Title: Jeffrey Hemphill: Inventor of an Actuator Using a Wave Generator
Introduction
Jeffrey Hemphill is an inventor associated with Akron, Ohio, and Schaeffler Technologies AG & Co. KG. His patent work includes an actuator design that converts the rotation of a wave generator into axial movement of a shaft.
Latest Patents
Hemphill is credited with 1 patent: “Actuator Using a Wave Generator.” The invention describes a wave generator that rotates about an axis and is operably coupled to a flex ring. As the generator rotates, it deforms the flex ring, and that deformation prompts axial displacement of a shaft coupled to the ring.
Career Highlights
Hemphill’s listed patent reflects work on actuator mechanisms that use controlled deformation to produce linear motion. The patent identifies Schaeffler Technologies AG & Co. KG as his company affiliation.
Collaborations
Todd Sturgin and Nicholas Hrusch are listed as Hemphill’s coworkers. The available information does not specify their roles in the patent or whether they collaborated on the invention.
Conclusion
Jeffrey Hemphill’s patent documents an actuator concept that links wave-generator rotation and flex-ring deformation to the axial movement of a shaft.
