    摘要: A multi-stable solenoid includes a housing defining a first end and an opposing second end, a wire coil arranged within the housing and defining an inner coil plane defined along a radially innermost diameter of the wire coil, a first pole piece arranged adjacent to the first end of the housing, a second pole piece arranged adjacent to the second end of the housing, and an intermediate pole piece arranged axially between the first pole and the second pole. The intermediate pole piece extends radially outwardly past the inner coil plane to an outer surface. The solenoid further includes a permanent magnet arranged adjacent to the intermediate pole piece, and an armature slidably arranged within the housing and moveable between two or more stable positions. Selective energization of the wire coil is configured to move the armature between the two or more stable positions.

    摘要: A phasing system for varying a rotational relationship between a first rotary component and a second rotary component includes a gear hub and a cradle rotor. A spider rotor is arranged between the gear hub and the cradle rotor to selectively lock and unlock relative rotation between the gear hub and the cradle rotor. A torsion spring is coupled between the gear hub and the cradle rotor to apply a torque load between the gear hub and the cradle rotor. A planetary actuator is coupled to the gear hub and the spider rotor. The planetary actuator is operable between a steady-state mode, in which relative rotation between the gear hub and the cradle rotor is inhibited, and a phasing mode, in which the planetary actuator receives a rotary input at a predetermined magnitude to selectively provide a relative rotation between the gear hub and the cradle rotor.
