  • ANGULAR CONTACT BALL RAMPS FOR DRIVEN TURBOCHARGER
    Publication number: 20180106347
    Abstract: Disclosed is a planetary traction drive for a driven turbocharger that utilizes angular contact ball ramps to provide variable clamping depending on torque throughput. The ball ramps are located between ring rollers and a ring gear, and function to locate the ring gear concentrically to the ring rollers. The angled contact axes of the ball ramps allows use of a low conformity contact between the balls and ball races in the ball ramps to provide efficient movement, while simultaneously locating ring gear concentrically to the traction rings.

  • TRACTION DRIVE FUEL CELL PUMP
    Publication number: 20170365866
    Abstract: Disclosed is an air pump for a fuel cell that utilizes a speed-reduction traction drive so that a low speed electric motor can be used to drive a high-speed rotodynamic compressor. The rotodynamic compressor is an efficient air pump, but operates at high speeds that would require a specialized high-speed electric motor. The speed-reduction traction drive couples to the compressor and provides a low-speed output that is connected to a lower speed electric motor.
