Abstract: A rotary joint, including: a hydraulic follow-up mechanism and a rotary transmission mechanism. The hydraulic follow-up mechanism includes a cylinder body, a valve sleeve, a valve core, a valve body, a left end cover and a right end cover. The rotary transmission mechanism includes a tray, a stabilizing ring, a follow-up disk, a torque transfer disk and a stable supporting wheel mechanism. The left end cover and the right end cover are arranged at the left and right ends of the cylinder body, respectively. The valve body is concentrically mounted in a cylindrical hollow chamber of the cylinder body. The output shaft at the right end of the valve body projects out of the right end cover. The right end of the valve core is provided with a valve core torque transfer shaft extending rightwards through the right end of the valve body.

Abstract: The safety coupling includes a driving part (10) and a driven part (12) able to rotate around the same rotation axis (X) and respectively provided with first torque transmission means (14, 24) and with second torque transmission means (30, 36, 40, 52, 60, 62) having front toothings (24, 40, 60, 62) normally meshing with each other for the transmission of torque between the two parts of the coupling (10, 12). The safety coupling also includes torque-sensitive opening means (66, 72, 110) arranged to disengage the front toothings (24, 40, 60, 62) of the first (14, 24) and second (30, 36, 40, 52, 60, 62) torque transmission means, thus interrupting the torque transmission, when the torque transmitted between the two parts of the coupling (10, 12) exceeds a given maximum value.

Abstract: A mechanical clutch with two elements (11, 21) which, for the purpose of positively engaging one another, are provided with opposed end toothings which are adapted to one another, the first element (11) being rotatably mounted and axially supported, the second element (21) also being rotatably mounted and axially supported, and further being axially blocked in a first position for the purpose of being non-rotatably engaged with the first element (11), and being axially moveable into a position in which it is freely rotatably and disengaged from the first element (11), with a device for selectively axially blocking the second element (21), the clutch further comprising: a cavity system whose shape is variable and which is filled with a magneto-rheological fluid; a displacing member which can be moved between a first position and a second position, which delimits the cavity system and which is connected to the second element (21); and an electro-magnet (37) which can magnetize at least part of the magneto-rheol
