Abstract: An overload clutch (A) has an axially movable ring (52) with cavities (58) seating torque transmitting balls (100b) retained in seating cavities (100a) in a sheave mount (96), the cavities (100a) being larger than the cavities (58). The balls (100b) may be retained on the sheave mount (96) either by a cage (88) with tapered holes (100c) or by a carrier ring (168) with clearance holes (100d) and a retaining plate (170) (Figure 2). The ring (52) may be moved by fluid pressure in a cylinder (10) overcoming the reaction of springs (78).

Abstract: An apparatus (10) is disclosed including a friction clutch (12) and an overload apparatus (14) having their output sides connected to an output (18) and their input sides connected in parallel to an input (16) in a first preferred form and their input sides connected to an auxiliary drive (19) and the input (16), respectively, in another preferred form. Encoders (20, 22) are provided for separately detecting the rotational positions of the input (16) and the output (18). A microcomputer controller (580) controls actuation of the friction clutch (12) and the overload apparatus (14) in response to the rotational positions detected by the encoders (20, 22) allowing the clutch (12) to bring the output (18) to be generally aligned with a select rotational position of the input (16) at which time the overload apparatus (14) can be actuated to rotatably relate the input (16) and the output (18) at the select rotational position and actuation of the clutch (12) can be removed. The microcomputer controller (580) also removes actuation of the overload apparatus (14) when the encoders (20, 22) detect rotation of the input (16) relative to the output (18) from the select rotational position. In the most preferred form, the encoders (20, 22) include codewheels (500, 501) rotatable with the input (16) and the output (18), respectively, and relative to slotted optical switches (502-505), with the codewheels (500, 501) including 64 evenly spaced slots which rotate past the slotted optical switches (502-505).

Abstract: A rotary fluid displacement apparatus (100) with an orbiting toothed ring member (30) is shown with an improved casing (60) and rolling support between the faces of the valve discs (46, 47) and the first and second fluid transfer elements (21, 35). Particularly, needle bearings (106, 112) are sandwiched between thrust washers (108, 114) and then between the valve discs (46, 47) and the fluid transfer elements (21, 35), with one of the needle bearings (106) being piloted in an annular groove (110) formed in the annular plate (23) of the first fluid transfer element (21) and the other of the needle bearings (112) being piloted on the hub (35') of the second fluid transfer element (35). The casing (60) includes two pieces, i.e. a generally cylindrical portion (62) and an end cap (64). The portion (62) includes four cavities (70, 72, 74, 76), with the hub (35') of the second fluid transfer element (35) being in a sliding, rotatable, and sealing relation with the axially inner cavity (76) and the end cap (64) being in sliding and sealing relation with the axially outer cavity (70). The end cap (64) includes a cavity (90) for slideably, rotatably, and sealing receipt of the hub (24) of the first fluid transfer element (21). Fluid communication is allowed axially through the end cap (64) by an axially extending fluid conduit (94) intersecting with the cavity (90) of the end cap (64) and by an axially extending fluid port (98) which intersects with first and second axially extending fluid bores (82, 96) formed in the generally cylindrical portion (62) and the end cap (64) which in turn intersects with a radially extending fluid conduit (80) terminating in the axially inner cavity (76).

Abstract: Device (200) for releasing fluid pressure from the pressure chamber of an overload clutch (A) is disclosed including a valve (210) captured in a radial cavity (202) in the cylinder (10) of the overload clutch (A) between a shoulder (204) and a valve cover (212) held by a snap ring (226). The valve cover (212) includes an aperture (228) for receiving a ball (230) and allowing the ball (230) to move radially inwardly to push against the spool member (220) of the valve (210) to unseat its head (221) from a seat (218) but preventing the ball (230) from moving out of the valve cover (212). The ball (230) rolls on a valve actuator (232) mounted to the piston (22). When the cylinder (10) and piston (22) are axially separated by fluid pressure, the ball (230) is located in a detent (234) formed in the valve actuator (232) such that the head (221) of the spool member (220) seals with the seat (218) and prevents release of fluid pressure from the pressure chamber. When the cylinder (10) and the piston (22) move axially against the normal bias direction of the fluid pressure, the ball (230) rolls out of the detent (234) and pushes against the spool member (220) to unseat the head (221) from the valve seat (218). In the most preferred form, the valve actuator (232) is adjustably mounted to the piston (22) by a turnbuckle (238), with the valve actuator (232) and the turnbuckle (238) formed of hexagonal stock for receipt in a wrench.

Abstract: A torque and/or rotational control apparatus is disclosed in a preferred form of a brake (10) including a plurality of pairs of actuators (18) positioned on opposite sides of a friction disc (16) by spacers (120) having tear shaped cross sections. The pads (32) of the actuators (18) are removably held by a slideable locking pin (70) biased by a spring (80) into an aperture (68) of a backing plate (62) for the pad (32). A notch (64) formed in the pad (32) and the backing plate (62) is slideably received on a rail (66) axially extending from the housing (35) of the actuator (18) to prevent rotation about the locking pin (70). The friction disc (16) includes elongated and shortened fins (42, 43) upstanding between and equally circumferentially spaced intermediate first and second component discs (40, 41). The fins (42, 43) are free of circumferential interconnections to allow air to radially pass freely between the fins (42, 43). The elongated fins (42) extend generally tangentially from the inner edges of the component discs (40, 41). The spacers (120) are orientated with their lengths extending generally perpendicular to the fins (42, 43) and generally parallel to the air movement from between the component discs (40, 41). The shape and orientatin of the spacers (120) promote laminar flow and reduce air turbulence to increase air flow around the spacers (120) and through the friction disc (16) and the brake (10).
