摘要: An actuation system is provided comprising an electric motor having a motor output shaft, a first actuator and a transmission system linking the electric motor to the first actuator. The transmission system comprises a drive shaft having an input end and an output end, the output end connected to an input of the first actuator, and a torque limiter. The torque limiter is positioned at an upstream end of the transmission system and connects the motor output shaft of the electric motor to an input end of the drive shaft.

摘要: A ball screw assembly includes a screw shaft along which is formed a first helical groove; a nut along which is form a second helical groove; the first helical groove and the second helical groove cooperating to define a track, a plurality of balls arranged in the track and configured to move along the track in response to relative motion between the screw shaft and the nut such that rotational motion of the screw is translated to linear motion of the nut via the balls and vice versa. The assembly also includes a bypass shoe arranged between the nut and the track and spaced from the track by a predetermined preload X, wherein when a load applied to the nut exceeds the predetermined preload, the bypass shoe engages with the track such that motion of the screw is transferred to motion of the nut via the shoe and bypasses the balls.

摘要: A method of determining the status of a lock. The method includes reading data from a proximity switch and calculating an inductance value from a solenoid, the proximity switch and solenoid located in or around a lock, and processing the data from the proximity switch and the inductance value. The method further includes comparing the processed data with an expected value to confirm the lock status.

摘要: A power inverter topology for converting a DC input to one or more phases of AC output, and methods for operating the same. The power inverter includes a switching circuit, an input circuit and a freewheeling diode bridge arrangement. The switching circuit comprises switch arms extending between the upper and lower branches of the switching circuit. The input circuit includes upper and lower isolating switches that can be selectively operated to respectively isolate the upper and/or lower branches of the switching circuit.

摘要: A leadscrew assembly includes a screw shaft along which is formed a first helical groove and a primary nut along which is form a second helical groove. The first helical groove and the second helical groove cooperate to define a track. The assembly also includes a secondary nut along which is formed a third helical groove. The first helical groove and the third helical groove cooperate to define a track with a nominal running clearance. A preload X is provided wherein when a load applied to the screw exceeds the predetermined preload, the secondary nut engages with the track such that load of the screw above preload X is transferred through the secondary nut and thus protecting the primary nut.

摘要: A spring assembly comprises an edge wound wave spring and a shim. The spring comprises a plurality of axially spaced, axially compressible wave-like turns extending between a first end portion and a second end portion. The first end portion comprises a plurality of closely arranged parallel turns. The shim comprises a shim body and at least one mounting lug projecting radially from the shim body. The mounting lug is received between adjacent turns of the first end portion of the edge wound wave spring for retaining the shim to the edge wound wave spring.

摘要: A brake device for braking rotation of an input shaft includes a selectively operable trigger brake that includes: a static element; a trigger brake shaft mounted for rotational and axial movement relative to the static element and the input shaft; a preloaded torsion spring rotationally coupled to the input shaft but permitting a limited rotational movement between the trigger brake shaft and the input shaft; a roller jamming mechanism operable upon the relative rotation between the trigger brake shaft and the input shaft exceeding a predetermined amount to stop rotation of the input shaft upon operation of the trigger brake; and a brake actuator for selectively moving the trigger brake shaft into and out of engagement with a contact surface of the static element. Engagement of the contact surface of the static element and the trigger brake shaft overcomes the preload of the torsion spring.
