US 10,807,337 B2 · Drive for a machine, torque motor, clutch unit, device for processing materials, and use of a torque motor

Abstract

The invention relates to a drive (1; 101) of a machine (2) comprising a drive motor (3) for driving a rotatable shaft (5) of the machine (2) around a shaft axis of rotation (4), and comprising a clutch unit (10) in operative connection with the drive motor (3) and the shaft (5) for compensating for a relative movement (11) between the shaft (5) and the drive motor (3). The drive motor (3) has a rotor part (35) surrounding the shaft (5) on which a clutch rotation part (18A) of the clutch system (10) is mounted to be rotatable around the shaft axis of rotation (4), wherein the rotor part (35) is arranged at least partially engaging in the clutch rotation part (18A) in such a way that the clutch rotation part (18A) is mounted radially movably on the rotor part (35).

Dependent claims

A drive of a machine, the drive comprising:

a shaft rotatable about a shaft axis and having a pair of axially opposite ends;
a drive motor having a rotor surrounding the shaft between the ends and rotatable about a rotor rotation axis limitedly movable radially of the shaft, both of the ends being exposed past the drive motor;
and
a coupling operatively connected to the drive motor and to the shaft between the motor and one of the ends for compensating for relative movement between the shaft and the drive motor, the coupling having a rotatable coupling part rotatable about the shaft rotation axis and movable radially relative to the shaft axis and rotor axis, the rotor at least partially engaging in the rotatable coupling part.
