A conveyor includes an electric motor having a stator housing and a rotor connected in a torsionally fixed manner to a rotatable hollow shaft. The hollow shaft is connected in a torsionally fixed manner to a solid shaft, which projects at least partly into a recess of the hollow shaft. The stator housing with the bearing flange connected to the stator housing is connected to a flange, which is connected to a second support part on the side facing away from the electric motor. The solid shaft projects through a recess of the second support part and is rotatably mounted in a first bearing accommodated in a first support part, and the solid shaft is connected in a torsionally fixed manner to a conveyor device. means. The conveyor device is situated between the first and the second support part, and the flange is connected to the second support part with the aid of screw parts projecting through recesses of the flange. Each screw part is set apart from the flange and the respective screw part projects through a spring part that is situated between the respective screw part and the flange.

Aircraft cargo management systems comprising a support structure comprising a first rail and a second rail, the first rail arranged parallel to the second rail, wherein the first rail has a first exterior face and the second rail has a second exterior face, a wheel mounted on an axle, the axle mounted to the first exterior face and passing through the second exterior face, and a power drive unit (“PDU”) mounted to the axle and configured to rotate the axle about an axis are provided. PDUs comprising an electronic controller housed in a controller housing, a motor housed in a motor housing, and a first connecter mounted to the motor housing and a second connector mounted to the controller housing, the first connector configured to mate with the second connector and to conduct electricity between the motor and the electronic controller are also provided.

A remotely operated hydraulic system is configured to engage an unloader in a semi-trailer. The remotely operated hydraulic system includes a solenoid mechanically coupled to the semi-trailer. The solenoid is further mechanically coupled to at least one air input line and at least one air output line. A receiver is electrically coupled to the solenoid and communicatively coupled to a remote control. The receiver is configured to open and close the solenoid based on a signal from the remote control. An air cylinder is mechanically coupled to the at least one air output line and a manual valve. Receiving air into the air cylinder operates to open the manual valve. A motor is mechanically coupled to the air cylinder and the unloader; wherein hydraulic pressure from the manual valve is configured to turn the motor and thus the unloader.

A vending machine includes a housing defining a product storage area and a delivery portal. The vending machine may further include an advancing assembly within the product storage area configured to advance a product. The advancing assembly includes an axle having a coupling, a conveyor belt rotatable about the axle, and a pusher secured to the conveyor belt and configured to push the product as the conveyor belt rotates. The vending machine may include a delivery mechanism configured to convey the product from the product storage area to the delivery portal. The delivery mechanism includes an x-y mechanism and a product retrieval assembly movable by the x-y mechanism. The product retrieval assembly includes a cup configured to receive the product from the advancing assembly, and a drive mechanism configured to engage the coupling of the advancing assembly to drive the conveyor belt to advance the product into the cup.
