The drive of the other flap (10) has lost motion.

A damping mechanism for a lost motion hydraulic actuator utilizes a thin edge orifice (66) in cooperation with a communication passageway (62) between the upper (46) and lower (48) chambers and controls the damping of the upper piston (38) on closure.

A lost motion linkage (126) protects the actuator (106) from snatch loads.

In this context, idle travel (8) is provided for the friction brake, with the result that at first only the eddy current brake engages, and after the idle travel (8) has occurred the friction brake engages.

A lost motion float is used to reduce the loading on the connection bolts of the system.

The amount of lost-motion establishes the actual opening and closing phase angles for the valves.

The slides have preloaded bearings (28c) to allow a linear movement of each upright with no lost motion.

The backlash acceleration correction is initiated at the time of reversing of the sign of a positional deviation and is thereafter executed periodically.

The lost motion clutch mechanism (72a, 78e) includes a floating sector gear (72) driven by the gear train (64, 66, 68).

A lost motion clutch mechanism (72a, 78e) is provided between the gear train (64, 66, 68) and the output arm (42).

The amount of lost-motion of each actuator is established by the timing of the opening and closing of the corresponding solenoid valve.

A servo motor control method which enables optimum backlash acceleration correction to be made automatically under various operating conditions of a machine.

A limited lost motion connection (143, 144, 145, 146, 147, 148, 150) is located between the turbine blade (114) and the counterweight assembly (120).

To achieve variable event timing, a lost motion coupling (10, 20, 14) is arranged between the drive wheel (10) and the camshaft (16).

Estimates of the dead run from 100,000 to 300,000 and tens of thousands fled the country.
