A reverse-input blocking clutch includes: a pressed member having a pressed surface; an input member having an input-side engaging portion on an inner side in a radial direction of the pressed surface; an output member having an output-side engaging portion further on the inner side in the radial direction than the input-side engaging portion; an engaging element on the inner side in the radial direction of the pressed surface to move in a first direction away from or toward the pressed surface, having a main engaging element body having a pivot-support shaft, and a link member having a first end portion pivotally linked to the pivot-support shaft and a second end portion pivotally linked to the input-side engaging portion; and an elastic body between the main engaging element body and the link member and applying an elastic force to the link member toward the pressed surface in the first direction.

A reverse input blocking clutch has: a pressed member having a pressed surface; an input member having an input-side engaging portion; an output member having an output-side engaging portion; and an engaging element having an engaging element main body and a link member to move in the first direction away from or toward the pressed surface. The engaging element main body has a pair of main body plates arranged to overlap in the axial direction, and a pivot support shaft arranged on the side in the first direction closer to the pressed surface than the input-side engaging portion with the both side portions supported by the pair of main body plates. One pressing surface facing the pressed surface is provided on one main body plate, and the other pressing surface is provided on the other main body plate.

For controlling electromechanically actuatable brakes of servo type construction, it is necessary to detect the forces acting on the abutment of the brake shoes. The abutment is therefore formed from a massive material which deforms under load, wherein measurement devices are provided which detect this deformation. The shape of the abutment is selected in such a way that the abutment has measurement gaps, the size of which changes when the abutment is loaded. The size of the measurement gaps can be sensed by means of Hall sensors or AMR sensors, for example.

A reverse input blocking clutch has: a pressed member having a pressed surface; an input member having an input-side engaging portion; an output member having an output-side engaging portion; and an engaging element having an engaging element main body and a link member to move in the first direction away from or toward the pressed surface. The engaging element main body has a pair of main body plates arranged to overlap in the axial direction, and a pivot support shaft arranged on the side in the first direction closer to the pressed surface than the input-side engaging portion with the both side portions supported by the pair of main body plates. One pressing surface facing the pressed surface is provided on one main body plate, and the other pressing surface is provided on the other main body plate.

Provided is a reverse input blocking clutch capable of easily releasing a state in which rotation of an output member is prevented or suppressed.

The reverse input blocking clutch 5 includes an input member 14, an output member 15, a pressed member 16, and an engaging member 17. When a rotational torque is inputted to the input member 14, the engaging member 17 moves in a direction away from a pressed surface 28 of the pressed member 16 due to engagement with the input member 14, and transmits the rotational torque inputted to the input member 14 to the output member 15 due to engagement with the output member 15; and when rotational torque is reversely inputted to the output member 15, moves in the direction closer to the pressed surface 28 based on engagement with the output member 15, and by being pressed against the pressed surface 28 does not transmit the rotational torque reversely inputted to the output member 15 to the input member 14, or transmits only part thereof to the input member 14 due to engagement with the input member 14.

A clutch includes a roller arranged between a clutch housing and a driven side rotating body. The roller is rotated about a rotation axis of a drive side rotating body together with the drive side rotating body when the drive side rotating body is rotationally driven. The roller hinders rotation of the driven side rotating body by being sandwiched between the clutch housing and the driven side rotating body when the drive side rotating body is not rotationally driven. The support member sandwiches the roller between the clutch housing and the driven side rotating body. The support member rotates about the rotation axis of the drive side rotating body together with the drive side rotating body. The grease is arranged between the clutch housing and the roller. The support member restricts rotation of the roller about a central axis of the roller.

A backdrive braking element is provided for preventing backdrive of a shaft. It includes a poly-lobed locking mechanism including an unlock shaft that has a polygon shaped inside profile and is coupled to a poly lock drive and brake assembly. The poly lock drive and brake assembly includes a plurality of poly lock drive and brake segments and is contained within the interior cavity of a housing.

A clutch includes a rotatable inputting member, a rotatable outputting member, a stationary member, and a contact member. The outputting member includes an output contact portion. The contact member is positioned between the outputting member and the stationary member and includes an arcuate first contact surface and a second contact surface. When the input torque for rotating the inputting member is inputted, the outputting member and the contact member rotate in contact with the inputting member. When a reverse input torque for rotating the outputting member is inputted, the outputting member is spaced from the inputting member, and the output contact portion of the outputting member urges the first contact surface against the stationary member by urging the second contact surface of the contact member thereby to prevent rotation of the outputting member.
