A stripper assembly can include a feed wheel, a stripping tire, a drag clutch, and first and second stripping elements. The feed wheel and stripping tire can be mounted for rotation in clockwise (CW) and counter-clockwise (CCW) directions and can contact one another to define a nip through which papers are directed. The drag clutch can be interposed between the stripping tire and the shaft it is mounted upon. The first and second stripping elements can be positioned on the shaft of the stripping tire on opposite sides of the nip. Each of the stripping elements can be configured and positioned to engage papers passing through the nip. The drag clutch is not interposed between either of the first and second stripping elements and the shaft of the stripping tire.

A clutch disk for a vehicle may include a hub plate mounted on a shaft to restrict a rotation of the shaft, a sub plate rotatably mounted on the shaft, a presser mounted on the hub plate to restrict a position of the presser and protruding from the hub plate toward the sub plate, and a wave spring positioned between the hub plate and the sub plate, mounted to allow at least a part of the wave spring to adhere to the sub plate, and formed with a flexion to change a spaced distance from the hub plate depending on a rotation direction of the hub plate to thereby change a point and a level pressed by the presser depending on a relative rotation between the hub plate and the sub plate.

An adjuster for an air disc brake includes an over-torque clutch arrangement that includes an adjuster drive plate having ramped detents, and a ball-carrying plate having pockets for retaining ball bearings. Ball bearings are carried and retained in the ball-carrying plate, and transmit rotation between the adjuster drive plate and the ball-carrying plate below a torque threshold. Above a torque threshold, the balls move axially away from the adjuster drive plate against the force of a spring, and ride up the ramped detents. Above the torque threshold, rotation is not transmitted.

Provided is a drive train of a wind turbine. The drive train includes a torque limiter assembly including a torque limiter. The torque limiter includes: a first clamping disk, a friction disk, a second clamping disk, and a preloading means. The clamping disks and the friction disk are configured such that the clamping disks frictionally transmit a torque to the friction disk. The torque limiter assembly further includes a torque shaft and a hub shaft. The torque shaft is connected to a rotor of the wind turbine, and the hub shaft is connected to a generator rotor of a generator. The friction disk is bolted to the hub shaft via interface bolts from a downwind side, such that the torque limiter is detachable from the hub shaft as a whole. Further provided is a wind turbine.

An actuator is provided and includes first and second shafts, a friction plate affixed to the second shaft, a one-way clutch that includes an inner diameter portion affixed to the first shaft, an outer diameter portion and a one-way clutch portion interposed between the inner and output diameter portions and a bearing. The bearing is disposed such that a compressive load path is formed from the first shaft, through the bearing and the outer diameter portion and to the friction plate and the second shaft. The one-way clutch portion is configured for free-wheeling during forward rotation of the first shaft that permits forward rotation transmission to the second shaft and for jamming during reverse rotation of the first shaft to create a drag event on the friction plate that inhibits reverse rotation transmission to the second shaft.

A slip clutch device for an electric driving machine includes a rotation axis, an input side rotatable about the rotation axis, an output side rotatable about the rotation axis, and a slip clutch connecting the input side to the output side in a torque-limiting manner. The slip clutch includes an electrical insulation element for preventing an electrical disruptive discharge line between the input side and the output side, a friction disc, and a friction plate, pressed against the friction disc in a contact region in a frictionally engaged torque-transmitting manner. The friction disc or the friction plate is formed from an electrically insulating material in an insulation region extending radially over the contact region, and the insulation region is a bearing structure for radially transmitting torque.

A novel head device generally consisting of at least one aperture that is capable of excepting different sizes of safety wire, at least one cam-locking lever, which may incorporate a spring return mechanism, is disclosed. The body may be rotated by a mechanical means which twists the safety wire. In preferred embodiment, the various elements of the safety wire twister device are each configured with means of limiting torque or twists of safety wire to eliminate possibility of over torqueing or twisting of safety wire.
