    Abstract: In exemplary implementations, a target rod is actuated. The target rod is part of a set of threaded, elongated rods, the longitudinal axes of which are substantially parallel to each other. The set of rods has an interior region and a perimeter region. Actuators induce vibrations in a set of perimeter rods. These vibrations are substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axes. Furthermore, the vibrations are transmitted to interior rods, causing a target rod in the interior region to rotate about, and translate along, the longitudinal axis of the target rod. The target rod undergoes stick-slip motion relative to adjacent rods.

    Abstract: A threaded spindle (11), having a drive part (20), which has a longitudinal axis (A) and is mounted in a first journal (70), and having a threaded part (30), which has a longitudinal axis (B), and having a threaded nut (50), which is mounted in a second journal (80a; 80b) and in which the threaded part (30) is guided. The drive part (20) and the threaded part (30) are formed as separate parts and are each provided with at least one coupling element (25, 55), which are connected to each other in an articulated manner by plugging together. An offset of the longitudinal axes (A, B) can be compensated in this manner. The two-part threaded spindle (11) forms a threaded drive with the threaded nut (50) thereof, which can for example be used in a parking brake of a vehicle braking system.

    Abstract: In a gear system and a rotary transducer provided with the gear system, the gear system includes a first part, a convex toothed wheel, a supporting body, relative to which the first part and the convex toothed wheel are rotationally mounted, and engaging elements which mesh with the toothed wheel according to the rotational position of the first part. The engaging elements carry out a movement with a radial directional component relative to the toothed wheel. A force with a tangential directional component is applied to the toothed wheel, the force being the result of the interaction between the engaging elements and the supporting body.

    Abstract: A linear motion apparatus is comprised of: a toothed rail (40); a linearly driving mechanism section (50) having a plurality of swinging plates (53), crankshafts (54, 55), and a casing (51); and guiding means for guiding the casing (51) relatively movably with respect to the toothed rail (40). The casing (51) includes: a pair of side portions (61, 62) which are guided by the guiding means on both sides, in a tooth width direction, of the rail (40); a pair of end plate portions (63, 64) which are located on opposite sides, as viewed in a longitudinal direction of the rail (40), of the swinging plates (53) and connect opposite end portions of the pair of side plate portions (61, 62); and a coupling member (521) which is located between the plurality of crankshafts (54, 55) as viewed in the longitudinal direction of the rail and couple intermediate portions of the pair of side plate portions (61, 62). The coupling member (521) is preferably passed through the swinging plates (53). The linear motion apparatus is compact and low-cost, and capable of maintaining a stable state of meshing between swinging plates and a toothed rail even if a compact casing is adopted.

    Abstract: A dual axis transfer mechanism comprising a pair of motors mounted onto a frame for independently rotating a pair of threaded shafts fixed in parallel relation. Each of the shafts is threaded into a carrier member connected to one end of a respective arm, the opposite end of each arm being connected at a common pivot point.

    Abstract: The invention concerns a safety device (1) for an actuator comprising a connection means (2) allowing a connection to a releasable holding means (5). The connection means (2) is fixed via a sacrificing means (3) to a supporting means (4), and a resilient means (7) is acting between the supporting means (4) and a supporting portion (8). An extension means (9) is fixed to the supporting means (4) via the connection means (2). The sacrificing means (3) has a mechanical strength such that the sacrificing means (3) breaks when subjected to a force exceeding a predetermined force, such that the extension means is no longer fixed to the supporting means and that a re-connection of the supporting means (4) and the releasable holding means (5) is made impossible. The predetermined force is lower than the mechanical strength of the extension means (9) and the supporting means (4). A linear actuator (13) comprising the safety device (1) is also provided.
