Patent number: 7834499Abstract: A motor assembly (10) includes a permanent magnet DC motor (16) having a shaft (24) mounted for rotation with a face gear pinion (26) associated with the shaft. A jack shaft and clutch assembly (18) is associated with the face gear pinion and is constructed and arranged to prevent back drive of the motor under certain operating conditions. A spur or helical pinion (40) is operatively associated with the jack shaft and clutch assembly. A drive member (56) is operatively associated with the spur or helical pinion such that movement of the shaft and face gear pinion moves the spur or helical pinion to drive the drive member. A housing structure is defined by an upper housing (14) joined with a lower housing (12). The motor, the face gear pinion, the jack shaft and clutch assembly, the spur or helical pinion and the drive member are housed within the housing structure.

Patent number: 7377195Abstract: A power take-off unit for a transaxle is provided with a unique double enveloping worm/worm gear transmission which has a ratio of the number of gear teeth on the worm gear to the number of threads on the worm which is low. The worm/worm gear transmission is more compact than conventional bevel gear systems which have typically been used in power take-off unit applications. The worm and worm gear transmission of the present invention also is quieter in operation and has a higher torque capacity than standard bevel gears of comparable size.Type: GrantFiled: December 11, 2002Date of Patent: May 27, 2008Assignee: Magna Powertrain USA, Inc.Inventor: Yakov Fleytman

Patent number: 7318785Abstract: A differential includes a carrier and worm gear assembly that cooperate to provide speed differentiation between first and second output shafts as needed. The carrier is coupled to an axle input gear, such as a ring gear for example, or a transmission shaft.

Publication number: 20060090340Abstract: Face enveloping gears are machined by face milling type cutting tool or gear shaper. This process includes the following steps: positioning of the cutting tool in tangential relation relative to the meshing enveloping pinion thread with face gear by the smallest pitch diameter of threads with face gear teeth; turning rotating cutter relative to axis of rotation of an imaginary enveloping wheel until generating tooth is on the outer circle of the face gear. For generation of enveloping pinion the complementary cutting tool has additional motion around axis of pinion rotation. In another method tooth shaper or helical hob rotating tool rotates around axis of rotation of a theoretical generating gear for enveloping pinion with a predetermined relative motion to axis of rotation of work gear. This reduces production cost and makes manufacturing easier.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 3, 2004Publication date: May 4, 2006Inventor: Yakov Fleytman
