A disconnect assembly for an input shaft and an output shaft includes a sleeve configured to be disposed about the input shaft and the output shaft. A cam is disposed about the sleeve. A cam follower is configured to contact the cam. An interfacing element is configured to operatively interface the sleeve, the input shaft, and the output shaft. The sleeve, the cam, the cam follower, and the interfacing element are configured to move between a respective connect position and a respective disconnect position.

An oil cooled generator may have stator windings with first portions in contact with a stator core and second non-contact portions. One or more nozzles may be configured to provide a spray pattern of oil which impinges on the non-contact portions even though the nozzles may have orifices oriented so that the lines projected in alignment with longitudinal axes of the orifices do not intersect the non-contact portions of the stator windings.

Oil cooled generator

A shell that mechanically supports the diode lead wires against movement both during assembly and subsequent operation of the rotor shaft. In addition, the present invention relates to a method for retaining diode lead wires in a power generator rotor by using the shell of the present invention.

A disengagement/disconnect assembly for disengaging a generator from a gear box may include an inner ball screw having an angled threading on an outer surface thereof and surrounding and operatively engaged to a rotating generator drive shaft to cause rotation of the inner ball screw. The inner ball screw may be attached to an engagement member having undercut and interlockable teeth engaged to corresponding teeth of an engagement member of the gear box. An outer ball screw may surround and normally rotate with the inner ball screw. A helical ball track may be formed between the inner and outer ball screws. A brake may be provided for slowing or stopping rotation of the outer ball screw so that the inner ball screw rotates relative to the outer ball screw along the ball track and slides axially away from the gear box thereby disengaging the generator from the gear box drive shaft.

A disengagement assembly for disengaging a generator from an engine or gear box may include an inner ball screw having helical threading on an outer surface thereof and surrounding and operatively engaged to a rotating generator drive shaft to cause rotation of the inner ball screw, the inner ball screw may have interlockable teeth engaged to corresponding teeth of the gear box drive shaft. An outer ball screw may surround and may normally rotate with the inner ball screw. A helical ball track may be formed between the inner and outer ball screws. An eddy current brake may slow or stop rotation of the outer ball screw so that the inner ball screw may rotate relative to the outer ball screw and slide axially toward a lock thereby disengaging the generator from the engine.
