  • Patent number: 4618471
    Abstract: A safety device to be applied to the vertical displacement of, for example, the control rods of a nuclear reactor, comprises the combination of a stator placed on the outside upper part of an impervious, nonmagnetic cylinder within the inside of which a rotor is mounted about its shaft, free in axial translation, with the shaft rotatable with the rotor but fixed in translation, and with the rotation of the shaft transferred to a hollow threaded rod which will transfer rotation to a nut slidable vertically inside the cylinder, supporting the control rods therebelow; the rotor also controlling the opening and closing of a jaw for holding and releasing the hollow threaded rod.
