COMPACT ACTIVE MATERIAL ACTUATED TRANSMISSIONS FOR DRIVING MULTIPLE OUTPUT LOADS FROM A SINGLE PRIMARY ACTUATOR

摘要

Power is selectively transferred from a primary actuator to one of a plurality of output shafts with a transmission including a plurality of output members coupled to an input member, the input member being coupled to the primary actuator. A first active material actuator includes a mechanical coupling feature coupling one of the plurality of output shafts to one of the plurality of output members when the active material actuator is activated.
