Abstract

A push button switch assembly for a vehicle includes an elastic button that is moveable between a first unactuated position and a second actuated position. An actuator is disposed adjacent a plate and is pivotable between a first position and a second position. The actuator includes a magnetic element. When the elastic button is in the first unactuated position the magnetic element biases the actuator into the first position, and when the elastic button is moved to the second actuated position, a force applied to the elastic button is transmitted to the actuator such that the force overcomes the magnetic attraction and permits the actuator to pivot to the second position while providing a tactile haptic response. When the actuator is moved to the second position, a hall sensor senses a change in the magnetic field of the magnetic element.

The damper unit is movable in response to hydraulic pressure force upon the damper unit. The actuator includes a pneumatic pressure source for providing a pneumatic pressure force that is transferred to provide the hydraulic pressure force upon the damper unit. The actuator includes a selectively actuatable blocking device for permitting transfer of the pneumatic pressure force from the pneumatic pressure source and blocking return of force to the pneumatic pressure source until the selectively actuatable blocking device is actuated.

Abstract

A torque transfer limiting arrangement includes a housing, an input drive shaft, an output drive shaft, and an output cam plate having a plurality of ball ramps with a plurality of balls for transmitting input torque to the output cam plate. A stator assembly is rotatably fixed relative to the housing, and includes at least one stator friction disc. A rotor assembly includes at least one rotor friction disc rotatable relative to the stator friction disc. A sensing spring permits axial displacement of the output cam plate when the input torque exceeds a predetermined maximum limit, whereupon the plurality of balls in the ball ramps cause axial displacement of the output cam to thereby drive the clutch into an engaged state causing relative rotation between the rotor and stator friction discs for isolating and frictionally dissipating the input torque.

Abstract

A linear actuator system is described that includes a linear actuator, a first motor, and a second motor. The linear actuator is configured to transmit rotational motion to linear motion. The first motor is operatively connected to the linear actuator. The second motor is also operatively connected to the linear actuator. The first motor is configured to provide a different amount of force and a different speed to the linear actuator than the second motor. Methods of operating a linear actuator are also disclosed.

Abstract

One or more magnets are mounted on the rotor of a motor/actuator and analog Hall Effect sensors are mounted on the stator of the motor actuator to provide the necessary feedback for both speed and position control of the rotor. The feedback system includes signal conditioning circuitry for conditioning the sinusoidal signal produced by the magnet and the Hall Effect sensors and a tracking converter observer algorithm executing on the system microprocessor to produce controlled motion. The controller (and other electronics) may be integrated into the housing of the motor or actuator to provide a compact, efficient system for use in a number of applications.

Abstract

A card cage configured to hold a set of electronics cards comprises a set of walls having an input and an output and a set of flow paths formed in the set of walls to enable a fluid to flow therein. The set of flow paths includes a first flow path formed between the input and the output and in first wall from the set of walls and a second flow path formed between the input and the output and in a second wall from the set of walls. The first flow path and the second flow path are substantially the same length and a fluid flowing therein experiences substantially the same pressure drop.

Abstract

An actuator and flap arrangement includes a flap, movable relative to a support structure, and two actuators. Each actuator has a portion fixed relative to the support structure, a portion movable relative to the fixed portion and connected to the flap for transfer of motor force to flap upon movement of the movable portion, and a motor for moving the movable portion relative to the fixed portion. The arrangement also includes a device interconnecting the two actuators for transferring motive force between the two actuators.
