Abstract: A torque limiter for an office machine includes a planetary differential. Its sun and ring gear are limited in their degree of rotational speed difference by a hysterisis magnetic coupling. The hysterisis coupling is formed as two concentric cylinders with space between them. Selected portions of the hysterisis coupling may be magnetized to alter the coupling's characteristics.
Abstract: A one-way clutch that employs spaced apart magnetic members to draw rollers into portions of a cam surface so that a shaft and race will rotate as one.
