Introduction
Monday Ugbekile is an inventive mind based in Haan, Germany. He is currently associated with Centa-Antriebe Kirschey GmbH, where he focuses on developing innovative solutions in mechanical engineering. Although he has not yet been granted any patents, his work in the field is noteworthy.
Latest Patent Applications
One of his significant patent applications is for an "Overload Clutch." This invention pertains to a slip clutch designed for the transmission of torque limited in its strength. The overload clutch operates around a torque axis, transferring torque from a driving part, such as a drive shaft of a wind turbine, to a driven part, particularly a generator's drive train. The design includes at least one first body connected to either the driving or driven part in a torque-resistant manner. Additionally, it features a second body that is correspondingly connected to the other part, with multiple frictional elements biased against frictional counterparts on the first body. These frictional elements are supported in movable seats within the second body, allowing for displacement along a biasing axis, thereby forming a frictional engagement between the two bodies.
Conclusion
Monday Ugbekile is an emerging inventor whose contributions to overload clutch technology hold promise for advancements in mechanical engineering. His innovative approach to torque transmission could lead to significant improvements in various applications.
