A gear-shifting device is disclosed. The device comprises a first motor having a first rotor. The first rotor turns clockwise and counter-clockwise, creating a wobbling action. The device further comprises a compound planetary transmission, comprising a transmission ring attached to a ring gear. The compound planetary transmission receives power from the first rotor. The device further comprises a second motor having a second rotor. The second rotor turns clockwise and counter-clockwise. The device further comprises a shift assembly, comprising a drum, a cap, and a pinion gear. The pinion gear receives power from the second rotor. The drum locks with the pinion gear such that the drum rotates with the pinion gear. The transmission ring is attached to the drum, such that the transmission ring moves laterally as the drum rotates. The ring gear locks and unlocks with the cap as the drum rotates. The wobbling action enables the locking.

This disclosure includes anti-reverse rotation apparatuses, rotors for use therein, and related methods. Some apparatuses include a stator defining an interior volume and one or more arcuate contact surfaces within the interior volume, and a rotor rotatably coupled to the stator and at least partially disposed within the interior volume, the rotor having a hub, two or more shoes, each pivotally coupled to the hub and extending between a first end and a second end that is farther from the hub than is the first end, wherein each of the shoes is rotatable relative to the hub between: (a) a first position in which the second end of the shoe contacts at least one of the arcuate contact surface(s) of the stator; and (b) a second position in which the second end of the shoe does not contact the arcuate contact surface(s) of the stator.

A DC motor with a one-way bearing applicable for driving various different electrical products includes a chassis, a motor shaft, a front output shaft and a rear output shaft. Front and rear one-way bearings are installed between the front end of the motor shaft and the inner end of the front output shaft and between the rear end of the motor shaft and the inner end of the rear output shaft and they are rotated in opposite directions. In a power output mode, the forward rotation of the motor shaft drives the front output shaft to rotate in a forward direction synchronously while the rear output shaft remains still, or the reverse rotation of the motor shaft drives the rear output shaft to rotate in a reverse direction synchronously while the front output shaft remains still.

A permanent magnet DC (PMDC) motor, including: a motor body including a revolving shaft; a Hall sensing module; a gear reducer; and a gear assembly including an output shaft; and a magnet ring. The gear assembly is disposed in the gear reducer. The gear assembly is connected to and driven by the revolving shaft of the motor body. The magnet ring is disposed on the revolving shaft or on the output shaft of the gear assembly. The Hall sensing module is disposed on the gear reducer. The Hall sensing module is adapted to sense a signal of the magnet ring to detect the revolving speed of the revolving shaft or the output shaft, and transmit detected data with regard to the revolving speed.

An actuator includes a yoke extending about a rotation axis. A coil is wrapped about the yoke. A rotor having a direct axis and a quadrature axis is supported for rotation about a rotation axis relative to the yoke. The rotor has a reluctance along the direct axis that is different than a reluctance along the quadrature axis to rotate the rotor when current is applied to the coil.

A motor with one-way rotation including: a stator having a stator core, an upper insulator joined to the upper portion of the stator core, and a lower insulator joined to the lower portion of the stator core; a rotor having a rotor housing which includes a disc part having a hollow portion formed at the center and a side wall part vertically formed along the outer circumference of the disc part in the upward direction, and a plurality of magnets attached to the inner face of the side wall part of the rotor housing, the disc part having a one-way bearing seating portion formed around the hollow portion; a rotary shaft penetrating through the central portions of the stator and the rotor; and a one-way bearing having an outer wheel joined to the one-way bearing seating portion and an inner wheel joined to the rotary shaft.

A planetary gear speed reduction device may include a magnetic sun gear; a plurality of magnetic planetary gears which each revolve around the magnetic sun gear while rotating; and a magnetic internal gear arranged surrounding the multiple magnetic planetary gears from an outer circumferential side. An outside diameter of the magnetic sun gear and an outside diameter of the magnetic planetary gears may be equal.
