    摘要: A shock absorber for a shaft. The shock absorber comprises a collar having an opening receiving the shaft. A clearance gap is defined between the collar opening and the shaft. A pin offset from the axis connects the collar to a shoulder on the shaft. A resilient o-ring arranged in the clearance gap engages the collar and the shaft. In operation, the collar and the shaft rotate in unison. However, when the collar accelerates or comes to a sudden stop, the resilient o-ring compresses to provide the shock absorption. The shock absorber may be incorporated into a rotary actuator. In a rotary actuator, the collar includes a stop tab that rotates between two stop surfaces of the actuator housing. When the stop tab strikes one of the stop surfaces, the resilient member compresses thereby absorbing and reducing impact force. Compression in the resilient member is snubbed via mechanical stops.

    摘要: A continuously variable electrical actuator rotationally coupled to and thermally isolated from a butterfly valve. The butterfly valve may be used to modulate high temperature exhaust gas flow through an engine turbocharger. An electrical actuator provides a continuously variable output to an output shaft. The butterfly valve has its rotary position controlled by an input shaft. The input shaft and output shaft are rotationally coupled through minimum contact points to reduce heat transfer. The connection between input and output shafts also minimizes vibration transfer therebetween. An coupling tube coaxially interposed between the input and output shafts provides a thermal block to further reduce heat transfer. The input and outputs shafts are rotationally coupled to the intermediate shaft by torsion spring mechanisms to allow a limited range of axial translation for the input shaft. The torsion spring mechanisms are preloaded to prevent rotational hysteresis in the butterfly valve.
