  • Self-binding non-jamming stop module for rotary drive actuator
    Patent number: 11808332
    Abstract: A rotary actuator has a stop module configured to mechanically link two gear stages travelling at different rotational speeds when an end-of-stroke travel limit is reached, thereby causing the rotary actuator to bind because relative motion between the gear stages is impeded.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 24, 2020
    Date of Patent: November 7, 2023
    Assignee: Moog Inc.

  • Hub mounted vibration suppression system
    Patent number: 10308355
    Abstract: An improved vibration control actuation system for a rotary-wing aircraft having a plurality of rotor blades mounted to a rotor hub and driven about a central axis of rotation at an operational speed and in a rotational direction relative to a non-rotating body of the aircraft comprising a vibration control frame adapted to be mounted to the hub and to rotate relative to the hub about the central axis in a rotational direction opposite to the rotational direction of the hub, a frame motor configured to rotate the frame about the central axis, the frame supporting first and second motors configured to rotate first and second masses about first and second axes not concentric with the central axis, and a controller for receiving input signals and outputting command signals to the first and second motors.
