Vibration damping TBM TORQUE LIMITING CLUTCH
The present disclosure discloses a vibration damping TBM torque limiting clutch, including a driving end and a driven end which are axially sleeved. A fixed torque fastener is arranged between the driving end and the driven end; an inner spline hole of the driving end is axially sleeved to a motor hollow spline shaft; the tail part of the driven end is axially connected with a high-vibration damping rubber ring; and the rubber ring is wrapped outside of an inner spline hub; the rubber ring and the inner spline hub are fixed by a fastener; a reducer spline shaft is inserted into the inner spline hub after penetrating through the motor hollow spline shaft, and then is connected to the spline of the inner spline hub. The design mainly reduces the overload disengaged rate to an extremely large extent by means of shielding instantaneous torque pulses, and well resolve the defects in the existing technology.
Overrunning clutch having a friction-induced actuating force
The disclosure relates to an overrunning clutch, comprising a torque-introducing clutch element, a torque-receiving clutch element and switching element, which is forced from an engagement position into a freewheeling position or from a freewheeling position into an engagement position in dependence on the direction of a sufficient change in the rotational angle position between the torque-introducing clutch element and the torque-receiving clutch element by means of an actuating force applied to the switching element by an actuator. According to the disclosure, the actuating force is a friction-induced actuating force, which is induced by means of a friction-force pairing between the actuator and a component of the overrunning clutch that is in frictional contact with the actuator and the actuator forms an interlockingly acting actuating stop, by means of which the actuating force acts on the switching element.
Anti-reverse clutch
An anti-reverse clutch apparatus includes an input shaft provided with a push handle, an output shaft mounted coaxially with the input shaft and rotatable relative to the input shaft, a clutch housing including an internal gear formed along an internal circumferential surface of the clutch housing, and a locking block, which is mounted between the output shaft and the internal circumferential surface of the clutch housing, and rotatable together with the output shaft and which includes an external gear, which is formed along an external circumferential surface of the locking block to be engaged with the internal gear, the locking block being linearly moved in a radial direction of the output shaft by a sloped surface structure formed between the push handle and the locking block so that the external gear is engaged with or disengaged from the internal gear when the push handle is rotated.
Torque limiting device
A torque limiting device comprises rotationally mounted input and output shafts, an intermediate drive element rotationally coupled to the input shaft and a plurality of jammer elements mounted between the intermediate drive element and the output shaft. A spring mechanism is connected between the input shaft and the intermediate drive element for aligning the intermediate drive element and the input shaft in a driving configuration in which rotation of the input shaft at a torque below a predetermined threshold is transmitted to the output shaft via the jammer element, but in which torque above the predetermined threshold moves the input shaft rotationally relative to the intermediate drive element against the force of the spring mechanism so as to disengage that jammer elements from driving engagement with the output shaft.
Air Turbine Starter With Decoupler
An air turbine starter with a housing; a turbine member located within the housing; a drive shaft operably coupled to the turbine member, and having an interior portion. The air turbine starter output shaft extending between a first end and a second end, the output shaft movable between a first position, where the first end is coupled to the engine, and a second position, where the second end is retained within the interior portion and the first end is uncoupled from the engine. A decoupler assembly is included for decoupling the output shaft from the engine.

Overload Clutch for an Actuator for Driving Components of a Loading, Fueling or Service Door, and Actuating Mechanism for Operating a Loading, Fueling or Service Door Including such an Overload Clutch
The disclosure relates to an overload coupling for an actuating mechanism for actuating a charging, fueling, or service flap on a charging, fueling, or service compartment that is or can be received on or in a body component of a vehicle. The overload coupling includes a drive-side coupling element and an output-side coupling element and, in an engaged state by means of a form-fit and/or force-fit lock, transfer a torque and thus a drive movement from the drive-side coupling element to the output-side coupling element. When a critical torque to be transferred is reached or exceeded in the event of an overload, to lift the form-fit and/or force-fit lock between the drive-side coupling element and the output-side coupling element.

Anti-back drive components for a valve actuator assembly
Valve systems include a valve and a valve actuator assembly for operating the valve. The valve actuator assembly includes a drive device and a hand wheel assembly that can independently be used to cause movement of the valve. An anti-back drive component is coupled to the output of the drive device, the hand wheel assembly, or both. The anti-back drive component includes a locking device and an unlocking device, each with respective protrusions that cooperate to define cavities that house pairs of springs and rollers. The shape and orientation of the cavities allows for rotation of the rollers in the cavities and the anti-back drive component by rotating the unlocking device, while preventing rotation of the rollers and the anti-back drive component via rotation of the locking device to selectively prevent rotation of the output of the drive device, hand wheel assembly, or both.
Torque restriction mechanism, drive device, and robot device
A torque restriction mechanism is provided by which torque cutoff and torque transmission can be reliably performed without being affected by a rotation state of the drive unit, and damage to a collision object can be reduced even with a simple configuration. The torque restriction mechanism includes a first clutch and a second clutch. The first clutch cuts off torque to a driven unit when reaction torque at a stationary portion of a motor equals or exceeds a first value. The second clutch that transmits torque in accordance with a rotation state of a rotor of the motor, cuts off torque to the driven unit when the reaction torque equals or exceeds a second value larger than the first value.
