Segmented flexible units with mechanical connectors enable rapid prototyping of arbitrary shapes without time-consuming master molds.
Nesting an engine clutch inside a motor rotor reduces the axial length of a dual clutch device while maintaining power transmission efficiency.
A combined starter-generator device reduces component count by merging the starter motor and alternator into one unit sharing a common mounting arrangement.
Axial support plate stabilizes pendular flyweights in torsion damping devices for motor vehicle couplings.
Intersecting leaf-spring sections decouple wobbling and prevent compression while transmitting high torques in vehicle drive trains.
Integrating centrifugal pendulum absorbers with turbine dampers boosts torsional vibration insulation while reducing assembly space and manufacturing costs.
A cam-driven flywheel transforms translational acceleration into rotational inertia, suppressing chatter in pressure relief valves without adding moving mass.
Deformable compensation masses offset flat return torque during pitch variations, reducing hydraulic reliance and bearing stress in rotorcraft tail rotors.
Centrifugal brake bypasses generator during high-speed events to transmit damping force directly to the housing.
An angular displacement mechanism moves a torque-limiting clutch assembly to mechanically decouple the system when torsional energy exceeds capacity.
A torque converter uses a centering flange and piston plate to align the input shaft without an output hub.
