ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a motor driven actuating mechanism which incorporates means of sensing torque and deriving a mechanical movement therefrom. The invention provides a mechanical brake which utilizes the mechanical movement of the torque sensing means to brake the mechanism if a preset torque is exceeded.
In the preferred embodiment of the invention the mechanism comprises a worm and wormwheel in which the worm shaft is movable axially against a spring in response to torque reaction. The shaft movement is utilized to de-energize the drive motor and the mechanical brake comprises a brake disc attached to the worm shaft.
