Abstract: A mechanical clutch allows for transfer of torque downhole that may avoid the need for a hydraulic electrical coil-driven piston. In one or more examples, an anti-rotation guide for a downhole clutch includes a guide track and a follower moveable along the guide track for guiding relative movement between an upper armature and a lower armature. The guide track includes an axially-extending portion terminating in a circumferential loop. The axially extending portion guides the upper armature into axial engagement with the lower armature in response to rotation of the input shaft. The circumferential loop thereafter allows rotation of the upper and lower armatures together in response to further rotation of the input shaft.

Abstract: An actuator of a downhole tool used in oil and gas exploration and production operations is operable to actuate a first implement in a first direction. A biasing device of the downhole tool is operable to actuate the first implement in a second direction, opposite the first direction. A dampener of the downhole tool is operable to slow an actuation speed of the first implement in the first direction, the second direction, or both. Actuating the first implement in the first direction also actuates a second implement of a flow control device (“FCD”) of the downhole tool, to which the first implement is connected, in the first direction, placing the FCD in a first (e.g., open) configuration. Actuating the first implement in the second direction also actuates the second implement of the FCD in the second direction, placing the FCD in a second (e.g., closed) configuration.
