Torque transmission

Induction motor mechanical considerations. If the motor is plaeed between the eompressor and the expander its shaft ends must be eapable of full torque transmission. Unit torque requirements are generally well above those required by the motor rating. The result is speeially designed motors. 

The rotor assembly shall have a unique identifieation number permanently marked on the shaft. Blade and disk residual life eurves shall be provided by the Seller. The disk/shaft attaeh-ment shall be redundant so that if the primary torque transmission path fails, a seeondary path will prevent separation of the disk from the shaft. 

In a series of papers, we have proposed the torsional mechanism of energy transduction and ATP synthesis, the only unified and detailed molecular mechanism of ATP synthesis to date [16-20,56] which addresses the issues of ion translocation in Fq [16, 20, 56], ionmotive torque generation in Fq [16, 20, 56], torque transmission from Fq to Fj [17,18], energy storage in the enzyme [17], conformational changes in Fj [18], and the catalytic cycle of ATP synthesis [18, 19]. We have also studied the thermodynamic and kinetic aspects of ATP synthesis [19,20,41,42,56]. A kinetic scheme has been developed and mathematically analyzed to obtain a kinetic model relating the rate of ATP synthesis to pHjn and pH m in the Fq portion and the adenine nucleotide concentrations in the Fj portion of ATP synthase. Analysis of these kinetic models reveals a wealth of mechanistic details such as the absence of cooperativity in the Fj portion of ATP synthase, order of substrate binding and product release events, and kinetic inequivalence of ApH and Aip. 

For high pressure and high-speed shafts hermetic sealing of the space on the product side via a split-pot in contact-free torque transmission by way of a magnetic coupling remains the only safe alternative. Example Ekato Safety magnetic... 

In general if speed can be varied, low speed is equivalent to high torque and vice versa for a given power transmission duty. High torque transmissions necessitate larger diameter shafts. 

The pressure-difference over the thread was estimated with Ap=80 bars. This assumption contains an approximate security loading of about 40% to the realistic case of operation. The torque at the torque transmission point was estimated with Mt=1100 Nm. The midsection auger segment shows a fracture probability of Fb=7,5-10 % and that for the end auger segment of Fb=6,23-10 %, both made of SSiC. These positive results admit the application of ceramic segments for extrusion process. 

In the laboratory, it had been determined that, if you applied a force of 30 Newton-meters to a disc, it would cause failure of the disc in axial rotation. However, the segments were able to withstand these fast pulsations of torque because there were two complimentary mechanisms for transmitting the torque. The first was the facet joint the second, the annulus. In the facet joint, it is the angle of rotation which determined the torque transmission. The more rotation and the more engagement with the facet joint, the greater the torque transferred. However, for the disc, because of the viscoelastic nature of collagen, this is the opposite. So the disc handled the majority of torque in mid-stance when the facet joints were not engaged. 

The Cyclo gearbox torque characteristics are different from those of the epicyclic. Its torque capability varies with differential speed while the maximum torque transmission of the epicyclic remains essentially constant for all differentials used. According to the manufacturer s performance data, the torque capacity of the Cyclo gearbox approximately halves when differential is increased from minimum to maximum. 

A second analysis, in which friction was included, produced a situation where the entire torque was transmitted through friction at the locking interfaces, and the teeth had no contact load. This is clearly an extreme example, but demonstrates the action of torque transmission at the nut the tribology and wear of the nut and locking interfaces then become of more importance than that of the teeth. 

Torque transmission is the same as in standard toothed couplings, combining torsional rigidity with axial and angular flexibility.
