Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An isolating decoupler comprising a shaft, a pulley having a belt bearing portion, a one way clutch, a torsion spring, the torsion spring engaged between the pulley and the one-way clutch, and a single bearing disposed between the shaft and the pulley, the bearing comprising a radial centerline, the radial centerline aligned with a mid-line of the belt bearing portion.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
1 . An isolating decoupler comprising: a shaft; a pulley having a belt bearing portion; a one way clutch; a torsion spring, the torsion spring connected to the pulley and directly frictionally engaged with an outer surface of the one-way clutch; and a single bearing disposed between the shaft and the pulley, the bearing comprising a radial centerline, the radial centerline aligned with a mid-line of the belt bearing portion. 2 . The isolating decoupler as in claim 1 , wherein the torsion spring is axially displaced so it is not radially between the belt bearing portion and the shaft. 3 . The isolating decoupler as in claim 1 further comprising a dust shield on the pulley. 4 . The isolating decoupler as in claim 1 , wherein the torsion spring comprises an end which is welded to the pulley. 5 . The isolating decoupler as in claim 1 , wherein the single bearing comprises a radial projection which locates the single bearing on the shaft.
