A connector includes a body having a cable receiving end configured to receive the end of the coaxial cable, a coupler configured to be coupled with and to rotate relative to the body, and a compression ring including a forward sleeve portion and a rearward outer ring portion attached to one another by a plurality of tabs. The forward sleeve portion is configured to be coupled to the cable receiving end of the body, and the plurality of tabs are configured to shear so as to separate the rearward outer ring portion from the forward sleeve portion when a torque for rotating the compression ring relative to the body exceeds a desired torque. The rearward outer ring includes an inner opening when separated from the forward sleeve portion, the separated rearward outer ring is configured to be slidingly moved relative to the body and the coupler, and the inner opening is configured to fit over the coupler such that the rearward outer ring is configured to be a torque assist member.

The present invention provides a measurement equipment configured to be connected to a measurement device. The measurement equipment comprises an HF coaxial connection element and a torque limiter. The torque limiter is configured for connecting the HF coaxial connection element with the measurement device with a predetermined torque. Furthermore, the invention provides an HF coaxial connection element configured to be connected to a corresponding HF coaxial connection element. The HF coaxial connection element comprises a torque limiter configured for detachably connecting the HF coaxial connection element with the corresponding HF coaxial connection element with a predetermined torque. Furthermore, the HF coaxial connection element comprises a centering element for centering the HF coaxial connection element with respect to the corresponding HF coaxial connection element. The HF coaxial connection element comprises a twist protection element for preventing twisting motion between the HF coaxial connection element and the corresponding HF coaxial connection element. In addition, the invention provides a corresponding torque limiter.

An aviation actuator assembly for various aviation servo and/or autopilot applications can include an actuator having an output shaft and a mechanical fuse for joining to the output shaft and another rotating body. The mechanical fuse can include a fuse body having a first connection point for joining to the output shaft, a second connection point for joining to the rotating body, and at least one channel defined in the fuse body. The first connection point and the second connection point are configured to be disposed in a line generally parallel to a common axis of rotation of the output shaft and the rotating body. The fuse body has a generally flat cross-sectional profile along its length between the first connection point and the second connection point, and the channel extends generally perpendicular to the length of the fuse body and narrows the cross-sectional profile.

A shear section for a rotating arrangement includes an axially-extending shaft having a connection flange and a coupling flange adjacent the connection flange. The coupling flange includes an annular shoulder portion and an elongated neck portion extending axially away from the shoulder portion and disposed concentrically within the shaft. The shear section further includes a plurality of fasteners extending axially through the shoulder portion and the connection flange, and securing the shaft to the coupling flange. Each of the plurality of fasteners includes a shank region and a reduced thickness portion circumscribing the shank region.

Connection assemblies are disclosed herein for use with a computing device. In some examples, the connection assembly includes a collar that is rotatably disposed about a first connector and is transitionable between a first position and a second position. When the collar is in the first position, shoulders of a second connector coupled to the first connector interfere with corresponding shoulders within the collar to prevent withdrawal of the second connector from the first connector. When the collar is in the second position, the shoulders of the second connector are misaligned with the corresponding shoulders within the collar so that the second connector is freely removable from the first connector.

Connector assemblies for computing devices

A connector includes separate portions that rotatably couple together and form a connector. The portions include elements for defining cavities and or slots therebetween that accept one or more shear elements, such as shear pins for the purposes of coupling the separate portions together in forming a unitary connector. The connector might be used between a cable and another connector or could form part of the connector on a cable. The shear element is configured for engaging the various portions and spanning across the interface for joining the portions together. The shear element is configured for breaking when a sufficient torque force is applied between the connector portions.
