    Abstract: An actuator is provided for reconfiguring a reversibly expandable structure, also referred to as a deployable structure. The deployable structure includes an enclosed mechanical linkage capable of transformation between expanded and collapsed configurations while maintaining its shape. An actuator coupled to the deployable structure provides a load, force or torque for actuating a transformation. The actuated deployable structure transfers the actuation force to an external body substances, or element in contact with the deployable structure. The force can be directed inwardly or outwardly depending upon direction of the transformation (i.e., expanding or contracting). The force provided by the deployable structure can be used to perform work by its application over at least a portion of the distance traveled by a perimeter of the deployable structure during its transformation. In some embodiments, the actuatable deployable structure is lockable structure supporting a static load.

    Abstract: A balance ring for a component (1) rotating about a rotation axis (3), for example a tool holder for a rotating tool or else a machine spindle or the like, is proposed. The balance ring has an annular body (11) which is rotationally symmetrical with respect to an axis of rotational symmetry, a guide arrangement (13) guiding the annular body (11) in a radially movable but axially fixed manner on the component (1) with an axis of rotational symmetry essentially parallel to the rotation axis (3) of the component (1), and a plurality of adjusting elements (21) arranged in the circumferential direction of the annular body (11), preferably at equal angular distances from one another, radially supported between the annular body (11) and the component (1) and having a variable radial supporting length. The guide arrangement may be designed as an axially extending spring link arrangement or else as spring webs extending in the circumferential direction. Instead of the adjusting screws (21), electrically controllable actuators, such as, for example, piezoelectric elements or nanotube elements, may also be provided.

    Abstract: An eccentricity control device, suitable for use as a slide stroke control device in a press, has a rotary shaft including an eccentric member mounting portion, and an eccentric member mounted on the eccentric member mounting portion. The eccentric member has an outer peripheral surface which is at an eccentricity from the axis of the rotary shaft and sliding surfaces which are held in sliding engagement with both side surfaces of the eccentric member holding portion of the rotary shaft. A screw rod is screwed into the eccentric member mounting portion and extends through the eccentric member mounting portion in a direction perpendicular to the axis of the rotary shaft. The screw rod has both ends rotatably supported by the eccentric member such that a rotation of the screw shaft causes the eccentric member to move in the axial direction of the screw rod together with the screw rod, thereby causing a change in the amount of eccentricity of the outer peripheral surface of the eccentric member with respect to the axis of the rotary member.
