Abstract: Actuating cylinder including a longitudinal cylinder body, a longitudinal cylinder rod traversing a front transverse wall of the cylinder body and a longitudinal means of operating the cylinder rod relative to the cylinder body, the cylinder body including a rear transverse wall situated at a distance from a rear end of the cylinder rod inside the body. The cylinder includes a sensor supported by a front end portion of the cylinder rod; longitudinally deformable linking means to delimit a longitudinal channel of variable length coupling the front end portion of the cylinder rod and the rear transverse wall of the cylinder body and emerging at the rear of this rear transverse wall; and at least one electric connecting wire which is connected to the sensor, which extends in the longitudinal channel and which emerges via the rear end of this longitudinal channel.

Abstract: Actuating device comprising a longitudinal shaft (2), an intermediate tailstock spindle (3), an outside sleeve (4), internal thread means (5) making it possible to connect the longitudinal shaft and the intermediate tailstock spindle to generate an axial movement of one with respect to the other, external thread means (6) making it possible to couple the intermediate tailstock spindle and the outside sleeve and suitable for generating an axial movement of one with respect to the other, the said internal coupling means comprising internal roller elements (7) engaged on the one hand with the external and internal threads of the intermediate tailstock spindle and/or the said external coupling means comprising external roller elements (25) engaged on the one hand with the external thread of the intermediate tailstock spindle and the internal thread of the outside sleeve and comprising coupling means making it possible to couple the shaft and the intermediate tailstock spindle or the intermediate tailstock spindle

Abstract: Actuator device comprising a support (2); a longitudinal drive rod (8), part of the rear end (9) of which is mounted and rotates inside the support, and of which a front end section (17) has an external screw thread (18) and on its annular section, gear teeth (19); a longitudinal sheath (39) positioned around and coaxially to the drive rod has an internal screw thread; a series of rollers (28) positioned longitudinally between the drive rod and the sheath and having an external screw thread engaged with the external screw thread of the drive rod and with the internal screw thread of the sheath, and gear teeth engaged with the gear teeth of the drive rod. The helix angle of the screw thread of the rollers is equal to the screw thread helix angle of the screw thread of the drive rod, and different from the helix angle of the screw thread of the sheath.

Abstract: Screw-nut device of rolling bearing type comprising a screw (V) and a nut (E) with multiple threads, of identical pitch. The consecutive threads (I, II) have, on the screw (V) and on the nut (E), intervals (a+.delta., a-.delta.) varying in repetitive manner with a periodicity corresponding to the pitch, changing of the position of assembly of the screw (V) with respect to the nut (E) making it possible, with the same constituent elements, to cause the conditions of contact of the rolling elements (B) with the threads of the nut (E) and of the screw (V) to vary.
