摘要:
A sensing apparatus that includes first and second magnet assemblies. The first magnet assembly includes first and second magnets that have respective first and second opposite magnetic fields, and respective first and second dimensions. The first dimension is relatively smaller than the second dimension. The second magnet assembly is positioned at a distance from the first magnet assembly. The second magnet assembly includes a third magnet that has a third magnetic field which is opposite to the first magnetic field.

A finger follower assembly (30) for variably activating a valve of an internal combustion engine having a camshaft with at least one lobe (40). The finger follower assembly includes a follower body (54), a shaft (78), a cam follower (56), and a latching mechanism (58). The cam follower is supported by the shaft and is configured for engagement with the at least one lobe. The cam follower is configured to pilot on the camshaft to maintain an alignment of the cam follower with respect to the at least one lobe. The latching mechanism selectively latches and unlatches the cam follower to the follower body to provide a first valve lift capability and a second valve lift capability.

A thrust bearing assembly (20) generally includes a cage (22) and a plurality of rolling elements (2). The cage (22) has first and second cage halves (24,26) with each cage half having a respective radial segment (25,27) with a plurality of circumf erentially spaced openings (30,32). Each opening has an opening perimeter. The cage halves (24,26) are interconnected with portions of the radial segments (25,27) circumf erentially between the plurality of openings (30,32) abutting along a given plane and the respective openings (30,32) aligned to defined rolling element pockets. The rolling elements (2) are positioned in the rolling element pockets such that a centerline of each rolling element (2) lies in or in proximity to the given plane (P). A flange (34) extends along at least a portion of each opening perimeter to retain the rolling elements (2) within a respective one of the rolling element pockets.

A steering wheel mounting assembly comprising first and second stationary rings (60, 60'), the second stationary ring (60') being adapted for connection to a vehicle frame. The assembly further comprises a steering hub (70) having a spindle (72) with a radial flange (80) extending therefrom. The spindle is adapted for connection with a steering shaft and the radial flange is adapted for connection with a steering wheel. The spindle has a first bearing raceway (79) for engaging a bearing (69) of the first stationary ring and a second bearing raceway (81) for engaging a brearing (69) of the second stationary ring. The steering hub has at least one opening (82) that defines a bearing surface (86). A friction roller assembly (90), having a shaft (92) with a third bearing (94) thereabout, is positioned in the opening such that as the third bearing rotates relative to the bearing surface, the third bearing moves radially outward and the shaft engages the first and second cylindrical raceways.
摘要:
A linear actuator assembly for providing an axial force. The assembly comprises a torque input assembly, a torque multiplier assembly and a linear actuator. The torque input assembly is driven at an input torque and input speed. The torque multiplier transfers the input torque to the linear actuator with an increased torque from the input torque.

A clutch assembly is provided for a vehicle having at least one primary driven axle supporting a first wheel and at least one secondary driven axle supporting a second wheel. The at least one primary driven axle is driven by a vehicle transmission. The clutch assembly includes a clutch movable between a first position, wherein the transmission engages the at least one secondary driven axle when the first wheel slips and disengages the at least one secondary driven axle when the first wheel does not slip, and a second position, wherein the at least one secondary driven axle engages the transmission to provide engine braking. A single actuator is operable to move the clutch between the first and second positions.

A roller bearing assembly (10) comprising radially inner and outer bearing races (20, 30) with a plurality of roller bearings (40) positioned therebetween. A first plurality of gear teeth (52) are provided in the outer bearing race (20). A second plurality of gear teeth (52) are provided in the inner bearing race (30) in alignment with the first plurality of gear teeth (52). A toothed gear (54) is positioned between and interengages with the first and second pluralities of gear teeth (52).
摘要:
A steering wheel mounting assembly comprising a stationary support carrier (60), first and second drive rings (100, 120), and a drive roller assembly (140). The stationary support carrier defines first (88) and second (92) ring receiving areas. The first drive ring has a first cylindrical raceway, is supported in the first ring receiving area, and is adapted for connection to a steering wheel. The second drive ring has a second cylindrical raceway, is positioned in the second ring receiving area, and is adapted for connection to a steering shaft. The drive roller assembly is supported within the first and second cylindrical raceways and comprises first and second roller planets, a sun roller (142) supported in frictional engagement with the first and second roller planets, a first loading planet (160) frictionally positioned between the sun roller and the first cylindrical raceway, and a second loading planet (160) frictionally positioned between the sun roller and the second cylindrical raceway.
