Abstract

A linear transfer system for a collaborative robot includes a linear bearing extending along a linear axis. A carriage on the linear bearing moves along the linear axis and supports a collaborative robot. One or more load cells are supported on either axial end of the carriage. A motor causes movement of the carriage along the linear axis under the control of a motor control circuit. The circuit receives input signals indicative of forces applied to the load cells. During a programming mode for the system, the circuit may generate control signals for the motor causing movement of the carriage along the linear axis corresponding to the forces applied to the load cells. During an operating mode of the system, the circuit may detect collisions by comparing the forces to a threshold and generating control signals to halt movement of the carriage if a predetermined condition is met.

Abstract

An anti-rotation device for use in a linear actuator comprises a hollow body permitting passage of a screw therein. At least one pair of legs extends longitudinally away from the hollow body and each leg of the at least one pair includes a first key feature configured for mating or complementary engagement with a second key feature of an housing used to enclose the screw, nut and anti-rotation device. In one embodiment, each leg is configured to extend or flex radially outward relative to an outer diameter of the hollow body. In another embodiment, the second key features of the housing are substantially longitudinally uniform, whereas the first key feature of at least one of the legs includes a longitudinally non-uniform feature. These pre-loading features induce self-centering of the anti-rotation device that reduces or eliminates play between the components and noise while also improving performance of the linear actuator.

Abstract

A linear actuator (20) including three nested telescoping sections (22, 24, 26) actuated by two internal screw drives (28, 30). First and second screw drive nuts (32, 34) are rotatably mounted in the intermediate telescoping section (24) to linearly translate respective first and second screw shafts (36, 38), which are fixed to respective distal ends (21, 27) of the outer (22) and inner (26) telescoping sections.

Abstract

A clutch (40) connecting an input (42) to an output (44) and allowing the output to freewheel in an overrun condition. An input cam (50) rotates relative to the output to move a roller (60) radially outwardly to wedge between the input and output in an engaged mode. Cooperating cage members (54L,54R) defining a wedge-shaped opening for the roller move apart when the cam forces the roller radially outwardly. An elastic member (64) urges the cage members together to move the roller radially inwardly against sloped surfaces (62) of the wedge-shaped opening in the overrun condition. Relative movement of the cage members may be in an axial direction wherein the sloped surfaces act on ends of the roller, or it may be in a rotational direction about a drive axis wherein the sloped surfaces act on the longitudinal surface of the roller.
