Abstract:
A direction-dependent driving coupling between the rotor of a permanent-magnet synchronous motor and a working part, comprising at least one first eccentric driving tooth and at least one cantilevered elastomeric element which are rigidly coupled to a first one of the rotor and the working part between which motion is to be transmitted, said cantilevered element being arranged peripherally close to a cylindrical wall, of which it partially follows the shape, said wall being formed by a housing in which the rotor is arranged and being motionless, at start-up, with respect to the motorized component, at least one second eccentric tooth being rigidly coupled to a second one of the rotor and the working part between which motion is to be transmitted in such a position that the path between the rotor and the working part causes it to interact with said first tooth in one direction and to interact with said cantilevered element in the opposite direction, producing a radial outward thrust which flexes said cantilevered element against said cylindrical wall, blocking it.
