Lightweight universal joint transmits both torque and thrust
A lightweight universal joint uses a thin steel flexure plate to transmit torque and a steel rod to transmit thrust. Both the plate and rod are independently mounted and can act individually.
Optics used to measure torque at high rotational speeds
In measuring torque transmitted by a high speed rotation shaft, an apparatus has been devised which includes a shaft, an optical system and readout servomechanism. This highly accurate method uses only optical contact with moving part and is statically calibrated.

Slit feeds reduce unbalanced torques in gas-lubricated bearings
Gas-lubricated journal bearing with narrow radial slits forming circular gas-feed passages regulates gas flow in precision instruments. Asymmetrical flow pattern and unbalanced torques are prevented.
Bidirectional torque filter eliminates backlash
Two elastic springs connecting a hub and two spur gears absorb bidirectional step torque differentials and provide antibacklash characteristics between input and output shafts. This device is used in precise control systems.
Air brake-dynamometer accurately measures torque
Air brake-dynamometer assembly combines the principles of the air turbine and the air pump to apply braking torque. The assembly absorbs and measures power outputs of rotating machinery over a wide range of shaft speeds. It can also be used as an air turbine.

Modified power tool rapidly drives series torque bolts
Feeder attachment, which fits on a standard power driver, drives a series of longitudinally attached torque bolts into place with great speed. It allows loading of a series of bolts and then positions individual bolts in the driving head for assembly. The attachment contains a socket gun which may be modified to accommodate different types and sizes of bolts.
Torque wrench allows readings from inaccessible locations
Torque wrench with an adjustable drive shaft permits indicator to remain in view when used on sections of equipment with limited access. The shaft is capable of protruding from either side of the wrench head by means of spring loaded balls.
Improved rolling element bearings provide low torque and small temperature rise in ultrahigh vacuum environment
Rolling element bearing with stainless steel races and rolling elements and a porous bronze cage successfully operates in ultrahigh vacuum environments at a low torque and with small temperature rise. All components are burnished in molybdenum disulfide.
