Variable transmitting torque cancels mechanical load on small diameter drums, preventing tangling and ensuring smooth automatic weight dropping.
Partial arc raceways reduce weight and space requirements while maintaining rotational balance and overrun functionality.
A conical clutch actuator uses rotating plates and wedge washers to compress friction elements.
An aluminum wire field coil assembly reduces moving mass and production costs while maintaining electromagnetic force transmission.
Magnetic fields drive a translator structure between stable positions to eliminate hydraulic complexity and reduce parasitic losses in vehicular transmissions.
A clutch assembly uses dual cam sets and electromagnetic coils to control engagement states.
Spiral channels in the retainer wall interlock with the shaft to eliminate lash and binding, enabling reliable park assist features.
Replacing worn brushes with inductive power transfer eliminates contact friction, ensuring reliable aerospace clutch operation and extended service life.
