A hybrid power unit of a work machine includes an engine and an energy storage device. The engine includes a crankshaft for driving a load and the crankshaft is attached to an energy storage device via a clutch. The energy storage device can be charged by the engine to store energy, that may be used to provide, when required, a boost to engine performance. The clutch may engage/disengage the energy storage device from the engine and/or control a clutch pressure. The clutch protects the crankshaft from shock loading and can slip to prevent over-torqueing of the crankshaft.

A torque transmission system having multiple torque transmission pathways from a driving shaft to a driven shaft. The driving shaft extends from a lower segment to an upper segment via an intermediate segment, the driven shaft extending from a first segment to a second segment. The transmission system includes a nominal spline coupling that is operational in a nominal operating mode, a backup spline coupling between the driving shaft and the driven shaft that is inactive in the nominal operating mode, and a backup radial guide device between the driving shaft and the driven shaft that is inactive in the nominal operating mode.

A transmission device includes an external transmission device, an internal transmission device, and a spacer ring. The external transmission device is cylindrical and has an outer wall and an inner wall. The inner wall has a plurality of inwardly extending arc-shaped protrusions. The internal transmission device is disposed in the inner wall and has an outer circumferential surface including a plurality of outwardly extending arc-shaped protrusions. The spacer ring is located between and contacts the arc-shaped protrusions of the external transmission device and the arc-shaped protrusions of the internal transmission device. When torque between the external transmission device and the internal transmission device is greater than a predetermined torque, one or more of the arc-shaped protrusions of the external transmission device or the arc-shaped protrusions of the internal transmission device deform and the external transmission device rotationally slips relative to the internal transmission device.

A fine pitch adjuster that includes a housing, a wheel gear positioned within the housing and coupled to a ball stud, wherein rotation of the wheel gear provides inward and outward longitudinal translation of the ball stud relative to the housing, and a clutching worm input drive including, an inner drive sleeve having a shaft portion and a head portion, the shaft portion including a plurality of sleeve slots formed therein and a plurality of engagement ribs, and an outer worm gear sleeve having worm gear threads, the worm gear threads coupled at least indirectly to the wheel gear, and an inner chamber, the outer worm gear sleeve including a plurality of grooves extending longitudinally along the inner chamber for mating engagement with the plurality of engagement ribs, wherein rotation of the inner drive sleeve provides clutchable engagement with the outer worm gear sleeve to rotate the wheel gear.

An improved roller shade system provides increased support, additional adjustments and/or increased safety. The slip plate allows the brake to slip forward and minimize damage to the clutch spring when a user pulls too hard on the hembar. The center drive mechanism extends through a bracket to allow the drive shaft to distribute power in both directions and drive two shade tube simultaneously. The tube adapter absorbs force from the spinning shade tube to minimize damage to the other components and the bead chain. The sprocket has a back wall supporting the sprocket, allowing the sprocket 130 to rest on the back flange of the sun gear to minimize pressure on the gears. An adjustment arm is adjusted to help level the shade band. The shade bands may be removed without disturbing the other shade bands in the system. A height of a hembar may be adjusted by rotating a rod within the hembar.

A valve actuator includes: a housing, a motor that is disposed in the housing and that includes a motor shaft, a drive gear coupled to the motor shaft, a transfer gear that engages with the drive gear and that is configured to, based on the drive gear rotating, be rotated according to a predetermined gear ratio, an output shaft disposed in the housing, an output gear that is coupled to the output shaft and that engages with the transfer gear, and a stopper that is disposed in the housing and that is configured to control a rotation radius of the output gear. The transfer gear comprises an inner part, an outer part disposed at an outside of the inner part, a first magnet disposed at the outer part, and a second magnet that is disposed at the inner part and that faces the first magnet.

A mounting assembly for mounting an auxiliary component to an engine case of a gas turbine engine includes a first flange configured for attaching the mounting assembly to the engine case; a second flange configured for attaching the mounting assembly to the auxiliary component; and a mechanical fuse disposed between the first flange and the second flange and configured to shear during an overload event.

A valve actuator includes a motor and a gear assembly that receives driving force of the motor and controls a valve. In the gear assembly, a power transmission gear for transmitting rotational force of an input gear to an output gear includes a selective power transmission unit. When the output gear is in physical contact with a stopper, the power transmission gear transmits the rotational force of the input gear to the output gear is blocked. Accordingly, even after the valve is actuated to close a path, the rotational force of the input gear is not transmitted to the output gear even though the motor is continuously driven.

A sealed actuator with internal clutching assembly including an output shaft, output detent ring, moving detent ring, and a wave spring, which is fit inside a sealed housing. The moving detent ring is able to move axially to the output shaft and the output detent ring is able to rotate on the output shaft. Intermeshing ramped teeth of these rings are held together by a wave spring and allow the output shaft to rotate and transmit torque of a motor through a main gear operably coupled to an output gear mounted on the output shaft to the outside of the housing. During predetermined high loads, the output and moving detent rings ramped teeth create an axial force that overcomes the load from the wave spring, which allows moving detent ring to disengage and output shaft to rotate freely to help prevent damage to the actuator.
