Abstract: Described is a rotary coupling that includes a pair of coupling bodies having parallel (preferably coincident) rotation axes, two cylindrical elements and a preload mechanism. A gap is provided between surfaces on the first and second coupling bodies. The first cylindrical element is disposed on the first coupling body and has a first cylinder axis, and the second cylindrical element is disposed on the second coupling body adjacent to the first cylindrical element and has a second cylinder axis that is perpendicular to the first cylinder axis. The preload mechanism imparts a force to each of the first and second coupling bodies and thereby preloads the first and second cylindrical elements against each other at a point of contact. One example of the preload mechanism includes a pair of magnets disposed opposite each other across the gap and another example of the preload mechanism includes an air bearing.

Abstract: An impact test device includes a control rail and a carriage assembly moveable along the control rail in a plurality of directions including a first direction and a second direction opposite the first direction. The carriage assembly includes a catch configured to engage the control rail to control movement of the carriage assembly. Movement of the carriage assembly in the first direction urges the catch to disengage from the control rail, and movement of the carriage assembly in the second direction urges the catch to engage the control rail.

Abstract: A capacitive transducer (10) has a housing (12) which receives a variable capacitor (14) in a fluid pressure receiving chamber (12e). A support (20) is received on an annular shoulder (12j) formed in the sidewall (12h) of the housing. The support has inner and outer concentric ring shaped lands (20k, 20l) with the inner ring shaped land engaging the variable capacitor (14) inboard of the outer peripheral edge of the capacitor. A shelf (20d) is formed on the sidewall of the support which receives a first relatively rigid substrate (26a) of a circuit board which has a second relatively rigid substrate (26b) bent through a connecting flexible strip so that the second substrate overlies the first substrate within a circuit receiving chamber (20c). A ratiometric signal conditioning circuit portion 28a and voltage regulating circuit portion 28b are mounted on the circuit board.
