A vehicle having a pair of electric actuators for use with a pair of drive apparatuses is disclosed herein. For each actuator, an electric motor drives a reduction gear train to position a control shaft, the reduction gear train having a worm drive that motivates a spur gear reduction. The housing of the electric actuator features a motor chamber to accommodate the electric motor and is sealed by a cap having an electric connector.

An electric actuator for use with a drive apparatus is disclosed herein. An electric motor drives a reduction gear train to position a control shaft, the reduction gear train having a worm drive that motivates a spur gear reduction. A slip clutch is disposed between the worm drive and spur gear reduction to protect the components of the reduction gear train, and to also place a limit on the torque applied to the control shaft. The housing of the electric actuator features a motor chamber to accommodate the electric motor and is sealed by a cap having an electric connector.

An apparatus for transfer of a torque from an internal combustion engine to an auxiliary unit has an auxiliary unit shaft and a pulley rotatably disposed on the auxiliary unit housing. The pulley and the auxiliary unit shaft are connected with one another by an overload protection device configured to interrupt the connection between the pulley and the auxiliary unit shaft if a predetermined torque is exceeded. The overload protection device has a spring washer having multiple spring arms connected, on the end side, with connection elements of a disk-shaped driver until the predetermined torque is reached. Each connection element is configured as a pocket-shaped mounting in the driver, wherein the respective spring arm end lies against a contact surface of the pocket-shaped mounting under spring tension, with force fit. The respective pocket-shaped mounting is configured as a hook-shaped crosspiece cut out of the driver in certain regions.

The present invention relates to an ejector clutch (1) for a belt tensioner, comprising a first shaft (10), a second shaft (20), and a coupling part (30), wherein the coupling part (30) is arranged between the first shaft (10) and the second shaft (20) in a longitudinal axis (X) defining an axial direction, wherein the coupling part (30) has at least one clutch finger (40), which engages in a first recess (15) of the first shaft (10) for transmitting a torque (M) and, when a torque (M2) to be transmitted is exceeded, said clutch finger is displaced, against a spring force in the axial direction, from the first recess (15) of the first shaft (10) into a second recess (25) of the second shaft (20). The invention further relates to a belt tensioner with an ejector clutch (1).

An actuator has an actuator housing engaged to a portion of a transaxle housing to define a space. A clutch assembly has a support shaft extending through the actuator housing and rotatably supporting gears in the space. At least one pin extends through one gear and a spring urges the pin into engagement with a second gear. An adjustment nut extends through the actuator housing and engages the support shaft to adjustably compress the spring. The actuator may further have an actuator housing forming a motor chamber and a gear chamber. A mounting plate detachably couples the actuator and pump housings, and the plate defines an opening through which a pump control shaft extends. A worm drive is disposed in the gear chamber and driven by an electric motor shaft, and drives a spur gear reduction, the pump control shaft being controlled by the spur gear reduction.

The disclosure relates to an overload clutch, comprising a cylindrical clutch housing having a housing body and a housing cover, and comprising two clutch elements arranged within the clutch housing, via which a drive movement is transmissible in an engaged state, wherein the clutch elements, for transmitting the drive movement in the engaged state, are engaged with each other in an interlocking and/or frictional manner and, can be brought out of engagement when an overload occurs. The housing body comprises a plurality of engagement elements, and the housing cover comprises a plurality of retaining structures corresponding to the engagement elements, wherein the engagement elements are able to be brought into engagement with the retaining structures by rotating the housing cover relative to the housing body.

The present invention relates to an ejector clutch (1) for a belt tensioner, comprising a first shaft (10), a second shaft (20), and a coupling part (30), wherein the coupling part (30) is arranged between the first shaft (10) and the second shaft (20) in a longitudinal axis (X) defining an axial direction, wherein the coupling part (30) has at least one clutch finger (40), which engages in a first recess (15) of the first shaft (10) for transmitting a torque (M) and, when a torque (M2) to be transmitted is exceeded, said clutch finger is displaced, against a spring force in the axial direction, from the first recess (15) of the first shaft (10) into a second recess (25) of the second shaft (20). The invention further relates to a belt tensioner with an ejector clutch (1).

The disclosure relates to an overload clutch, comprising a cylindrical clutch housing having a housing body and a housing cover, and comprising two clutch elements arranged within the clutch housing, via which a drive movement is transmissible in an engaged state, wherein the clutch elements, for transmitting the drive movement in the engaged state, are engaged with each other in an interlocking and/or frictional manner and, can be brought out of engagement when an overload occurs. The housing body comprises a plurality of engagement elements, and the housing cover comprises a plurality of retaining structures corresponding to the engagement elements, wherein the engagement elements are able to be brought into engagement with the retaining structures by rotating the housing cover relative to the housing body.

A clutch assembly includes an output shaft extending along an axis and output teeth. A movable component is disposed adjacent to the output component. The movable component includes drive teeth and an annular engagement weight track including a groove circumscribing the axis. The movable component is movable between an engaged position, wherein the drive teeth are drivingly engaged with the output teeth, and a disengaged position, wherein the drive teeth are not engaged with the output teeth. An input component is disposed adjacent to the movable component. The input component includes engagement weight pockets. Spherical engagement weights are disposed in each engagement weight pocket. The groove has a generally uniform radial cross section across its circumference.
