ABSTRACT:
An integrated drive system for driving one or more elongate flexible members of a displacement apparatus used in a media handling system. The integrated drive system includes an integral housing and a plurality of shafts fixedly secured to the integral housing. A first linkage device is mounted on one of the shafts and includes a capstan, which may be adapted to receive and retain one or more elongate flexible members, and a first gear integrally formed therewith. A second linkage device is mounted on another shaft and includes a second gear which engages the first gear, and a third gear integrally formed therewith. A motor assembly may also be provided which includes a motor operatively connected to a fourth gear which engages the third gear, a motor shaft, and an overload clutch assembly which prevents the fourth gear from being rotatingly driven with the motor shaft at predetermined intervals. Methods for assembling an integrated drive system and a motor assembly are also disclosed.
