Abstract:
A structure is achieved capable of ensuring excellent transmission efficiency while preventing the occurrence of gross slipping at traction portions. A pressing device 9 rotationally drives a cam disk 21 by a pressing force adjusting motor 23, which causes an annular roller element 6a of a pair of annular roller elements 6a, 6b to displace in the axial direction. A controller 31, by adjusting the rotational drive of the pressing force adjusting motor 23, adjusts the surface pressure at the traction portions between rolling surfaces 16 of planetary rollers 7 and an inner-diameter side rolling contact surface 5 of an input shaft 3 and outer-diameter side rolling contact surfaces 12a, 12b of the pair of annular roller elements 6a, 6b to a target value.
Abstract:
A multi-stage planetary roller power transmission device includes a high-speed power transmission mechanism including a first sun shaft, a first fixed ring, first planetary rollers disposed between the first sun shaft and the first fixed ring with a first negative clearance, first support shafts, and an annular first carrier into which the first support shafts are press-fitted; and a low-speed power transmission mechanism including a second sun shaft, a second fixed ring, second planetary rollers disposed between the second sun shaft and the second fixed ring with a second negative clearance, second support shafts, and an annular second carrier into which the second support shafts are press-fitted. A clearance amount of the first negative clearance and a clearance amount of the second negative clearance are equal to each other, and the number of the first planetary rollers is smaller than the number of the second planetary rollers.
Abstract:
A friction driven beltless grain spreader system is presented that includes a spreader cone having a pulley and a grain deflector configured to disperse the flow of grain. A motor having a driven wheel and an idler wheel are pivotally connected to the spreader cone in operative engagement with the pulley such that the idler wheel is positioned between the driven wheel and the pulley. A tension member applies a force that pulls the driven wheel and intermediary wheel into the pulley. As the motor rotates the driven wheel rotates the idler wheel which rotates the pulley. When forces spike, such as when the motor is turned on or a heavy flow of grain hits the system, one or more of the driven wheel, intermediary wheel and/or pulley slip with respect to the other wheels thereby preventing breakage of the system.
Abstract:
A friction gearing has housing and a unit housed in the housing, the unit including a first roller, a second roller and rotatable support plates. The first roller and the second roller are in frictional engagement with each other under a radial pressing force. The radial pressing force is variable in response to a change in the radial distance between the first and the second roller. The rotatable support plates support the first and the second rollers and receive a resisting force that is generated when the first and the second rollers come in contact under the pressing force. The unit is received in the housing with the axis of rotation of the first roller radially fixed while the first roller is rotatably supported by the housing.
Abstract:
A clutch mechanism for a tape dispenser, for example, includes a first reel, a second reel, a biasing element, and a friction element. The first and second reels are rotatably disposed on first and second shafts. The biasing element is disposed between the first reel and shaft such that the first reel is movable in a radial direction relative to the first shaft. The friction element includes at least a portion that is disposed between the first reel and the second reel and arranged to generate a first normal force when the first reel is in a first position, relative to the first shaft, and a second normal force when the first reel is in a second position, relative to the first shaft.

Abstract:
The aim of the invention is to further develop a friction ring-type transmission. According to the invention, a friction ring-type transmission comprises two roller bodies which are arranged at a distance from each other about a gap, which correspond to each other via the friction ring and which rotate (5) on axial roller body axes. According to the invention, the friction ring is arranged in an adjusting bridge in such a manner that it can be axially displaced about an adjusting path along the gap and the adjusting bridge is mounted by means of an individual, axial guiding device.
Abstract:
A traction drive transmission has an outer ring 40, a sun roller 10, support rollers 30, and one or more loading rollers 20. The outer ring 40 includes a raceway 42 presented inwardly. The sun roller 10 includes a raceway 12 presented outwardly toward the raceway 42 of the outer ring 40. The sun roller 10 is offset eccentrically with respect to the outer ring 40 so that a wedge gap 112 exists between the raceways 42, 12 of the outer ring 40 and sun roller 10. The support rollers 30 are located between the outer ring 40 and sun roller 10. Each support roller 30 has first and second raceways 36, 38 that have different diameters and contacts the raceway 12 of the sun roller 10 along its first raceway 36 and the raceway 42 of the outer ring 40 along its second raceway 38. Each loading roller 20 is located at the wedge gap 112 between the raceway 42 of the outer ring 40 and the raceway 12 of the sun roller 10. Each loading roller 20 has first and second circular raceways 22, 26 that have different diameters and contacts the raceway 12 of the sun roller 10 along its first raceway 22 and the raceway 42 of the outer ring 40 along its second raceway 26.
