Abstract:
A rotary drive device includes a housing element, a drive shaft and a driven shaft, both rotatably mounted in the housing element, a transmission device that transmits torque from the drive shaft to the driven shaft, and a braking device configured to counteract rotation of the drive shaft. The braking device includes a drive shaft input element, a braking element connected to the housing element for conjoint rotation, and a coupling element adjustable with respect to the input element. A braking force exerted by the braking device is greater when the coupling element is located in a first position than when located in a second position, and the coupling element assigned to the driven shaft so that adjustment from the first position to the second position is triggered by exceeding a threshold value of the difference in torque between the drive shaft and the driven shaft.
Abstract:
An enhanced material-processing device and method are disclosed, having a processing tool of substantially circular circumference, which is operative with a power tool having a rotating spindle and jaws, which clamp the processing tool. The enhanced material-processing device has a central opening that is entered concentrically in the processing tool for receiving a clutch mechanism, and a hub structure. The hub structure is associated with the clutch mechanism to form a slip clutch that is integrally mounted in the enhanced material-processing device and is operative by application of an axial compression friction fit on the processing tool, which slips relative to the rotating spindle when a threshold torque limit is reached. The clutch mechanism is preloaded in axial compression through a predetermined elastic strain distance to provide a friction fit having a torque limit threshold, which torque limit of the slip clutch is controllably pre-adjustable.
Abstract:
An overload protection transmission device includes a transmission shaft having a mounting element provided at an end thereof, a disc-shaped fixing part rotatably fixed to the transmission shaft via the mounting element, an annular transmission gear, and a locking disc rotatably fixed to the transmission shaft and configured to rotatably couple the transmission shaft with the transmission gear. The transmission gear has an accommodating part and a friction part provided along an inner circumferential surface thereof. The accommodating part is configured to engage the fixing part when the fixing part is inserted into a central opening of the annular transmission gear. The locking disc includes an outer circumferential surface configured to engage the friction part of the transmission gear for transmitting a frictional torque between the locking disc and the transmission gear.
Abstract:
A friction clutch for at least one running wheel (9) of a track-bound traction vehicle is disclosed. The running wheel (9) is secured to a shaft (16) and can be driven by a motor (1). The friction clutch has opposite, annular outer jaws formed by a portion (28) of the running wheel (9) and by a compression ring (17, 23) which is firmly fixed to the running wheel (9), a clamping ring (27) being clamped between the compression ring (17, 23) and the portion (28) of the running wheel (9). The invention provides a friction clutch which is easy to produce and easily accessible. Moreover, it allows maximum torque to be subsequently adjusted.
Abstract:
A coupling device has a pulley that receives rotational torque from an engine. The torque is transmitted to a shaft through a hub and a one-way clutch. A torque limiter is screwed on the shaft to fasten the inner ring of the one-way clutch onto the shaft. The torque limiter has a breakable portion. The torque is directly transmitted from the inner ring to the shaft when the torque is normal. If the torque exceeds the tightening torque of the torque limiter, the inner ring begins to slide and rotate, and drives the torque limiter in a tightening direction. As the torque limiter is tightened additionally, the tensile stress on the breakable portion is increased. Then, the breakable portion breaks and is separated in axial direction so that the coupling device disconnects torque transmission.
Abstract:
An elastic friction overload coupling having two coupling halves and friction bodies arranged therebetween, wherein both coupling halves are pressed against one another with spring force for transmitting a rotational moment, and wherein at the one coupling half there is fixedly mounted against rotation a ring-shaped element and biased in axial direction by spring force against the aforementioned one coupling half. Components of the second coupling half are arranged between the first coupling half and its ring-shaped element. According to the invention there are provided screws in order to detach the ring-shaped element from the first coupling half, so as to be able to exchange segment-shaped friction bodies or sectors of the first and/or second coupling halves, without having to displace the latter upon their shafts or to dismantle the same, and that the screws are arranged at the region of the outer periphery of the coupling and carry the springs as entrainment means for the ring-shaped element.
Abstract:
An improved slip clutch for outboard motors which prevents damage to the propeller and drive train and which eliminates shear pin breakage. The clutch friction mechanism is incorporated within a propeller hub while the mechanism for maintaining the clutch pre-load is housed within a special hub nut designed for ease of calibration and resistance to corrosion and abrasion.
