  • Patent number: 9834419
    Abstract: A linear driving device with load dependent clamping capability with a reference driving element and a moveable driving element. The linear driving device being arranged for driving an elongated element located between the reference driving element and the moveable driving element at least one of which is powered to apply an axial force (Fa) and a clamping force (Fc) to the elongated element to drive it. The device includes at least one pivoting lever attached to the reference driving element by a first rotation axis and to the moveable driving element by a second rotation axis. When the elongated element is driven, the at least one pivoting lever is arranged so that the magnitude of the clamping force (Fc) depends on a predetermined angle (a) defined between a perpendicular direction to the axial force (Fa) and a reaction force passing through the first and second rotations axes.

  • Patent number: 7384239
    Abstract: The drive device is provided for inclusion in a windmill with two counter-rotating screws. The shafts of the screws are each connected to a spindle of an epicyclical gearbox, the third spindle providing the energy for the user. The device further comprises a brake device simultaneously acting on the two shafts of the screws. In particular, said device permits the installation of a second screw on a windmill mast designed for a single screw on a windmill mast designed for a single screw, thus greatly increasing the power supplied.
