Abstract: Valve systems include a valve and a valve actuator assembly for operating the valve. The valve actuator assembly includes a drive device and a hand wheel assembly that can independently be used to cause movement of the valve. An anti-back drive component is coupled to the output of the drive device, the hand wheel assembly, or both. The anti-back drive component includes a locking device and an unlocking device, each with respective protrusions that cooperate to define cavities that house pairs of springs and rollers. The shape and orientation of the cavities allows for rotation of the rollers in the cavities and the anti-back drive component by rotating the unlocking device, while preventing rotation of the rollers and the anti-back drive component via rotation of the locking device to selectively prevent rotation of the output of the drive device, hand wheel assembly, or both.

Abstract: A coupling assembly includes a multiple-position actuation mechanism and a detent assembly holding the actuation mechanism in a discrete position. The detent assembly may include a mechanical detent. In one example, the mechanical detent engages the actuation mechanism and holds the actuation member in a neutral or middle position.

Abstract: In a drive unit attached to a vehicle-body frame of an electric-motor-assisted bicycle including a one-way clutch including an outer member, an inner member, a plurality of clutch lugs, a plurality of springs, and a plurality of pins. Clutch teeth are located on one of an inner peripheral portion of the outer member and an outer peripheral portion of the inner member. The clutch lugs and the springs are located on the other of the inner peripheral portion and the outer peripheral portion. A number of the clutch lugs is an even number not smaller than four. A number of the clutch teeth is an even number that is not a multiple of the number of the clutch lugs. A number of the springs is half the number of clutch lugs. Each spring exerts a biasing force on two of the clutch lugs that are circumferentially adjacent. Each pin is in contact with one of the springs.

Abstract: A decoupler is provided for rotationally driving a generator of an auxiliary-unit belt drive of an internal combustion engine, including: a pulley, a hub, and two bearing points, at which the pulley is rotatably supported on the hub, a series arrangement of a helical torsion spring and a one-way clutch, which allows the hub to overtake the pulley, and a spring plate, which is rotationally fixed in relation to the pulley or the hub, for the one spring end and a spring plate, which can be rotated in relation to the pulley and the hub, for the other spring end. The spring ends, which lie against ramp steps of the spring plates, radially expand the helical torsion spring as the driving torque is transmitted. The frictional torque, produced in one of the bearing points when the hub is overtaking, acts on the rotatable spring plate in a direction of rotation of the rotationally fixed spring plate. The other bearing point, according to the invention, has a part that is rotationally fixed in relation to the rotationally fixed spring plate, on which part the rotatable spring plate is supported, a further frictional torque thus being produced, which acts on the rotatable spring plate in the direction of rotation of the rotationally fixed spring plate.

Abstract: A split type cage includes: a pair of annular portions including recess portions formed on an inner periphery side at intervals in a circumferential direction; and a pillar portion which includes pillar end portions on both end sides in an axial direction and fitted in the recess portions, and on which a reaction toward an other side in the circumferential direction acts. The recess portion includes a wedge-shaped surface forming a wedge-shaped space, which becomes narrower in a radial direction toward the other side in the circumferential direction, between the wedge-shaped surface and an outer peripheral surface of an inner ring. The pillar end portion has a wedge shape in which a radial dimension decreases toward the other side in the circumferential direction, and includes a radial outside surface contacting the wedge-shaped surface and a radial inside surface contacting the outer peripheral surface of the inner ring.

Abstract: A one-way clutch is disclosed, which improves durability while reducing a drag torque and restraining burning of a block bearing. The one-way clutch includes: a torque transfer mechanism disposed between an outer race 2 and an inner race 3 so disposed in the outer race 2 as to be spaced inwardly in a diametrical direction, and hindering the outer race 2 and the inner race 3 from making a relative rotation in a predetermined direction; and block bearings 6 disposed between the outer race 2 and the inner race 3 together with the torque transfer mechanism, and keeping the outer race 2 and the inner race 3 in a concentric state, in which each block bearing has a slide surface 6f contiguous with an axis-directional surface of the outer race 2 or the inner race 3, and at least part of the slide surface 6f is a roughened surface.

Abstract: Displacement of a switching member in a first direction causes rolling elements of each pair to come out of engagement with an outer peripheral portion or an inner peripheral portion and form clearances therewith, resulting in an OFF state of a driving force transmission apparatus. Displacement of the switching member in a second direction causes a downstream one of the rolling elements of each pair in the direction of rotation to come into zero clearance engagement with the outer peripheral portion and the inner peripheral portion, with a clearance formed between an upstream one of the rolling elements of each pair and the outer peripheral portion or the inner peripheral portion, resulting in an ON state of the driving force transmission apparatus.

Abstract: A one-way transmission module includes an external ring, an internal ring and catch units. The external ring includes a non-circular external face for engagement with an internal face of a hub or a flywheel-bearing drum. The internal ring includes a non-circular internal face for engagement with an external face of the drum or the hub. An external face of the internal ring includes planar facets each comprising two terminal portions and a middle portion located further from the internal face of the external ring than the terminal portions. Each catch unit is arranged between the internal face of the external ring and a corresponding of the planar facets of the internal ring to allow the external and internal rings to rotate together in a forward direction but not allow the external and internal rings to rotate together in a backward direction.

Abstract: The present invention addresses the problem of implementing a pulley device with an embedded unidirectional clutch, with which the influence of auxiliary automobile machinery on a rotary shaft due to fluctuations in the rotation of the engine can be sufficiently reduced. A sleeve (1b) is configured from an inner-diameter-side sleeve (24) and an outer-diameter-side sleeve (25), a unidirectional clutch (3) is provided between the outer-diameter-side sleeve (25) and a pulley (2), and a coiled torsion spring (18a) capable of transmitting torque between the inner-diameter-side sleeve (24) and the outer-diameter-side sleeve (25) is provided between these members (24, 25). When the rotational speed of the pulley (2) becomes slower than the rotational speed of the outer-diameter-side sleeve (25), the inner-diameter-side sleeve (24) and the outer-diameter-side sleeve (25) rotate relative to one another due to the elastic force of the coiled torsion spring (18a), until the elastic force of the coiled torsion spring (18a) is released, after which the unidirectional clutch (3) becomes incapable of transmitting torque between the pulley (2) and the outer-diameter-side sleeve (25).
