Marine Ram-Type Steering Gears Maintainability Increasing

Abstract

The structure of steering gear’s HATLAPA mechanism is analyzed. It is shown that presence of redundant constraints in it increases laboriousness of gear montage and respectively worsen maintainability. On the basis of provided analysis developed mechanism with reduced more than twice redundant constrainsts number.

Improvement of Bicycle Ball-Type Overrunning Clutch Operation

“…Such devices transmit the torque not due to friction, but by the engagement of the balls with the working surfaces of the special grooves of the driving and driven half-couplings. This completely eliminates sliding of the contacting surfaces and allows one to avoid the consequences of wear discussed in [15,16]. In turn, the service life of the freewheel can be significantly increased.…”
