    Abstract: A fusible disconnect switch device is provided. The disconnect switch includes a switch actuator, an actuator bias element, and a slider assembly. The switch actuator is selectively positioned between an opened position and a closed position. The actuator bias element includes a first end acting on the switch actuator and a second end coupled to the switch housing. The slider assembly is linked to the switch actuator. The slider assembly includes a first slider and a second slider each slidably movable with respect to the switch housing along a linear axis. The first slider is independently movable relative to the second slider. The actuator bias element and the slider assembly are responsive to the position of the switch actuator to effect a switch closing operation and a switch opening operation.

    Abstract: A rocker arm assembly can include an outer arm having an outer rocker shaft bore configured to receive a rocker shaft and an inner arm having an inner rocker shaft bore configured to receive the rocker shaft. The inner arm can be configured to selectively rotate. A latch pin can be movably seated in the outer arm and configured to move between a latched position and an unlatched position. The rocker arm assembly can further include a lost motion spring. The lost motion spring can include a first end connected to a connecting portion of the inner arm above the inner rocker shaft bore and a second end connected to the outer arm. The inner arm can include an inner arm stop member configured contact with a corresponding outer arm stop member of the outer arm.

    Abstract: A fuse includes a housing with opposing first and second ends and a first and second fusible element. It also includes first and second ferrules made from aluminum alloy, each electrically connected to the corresponding first and second fusible element. Each ferrule features a side wall and an end wall, with the end wall extending from the side wall to close the first or second end of the housing. Additionally, the end wall includes a boss that extends toward the interior of the housing. Together, the side and end walls form an interior receptacle designed to accommodate the first or second end of the housing.

    Abstract: In one embodiment, a system for synchronization is provided. The system comprises a switchable first rocker arm, a switchable second rocker arm, a first switching mechanism arranged in the first rocker arm and configured to controllably switch the first rocker arm by moving between a first position and a second position, and a second switching mechanism arranged in the second rocker arm and configured to controllably switch the second rocker arm by moving between a third position and a fourth position. Switching of the first rocker arm and switching of the second rocker arm are implemented by a single actuation source and controlled to occur in sequence.

    LOCK DETECTION MECHANISM FOR ELECTRONIC LOCKING DIFFERENTIAL

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an electronic locking differential gear mechanism having a lock detection mechanism for sensing and indication of a locked and unlocked state of the locking mechanism. The electronic locking differential gear mechanism includes an electronic stator which, when activated, rotates a ramped collar about an axis of the mechanism. The ramps of the ramped collar axially displace a plurality of push rods, which displace a locking collar and cause it to engage with a locker gear, placing the mechanism in a locked state. A sensor assembly detects the displacement of a sensing plate which is displaced along with the push rods, and thereby senses whether the mechanism is in a locked or unlocked state.
