  • Heatsink design with thermal insulator to reduce encoder temperature
    Patent number: 9543811
    Abstract: An electric motor assembly including a housing, an electric motor supported in a motor compartment of the housing, an encoder operatively coupled to the electric motor and supported in an encoder compartment of the housing, and a heat sink surrounding at least a portion of the encoder, the heat sink in thermal contact with an end cap of the housing at least partially defining the encoder compartment, whereby the heat sink is adapted to absorb heat from the encoder and conduct heat to the end cap.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 14, 2012
    Date of Patent: January 10, 2017
    Assignee: Rockwell Automation Technologies, Inc.
    Inventors: Simin Jiang, Steven Herrmann, Gregory J. Gozola

  • Transfer device metering apparatus and methods
    Patent number: 8011495
    Abstract: A product metering apparatus (10) includes a first product conveyance mechanism (12) conveying product in a continuous stream. A platform (42) supports product and is movable along a closed path between a loading position adjacent to the first product conveyance mechanism (12) and a transfer position adjacent to an output in the form of a second product conveyance mechanism (22) spaced from the first product conveyance mechanism (12) in the conveying direction. The platform (42) in the loading position receives the product in the continuous stream from the first product conveyance mechanism (12) and is then accelerated to a speed greater than the first product conveyance mechanism (12) creating a gap between the product supported on the platform (42) and the product remaining in the continuous stream on the first product conveyance mechanism (12).
    Type: Grant
