the motor rotor, where the wave generator has a radially inner surface with a cammed shape. An actuator output shaft is radially disposed within the wave generator. A flex spline is radially interposable between the radially inner surface of the wave generator and the actuator output shaft. The flex spline is deformable to conform to the radially inner surface of the wave generator and drive rotation of the actuator output shaft slower than rotation of the motor rotor.

Disclosed is an integrated starter generator (ISG), comprising a stator (4) and a rotor (3). The stator and the rotor are oppositely arranged and are both provided with an annular iron core, a coil winding (121, 131) is arranged on the side, facing the rotor, of the iron core (120, 130) of the stator, a squirrel-cage conductor (123) or a plurality of permanent magnets (133) are arranged on the side, facing the stator, of the iron core (122, 132) of the rotor, and the rotor and the stator are spaced by a certain distance to form an air gap plane. In a hybrid power system installed with the integrated starter generator, a clutch (111) is arranged in an inner ring of the integrated starter generator in a nested manner. By arranging the clutch in the ISG, the axial length of the clutch is completely or partially covered by the axial length of the ISG, and thus the system space is reduced.
