    摘要: A work vehicle having a joint, a joint sensor, a lubricant reservoir, a pump, and a controller. The joint has a first member connected to a second member by a bearing. The joint sensor is configured to provide a joint signal indicative of at least one of a position, velocity, and acceleration of the joint. The pump is configured to dispense lubricant from the lubricant reservoir to the bearing when actuated. The controller receives the joint signal, determines a cumulative bearing travel based on the joint signal, determines a bearing lubrication value based on the cumulative bearing travel, and actuates the pump based on the bearing lubrication value.

    摘要: A bearing arrangement for a bearing seat for a radial bearing adapted to be disposed in an acceleration-proof gyroscope, on which a brief acceleration produced forces act perpendicularly to a rotational axis of the gyroscope. The bearing seat includes a cylindrical half shell, with a longitudinal center axis of the cylinder of the half shell coinciding with a rotational axis of the radial bearing, and with an open side of the half shell facing in a direction in which the acceleration forces act on the radial bearing. An elastic element urges or biases a support ring into the half shell with a preset force, with the elastic element having a spring characteristic such that the support ring and the radial bearing may be lifted out of the half shell when a predetermined acceleration is exceeded.

    摘要: A flexure-pivot for providing resilient restraint that opposes relative angular displacement between two members involves two flat springs, that are held at one end between pairs of pins carried by one member and at the other end between pairs of pins carried by the other member, the flat springs each having two parallel rib portions that are linked at one end and are interlaced with one another. In one form of flexure-pivot the unlinked end of both the rib portions of each spring is secured between a pair of pins carried by one member and the linked end of both the rib portions of each spring is secured between a pair of pins carried by the other member. In another form of flexure-pivot the pairs of pins carried by one member are axially aligned with the pairs of pins carried by the other member, when there is no relative displacement between the members, and the unlinked end of one of the rib portions is secured to one of the pairs of pins carried by one member and the unlinked end of the other one of the rib portions is secured to the axially aligned pair of pins carried by the other member, so that there is a resilient interconnection between the axially aligned pairs of pins. In both forms of flexure-pivot, further pins are mounted with one or other of the members to limit relative angular displacement between the two members by engagement with pairs of pins mounted on an opposite member. Manufacture of both forms of flexure-pivot is initially the same and is carried out by inserting the ends of four pairs of pins in holes in one member, securing each end of the two flat springs between opposite pairs of pins, inserting the other ends of the four pairs of pins in holes in the other member, and brazing the assembly formed to secure the springs to the pins and the pins to the members. One form of flexure-pivot is subsequently formed by cutting two adjacent pairs of pins close to one member and the other two adjacent pairs of pins close to the other member. The other form of flexure-pivot however is formed by cutting through two adjacent pairs of pins at points between the rib portions and cutting through the other two adjacent pairs of pins at one point close to one member and at another point close to the other member.

    摘要: A bearing assembly for use in supporting a gyro rotor in a missile during flight in a missile trajectory. During acceleration, the rear race is supported by a mounting plate. Ball bearings held in a cup shaped annular retainer support a hemispherical outer bearing race of the rotor for rotation around the stator during deceleration. A pin secures the rotor in place during shipment or storage and is sheared during missile acceleration.

    摘要: A gyro rotor having continuous circumferential grooves and a plurality of pockets formed in the surface thereof is contained within a housing having an inner surface juxtaposed with the rotor surface. The grooves, pockets and the spaces adjacent thereto are filled with a heavy liquid having a high surface tension to form liquid rings and pads. The liquid is captivated in the rings and pads by meniscuses formed between the juxtaposed surfaces. The rings neutrally float the rotor and the meniscuses around the pads center the rotor within the housing.

    摘要: The invention is directed to a proof body such as a gyroscope in which the spin axis is constrained to the housing or vehicle by five pairs of orthogonally disposed wire pairs. The tension force each wire exerts on the gyroscope is sensed by determining the frequency of transverse vibration in each wire. The acceleration along three orthogonal axes and the rate of turn about two axes is obtained by processing the vibration-frequency data so as to solve the relationship: Tension K(frequency)2, for each wire. A tension control servo means is utilized for comparing the vibration frequency of the wire opposite a tension transducer with a precision reference frequency. The resulting error signal is used to activate the tension transducer so as to maintain a constant frequency (and tension) in the opposite wire under all acceleration and rate conditions. Consequently, the strain in the opposite wire of each pair will remain constant and the axes orientation of the gyroscope will remain fixed while the other wire of each pair will be vibrating at a frequency which will be proportional to the forces acting on the gyroscope. Means are provided for sensing this frequency and for providing an output signal which is proportional to the acting force. An accelerometer proof mass can be substituted for the gyroscope as a proof body with a resultant loss in rate sensing.
