Abstract: The system of the present disclosure replaces the reduction gearbox of a conventional system with a screw shaft and nut system wherein the position of the nut feeds into a linear sensor that determines the stabilizer position based on the nut position. The screw shaft and nut system in the position sensor train is reflective of the screw shaft and nut system and the stabilizer movement end of the assembly whereby rotation of the shaft causes axial movement of the nut along the shaft.

Abstract: A system for simulating in situ drilling and treatment conditions on a core sample from a subterranean formation. The system re-creates various subterranean loads and temperatures on a test sample representative of actual in situ conditions from the particular formation while a test structure within the system performs drilling activities on the core sample using drilling and treating under evaluation for use in the particular subterranean formation. Thus, the impact on selected drilling and treating fluids can be evaluated as well as the impact those fluids had on a sample from the subterranean formation under in situ conditions.

Abstract: Linear actuators that allow for improved self-locking properties without sacrificing axial response are provided. A linear actuator can have two screws extending from opposite ends of the actuator. The screws are joined by and threadably coupled to an elongate rotating nut. An elongate magnet is disposed around and coupled to the nut, and a stator including coils surrounds the magnet and nut. The magnet and nut are not axially fixed with respect to the stator. Rotation of the nut causes axial displacement of both screws, causing the screws to move closer together or farther apart. A pitch of the screw threads can be selected to enhance self-locking properties.

Abstract: An electromechanical actuating assembly can have a redundant design with a first electric motor providing actuator-moving power via a first drive train and a second electric motor providing actuator-moving power via a second drive train. A first decoupling train can transmit decoupling power to decouple the first drive train from the actuator and a second decoupling train for transmit decoupling power to decouple the second drive train from the actuator. The assembly is operable in a fault-tolerant mode wherein actuator-moving power is transferred only through one drive train and the other drive train is decoupled from the actuator.
