Patent number: 7066063Abstract: A turret of a lathe has a power transmission that is used for moving a tool Disk secured on a shaft to a secured position where the disk is engaged with a clutch. The transmission includes a piston, and a force multiplier unit, which includes a ring, a sleeve secured to the piston, and steel beads. The ring has first sloping trenches. The sleeve has sloping trenches that are less steep and opposing the first trenches, and has recesses connected to the trenches. The steel beads are held in respective ones of the spaces defined by the sloping trenches and the recesses, and are positioned next to a gear secured on the shaft such that when the piston is actuated for moving the tool disk towards the secured position, the steel beads will push the gear with multiplied force output while being rolled along the sloping trenches.Type: GrantFiled: May 7, 2004Date of Patent: June 27, 2006Assignee: Factory Automation Technology Co., Ltd.Inventor: Yung-Hsiang Lu
