Abstract
An opposed ramp assembly is configured with a load bearing lug. The lug has angled ends that match the opposed profile shapes that rotate as the lug reciprocates with each piston stroke. One side of the opposed profiles of the opposed ramp pattern has no axial travel grooves for the lug. On the other side there can be one or more open slots for the lug to facilitate assembly and disassembly of the lug to the operating location or to accommodate one or more needed positions for the tool depending on the application. As a result the opposed pattern peaks have increased spacing for the same stroke length of the piston. This allows for more reaction time in a partial stroke to avoid jamming because the potential position for jamming is far later so that reversal of movement can occur without jamming, if it occurs in the early part of the stroke. Peak to peak axial separation of the opposed pattern profiles is increased by a factor of at least 24.
