Abstract
A flexible member test apparatus comprising a driver member having a first diameter and a second diameter, the first diameter is not equal to the second diameter, a first driven member coupled by a first flexible member to the driver member through contact of the first flexible member with a first diameter surface, a second driven member coupled by a second flexible member to the driver member through contact of the second flexible member with a second diameter surface, the first driven member rotationally coupled to a magnetic particle clutch, and the second driven member rotationally coupled to the magnetic particle clutch.

A flexible member test apparatus comprising:
- a driver member having a first diameter and a second diameter, the first diameter is not equal to the second diameter;
- a first driven member coupled by a first flexible member to the driver member through contact of the first flexible member with a first diameter surface;
- a second driven member coupled by a second flexible member to the driver member through contact of the second flexible member with a second diameter surface;
- the first driven member rotationally coupled to a magnetic particle clutch;
- and
- the second driven member rotationally coupled to the magnetic particle clutch.
A flexible member test apparatus comprising:
- a driver member;
- a first driven member coupled by a first flexible member to the driver member;
- a second driven member coupled by a second flexible member to the driver member;
- the first driven member rotationally coupled to a magnetic particle clutch first input shaft;
- the second driven member rotationally coupled to a magnetic particle clutch second input shaft;
- and
- the magnetic particle clutch first input shaft rotated at a speed different than a rotation speed for the magnetic particle clutch second input shaft.
A flexible member test apparatus comprising:
- a driver member;
- a first driven member coupled by a first flexible member to the driver member;
- a second driven member coupled by a second flexible member to the driver member;
- the first driven member rotationally coupled to a slip clutch first input shaft;
- the second driven member rotationally coupled to a slip clutch second input shaft;
- and
- a first pulley entrained with the first flexible member having a diameter different from a second pulley entrained with the second flexible member wherein the slip clutch first input shaft rotates at a speed different than a rotation speed for the slip clutch second input shaft.
