  • Patent number: 8915351
    Abstract: A work piece conveying apparatus capable of conveying plural work pieces with differing transport pitches to each other. The work piece conveying apparatus includes a drive motor that includes an output shaft, plural drive pulleys that are fixed to the output shaft and have different diameters to each other, plural timing belts that are respectively entrained around the plural drive pulleys, and plural coupling plates that are respectively fixed to the timing belts and that move reciprocating with different transport pitches to each other accompanying forward and reverse rotation of the output shaft, and cause to convey work pieces.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6550599
    Abstract: A motor includes a motor main body, an output arrangement secured to the motor main body, and a clutch arranged between the motor main body and the output arrangement. The motor main body includes a rotatable shaft. The output arrangement includes a housing and a worm shaft. The clutch transmits rotation of the rotatable shaft to the worm shaft and prevents transmission of rotation of the worm shaft to the rotatable shaft. The worm shaft and a driven-side rotator of the clutch are installed in the housing. The worm shaft and the driven-side rotator can be separately provided or alternatively can be integrally provided as a one-piece member. Then, a driving-side rotator of the clutch is installed on the rotatable shaft. Thereafter, the motor main body is connected to the housing of the output arrangement.
