Woodward Governor Company - Fort Collins CO
International Classification:
H02K 524
US Classification:
310 89, 310 51, 310 68 R
Abstract:
A rotary electrical actuator for mounting to a support surface in industrial applications having integral electronics that are isolated by vibration isolators from vibrations. The rotary actuator comprises a stator housing supporting a lamination stack and coils. The actuator housing has a mounting structure for mounting to the support surface (such as the mounting surface of an engine or a turbine for example) for support thereby. A rotor is carried for rotation in the stator housing. The actuator further comprises an electronics housing containing the electronics that control output of the electrical actuator. Vibration isolators supported by the stator housing in turn support the electronics housing, whereby vibrations received at mounting structure and traveling through the stator housing are dampened prior to traveling to the electronics housing. A number of embodiments are disclosed utilizing a tie rod assembly concept for the vibration isolators.
Retainer And Method For Holding A Circuit Card Against A Clamping Surface Of A Chassis Or Heatsink
US Patent:
7477524, Jan 13, 2009
Filed:
Mar 2, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/070706
Inventors:
Richard J. Way - Fort Collins CO, US
Assignee:
Woodward Governor Company - Fort Collins CO
International Classification:
H05K 7/14
US Classification:
361801, 361759, 361826
Abstract:
An improved retainer, apparatus and method for retaining a circuit card are provided, through the use of a circuit card retainer comprising a length of spring wire defining a longitudinal axis of the retainer, lying in a plane of the retainer, and formed to define a wavy section of the retainer having peaks and valleys of the spring wire lying in the plane of the retainer with at least some of the peaks and/or the valleys being offset from the axis of the retainer. Some embodiments include a retainer guide, having a groove therein for properly orienting the wavy section of the retainer with respect to the circuit card.
