摘要: In order to protect an actuator system for a movable surface in a reliable manner, while also protecting the movable surface in the event of a system failure, the actuator system includes a power drive unit connected to one end of an input shaft. An actuator is disposed on the input shaft having multiple output stages normally driven by the power drive unit through the input shaft with the mutiple output stages being operatively associated with the movable surface for driving movement thereof. In order to provide dual load path shafting together with incorporating fail safe actuator construction, the actuator system also includes a feedback shaft extending from the actuator to the power drive unit and a torque sensor operatively associated with the feedback shaft.

摘要: An exercise cycle includes a frame having a front wheel assembly and handlebars. The front wheel assembly includes a fan wheel having side plates one of which has an intake port, and an intake assembly around the intake port, the intake assembly having openings which may be opened and closed. By opening and closing the intake openings, the resistance of the wheel to the air can be varied without changing the rotational rate of the wheel. The handlebars of the exercise cycle are pivotally connected to the cycle intermediate their ends. The lower ends of the handlebars are pivotally connected to a cam arm which is removably connected to the shaft to which the pedal is mounted. By connecting or disconnecting the cam arm to or from the pedal shaft, the handlebars can be selectively moved between a stationary mode and a mode in which the handlebars reciprocate between forward and backward positions.

摘要: An overtravel stop for a rotary shaft, including a fixed stop having at least a pair of stop jaws disposed at different radii from the axis of the rotary shaft. A follower member is provided about the rotary shaft and is adapted to rotate with the shaft within a selected travel limit. The follower member is associated with a stop member having at least a pair of stop jaws disposed at the same different radii as the stop jaws of the fixed stop. The follower member is rotationally shiftable with respect to the shaft when the shaft reaches its travel limit. The stop member is axially movable into engagement with the fixed stop when the follower member rotationally shifts relative to the shaft. At least some of the stop jaws have negative rake angles, and a shock absorber is provided behind the fixed stop.

摘要: In an actuation system having a pair of motors simultaneously operable for driving a movable member through a torque-summing gear box, there is a need to have a simply constructed, minimal cost, light weight quick disconnect mechanism operable to disconnect a motor which has failed fixed so that the other motor can continue to operate. The quick disconnect mechanism utilizes a tapered jaw clutch connecting driving and driven elements in the drive train between the motor and the torque-summing gear box, a ball detent mechanism for holding the clutch either engaged or disengaged and a short duty cycle solenoid. The solenoid can be momentarily energized to release the ball detent mechanism to permit an axial force derived from the driven member being back driven to separate the clutch and thereafter, the solenoid is de-energized to enable the ball detent mechanism to maintain the clutch disengaged. The solenoid is only momentarily operable to release first locking means including the ball detent mechanism to enable disengagement of the clutch and thereafter is de-energized to enable second locking means including the ball detent mechanism to hold the clutch disengaged and without necessity of continuous energization of the solenoid during the entire time in which the clutch is held disengaged.

摘要: A synchronous/asynchronous exercise machine is changeable between a synchronous exercise mode wherein a user's limbs, such as his legs, oppositely reciprocate, and an asynchronous exercise mode wherein the user's limbs move independently. The synchronous/asynchronous exercise machine may comprise a first movable element for accepting a user's limb, and a second movable element for accepting another limb. A load source against which the user can exercise may also be provided. A first drive belt operatively connects the first movable element to the load source, and a second drive belt operatively connects the second movable element to the load source. A quick change mechanism, which may be connected to the first movable element, is releasably engagable with the second drive belt for changing the synchronous/asynchronous exercise machine between the synchronous exercise mode and the asynchronous exercise mode.

摘要: A dual hydraulic motor system where motor wobblers are mechanically linked and the motor outputs are torque summed, is controlled by a three position dual valve assembly. Each valve assembly is controlled by pilot pistons that are mechanically linked to provide three functions, one being normal operation, a second where one motor must be shut-off and its load on the system is minimized and the third where both motors are shut-off and significant drag is then provided. These functions are implemented by a separate spool in each valve which has three independent stable positions.

摘要: In order to avoid a large torque spike in a system in the event of a system failure, a shaft relative speed limiting system includes a lost motion device and a brake. The lost motion device is operatively associated with a pair of shafts normally driven at selected speeds such that one of the shafts drives the other of the shafts in the event of a system failure. The brake is operatively associated with the pair of shafts normally driven at selected speeds through first and second portions of a relative speed limiting device and limits the relative speed between the shafts in the event of a system failure. Additionally, the first portion of the relative speed limiting device is normally driven by one of the shafts at the selected speed thereof and the second portion of the relative speed limiting device is normally driven by the other of the shafts at the slected speed thereof in the shaft relative speed limiting system.

摘要: An overtravel stop for a rotating shaft has a pair of gears associated with the shaft to rotate therewith. Each gear engages an associated limiting gear and the two engaged gear pairs have different gear ratios. One of the limiting gears is threaded over a shaft which is secured for rotation with the other limiting gear, such that the different gear ratios causes the one limiting gear to translate over the shaft. At selected travel limits, the one limiting gear is caused to lock relative to the other, thereby causing one of the gears associated with the shaft to shift therearound. A cam structure is provided which axially shifts a stop member associated with the shaft into engagement with a fixed stop when the one gear shifts about the shaft. Two different cam structures are shown including a pin and slot connection between the stop member and the shaft, and an ear and cam recess connection between the stop member and one of the shaft gears.
