Abstract
A mechanical demultiplexer includes a demultiplexing drive shaft assembly extending along a drive axis driven by a power source: a plurality of output modules coupled to a frame along a demultiplexing drive shaft, where the demultiplexing drive shaft is engageable to the output modules by a drive nut, where the drive nut is coupled to the output modules along the demultiplexing drive shaft; the mechanical demultiplexer is adapted to selectively and individually engage the number of output modules to the demultiplexing drive shaft such that the demultiplexing drive shaft powers the number of engaged output modules. In addition to a drive nut, the demultiplexing drive shaft assembly includes: a power element that transmits rotation about a drive axis to the drive nut; a guide element that advances the drive nut along the drive axis; and a guide element for linearly translating the drive nut relative to the drive shaft without rotation; preferably, all the components are powered by a power source.
