  • Modular reed switch assembly and method for making
    Patent number: 7227436
    Abstract: A modular reed switch assembly and method for making the same are provided. A switch assembly (101) includes a reed switch (206, 106) that is enclosed between a primary reed switch cover (208) and a reed switch base (104) wherein the reed switch cover and reed switch base are recessed to accommodate the reed switch. A secondary reed switch cover (102) further covers the primary reed switch cover (208) and the secondary reed switch cover (102) connects with the reed switch base (104). A protrusion (106) provides access to the electrical contacts (302) of the reed switch (206, 106) through the primary reed switch cover (208) and secondary reed switch covers (102).

  • Thrust bearing for an actuator driving a sensor device
    Patent number: 5388471
    Abstract: A thrust bearing assembly for retaining a ball screw of an actuator in a housing and driving a position sensor in a control system. The thrust bearing assembly has a cylindrical body with an annular radial projection having parallel first and second inner outer race surfaces. Gear teeth are located on the peripheral surface of the radial projection. First and second roller bearing and associated first and second outer races are located on said cylindrical body. A locating plate attached the housing urges the second outer race toward the housing to bring the second roller bearing into engagement with the second inner race and the first inner race into engagement with the first roller bearing and first outer race to fix the position of the ball screw in the housing. The ball screw is connected to receive rotary torque from a drive gear to position a translating ball nut within the housing.
