摘要： A manual actuating mechanism comprises a lever (2) and an actuating member (4), each of which carries at least one gear tooth (10, 12). The gear teeth are in engagement and are operable to transmit movement of the lever to the actuating member. The engaging gear teeth (10, 12) define a clearance which is occupied by a magneto-rheological fluid (MRF). One or more electromagnetic coils (22) are arranged to produce an electromagnetic field in the vicinity of the MRF and thus to alter its viscosity, thereby altering the perceived free play in the movement of the lever.

摘要： A wind turbine includes a rotor shaft configured for operation by a rotor; a drive shaft configured to be driven by the rotor shaft; and a generator driven by the drive shaft. The wind turbine further includes a hydraulic cylinder arrangement acting between the rotor shaft and the drive shaft. The hydraulic cylinder arrangement is configured to allow relative rotation between the rotor shaft and the drive shaft.

摘要： A clutch pressure plate actuation mechanism includes a solenoid and a lever pivotable about a fulcrum positioned between the ends of the lever. The solenoid includes a fixed electromagnet and an armature connected to a first end of the lever. The second end of the lever is movable into contact with a clutch pressure plate. Attraction of the armature by the electromagnet causes pivoting of the lever about the fulcrum and movement of the pressure plate towards an engaged position. In a dual clutch assembly, the solenoid of one clutch is arranged to act through the friction plate of the other clutch.

摘要： An axle differential (200) for a vehicle includes a differential gear cluster (206) arranged in communication with a torque biasing gear cluster (208), wherein the torque biasing gear cluster is configured for varying the proportion of drive torque between the two outputs (204). A first drive path provides input (201) to the differential gear cluster and a second drive path provides input (202) to the torque biasing gear cluster, either independently of the first drive path or by diverting torque from the first drive path. A pivot turn axle differential is also provided, wherein even and odd epicyclic gear trains can be selected to cause rotation of the axle outputs in the same or opposite directions.
