Abstract
A device for coupling a rotary member to an axially movable input stem of a linear displacement transducer comprises an axially movable element which is coupled to the stem and threadedly engages the rotary member. The axially movable element is restrained against rotation by spring loaded detents and has abutments which can engage a lug on the member when the element reaches its limiting axial positions. This engagement causes the element to be rotated with the member and input to the transducer is arrested.
