    摘要: A reverse-input blocking clutch, comprising a pressed member, an input member, an output member, and an engaging element, the pressed member including a first pressed member element having a pressed surface around an inner peripheral surface thereof and a second pressed member element having a mounting portion fixed to a portion that does not rotate during use, the engaging element configured to transmit rotational torque input to the input member to the output member by moving in a direction away from the pressed surface and to completely block rotational torque reversely input to the output member or transmit a part of the rotational torque reversely input to the output member to the input member and block a remaining part thereof.

    摘要: A mechanical backstop is provided which comprises a housing, an input impact gear, a frictional plate, a floating impact gear, and an output impact gear. The floating impact gear is movably mounted between the input impact gear and the output impact gear to achieve transmission. The frictional plate is fixed relative to the housing and disposed at a side of the floating impact gear close to the input impact gear. When the input impact gear transmits a torque to the floating impact gear, the floating impact gear floats toward the output impact gear to separate from the frictional plate and transmit the torque to the output impact gear. When the floating impact gear transmits a torque reversely, the floating impact gear floats toward the input impact gear to abut against the frictional plate and achieve reverse locking.

    摘要: Provided is a clutch unit in which an output-side outer ring member is attached to a base plate without welding. A clutch unit (100) includes an output-side clutch (60) and a housing (11) that accommodates the output-side clutch (60). The output-side clutch (60) includes an output-side outer ring member (62). The output-side outer ring member (62) and the housing (11) have an engagement protrusion (62s) and an engagement groove (11s) that engage with each other to restrict relative rotation therebetween.

    摘要: An example rotational joint assembly for a robotic medical system, the rotational joint assembly comprising at least one arm segment and a rotational joint provided at one end of the arm segment. The rotational joint is to allow the arm segment to rotate about a rotational axis. The rotational joint comprising a brake to lock rotation of the arm segment at the rotational joint and an actuator to selectively engage or disengage the brake. The actuator comprising a cam having two stable regions separated by two transition regions, the two stable regions comprising a first stable region corresponding to engagement of the brake and a second stable region corresponding to disengagement of the brake.

    摘要: A slipper clutch transmission brake includes a clutch housing, a pin, a slipper clutch outer race rotationally fixed in the clutch housing, a slipper clutch inner race, a plurality of first cylindrical rollers, and a clutch inner ring. The clutch housing has a radial aperture and the pin is disposed in the radial aperture. The outer race has inner bidirectional ramps arranged on an inner circumference. The inner race has outer bidirectional ramps arranged on an outer circumference, a notch for receiving the pin, and a split extending axially through its width. The plurality of first cylindrical rollers are arranged in respective gaps formed between the inner and outer bidirectional ramps. The inner ring is arranged to rotate relative to the slipper clutch inner race when the pin is engaged with the notch, and frictionally engage with the slipper clutch inner race when the pin is disengaged from the notch.

    摘要: A brake-side clutch part includes an outer ring whose rotation is restricted and an output shaft from which rotation is output. The outer ring is provided with a slide gear that meshes with the output shaft when rotational torque is cut off and releases a meshing state with the output shaft when rotational torque is transmitted. The output shaft is provided with an inner gear that meshes with the slide gear so as to be slightly rotatable. An alignment part that aligns a phase of the inner gear with that of the slide gear when rotational torque is cut off, and a centering part that returns the inner gear to a neutral position with respect to the output shaft when rotational torque is transmitted are provided between the inner gear and the output shaft.

    摘要: The reverse input cutoff clutch includes: a pressed member having a pressed surface around the inner peripheral surface; an input member coaxially arranged with the pressed surface and having an input-side engaging portion arranged on the radially inner side of the pressed surface; an output member coaxially arranged with the pressed surface and having an output-side engaging portion arranged further on the radially inner side than the input-side engaging portion; and an engaging element arranged so as to be movable in a first direction as a direction toward or away from the pressed surface on the radially inner side of the pressed surface. The engaging element has a main engaging element body having a pressing surface and a pivot-support shaft, and a link member. The link member has a first end portion pivotally linked to the pivot-support shaft, and a second end portion pivotally linked to the input-side engaging portion.
