  • Patent number: 12049929
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a belt pulley decoupler for transmitting torque between the belt of a belt drive and a shaft in driving connection therewith. The belt pulley decoupler includes a hub, a belt pulley, and a series circuit of a helical torsion spring, a wrap-around band, which surrounds the helical torsion spring with a radial gap, and a driver sleeve, which surrounds the wrap-around band and transmits the torque between the wrap-around band and the helical torsion spring. An outer periphery of the wrap-around band is in frictional contact with an inner lateral surface, which rotates conjointly with the belt pulley, and the outer periphery of the wrap-around band is also in frictional contact with the inner lateral surface of the driver sleeve. An end of the helical torsion spring is in contact with a radially inwardly extending spring plate of the driver sleeve.

  • Patent number: 8084903
    Abstract: A connector arrangement is provided for supplying electric power to a three-phase motor to produce motor operation in either a delta mode or a star mode, use being made of modular units that are removably mounted within a chamber contained in an outer frame that is secured to the motor housing. A power supply module arranged within the chamber includes a main receptacle containing a stack of terminal blocks having bus bars that transmit to the motor windings three-phase power that is supplied either by external power supply lines that extend into the chamber though openings contained in the side walls of the outer frame, or from an inverter arranged externally of the outer frame. Auxiliary receptacles are removably connected with the external surface of the main receptacle for monitoring the operating condition of the motor, or for controlling a motor operation, such as braking.
