Abstract:
A planetary friction gear is enabled to make it possible to transmit comparatively great torque densities while providing a very high degree of smoothness of operation, preventing the unwanted slip-stick behavior in friction gears. The inventive gear is particularly suitable for actuators used in the immediate vicinity of humans in everyday life.
Abstract:
Actuator adapted to cooperate with a drive of an endothermic engine including power source and a releasable accessory, the actuator including a box-shaped casing, a motorized eccentric group housed inside the casing and including a reduction gearing, an arm cooperating with the eccentric group and supporting a friction wheel adapted to cooperate with the accessory and with the power source, the arm being mobile between an engaged position and a disengaged position of the accessory.
Abstract:
A friction wheel drive for an internal combustion engine's a unit belt drive for a secondary unit includes a control system, a friction wheel that engages frictionally with an outer side of a belt in a wrap-around portion of a drive wheel of the internal combustion engine and that is controlled by the control system to engage or disengage frictionally with a drive wheel of the secondary unit, and a guidance system having an arc section for guiding the movement of the friction wheel with the control system. The arc section is arranged equidistant from the axis of rotation of the drive or driven wheel relative to the driven wheel to the outside of the belt in the wrap-around portion for turning the secondary unit on and off.
Abstract:
A planetary roller type power transmission device has a first rotary shaft and a second rotary shaft which are arranged coaxially, a sun roller connected to the first rotary shaft, a stationary outer ring disposed concentrically with the sun roller, and a plurality of planet rollers disposed in the annular space between the sun roller and the stationary outer ring, the planet rollers being carried by a carrier rotatable as a unit with the second rotary shaft. The power transmission device further has a pair of mutually opposing flange-like projections formed on the outer peripheral surface of the stationary outer ring so as to pass positions adjacent to respective axial ends of the area of contact between the planet rollers and the stationary outer ring, and a tightening means operable from the outside of the transmission device and adapted to urge the flange-like projections towards each other thereby causing elastic deformation of the stationary outer ring. The levels of contact pressure between the sun roller and the planet rollers and between the planet rollers and the stationary outer ring are controlled by adjustment of the amount of tightening by the tightening means.
Abstract:
A friction transmission having at least one friction disc formed as a rotating presser cylinder of a piston firmly connected with the associated shaft, with load-dependent hydraulic generation of the pressing forces, where at least on one transmission shaft a sensor is arranged for the torque transmitted there. The sensor, due to a torque-dependent movement of at least two valve parts in relation to one another, generates a torque-dependent hydraulic pressure and the necessary load-dependent hydraulic pressing force is generated exclusively by this pressure.
Abstract:
This invention has for purpose to improve the conditions of the tightening of the friction elements in a speed variator intended in particular to be employed in an automobile vehicle.It resides mainly in the use of a piston and cylinder assembly as means for pre-tightening the friction elements, this assembly defining a pressure chamber which is connected to the lubrication oil supply pump and to a relatively small-section discharge path. This arrangement permits modulating the pressure of the pre-tightening over a wide range in principle as a function of the temperature of the oil. Preferably, there is also provided a further correction as a function of the speed ratio established in the variator.
Abstract:
A variable speed friction drive transmission wherein the contact pressures between the drive elements are varied by means of a pressure regulator responsive to changes in the slippage between the drive elements and the torque load on the driven shaft.
