A magnetic field communication system and method is devised for communicating a signal indicating an internal state of a bearing through a magnetic field and for converting the signal communicating through the magnetic field into power to analyze the internal state of the bearing. The system includes a sensor unit disposed inside a bearing and an adapter disposed outside the bearing. The sensor unit includes a sensor to detect a temperature of oil inside the bearing and to output a sensing signal indicative of the detected oil temperature, and an interface to convert the outputted sensing signal into a magnetic field signal and to transmit the magnetic field signal outside the bearing. The adapter receives the transmitted magnetic field signal from the sensor unit and analyzes the received magnetic field signal in order to determine a status of the oil temperature.

A bearing assembly is for movably coupling first and second members and includes first and second laminated bodies disposed within the second member bore, spaced about a centerline and connected with the first member. The first laminated is formed of alternating, arcuate first elastomeric laminae and arcuate first rigid laminae nested generally about a first central axis, each first rigid lamina having a first radial thickness between inner and outer surfaces. The second laminated body is formed of alternating, arcuate second elastomeric laminae and arcuate second rigid laminae nested generally about a second central axis, each second rigid lamina having a second radial thickness between the rigid lamina inner and outer surfaces. The first radial thickness of the first rigid laminae is substantially greater than the second radial thickness of the second rigid laminae such that the second laminated body has a substantially lesser stiffness than the first laminated body.

Construction is achieved that, together with preventing the occurrence of damage to a mandrel, is able to improve precision of the shape of a ring-shaped member after processing. A mandrel includes a pair of support shaft sections that are provided so as to be separated in the axial direction and so as to be concentric with each other, and a rolling shaft section that is concentrically provided in the axial direction between the pair of support shaft sections. One of the support shaft sections is provided in a state in which displacement in the axial direction with respect to the rolling shaft section is regulated. The other support shaft section is provided in a state in which displacement in a direction going away from the rolling shaft section is possible when a pressing force is applied in that direction.

A process of compressing a slug to have tapered ends, then reforming the slug to change the configuration to a shorter length with a larger diameter across the center of the slug. The slug is then reformed and a hole pressed there through, with the pressing of the partial hole reforming the configuration to have a near perfect radius with a hole through the slug, whereby a near prefect ball is made, and the ball has a hole there through.

A shaft voltage reduction structure is mounted on an electric machine having a bearing house and a rotor shaft rotatably connected together, and includes an electrically conductive main body, at least one electrically conductive bearing, and an electrically conductive shaft. The conductive main body is mounted to a bottom of the bearing house and includes a conductive shaft barrel projected from a center thereof. The conductive shaft barrel internally defines a shaft receiving hole, in which the conductive bearing is received. The conductive shaft includes a connecting end and a pivotal end connected to the rotor shaft and the shaft receiving hole, respectively. A shaft voltage across the rotor shaft of the electric machine is guided by the conductive shaft to release in a closed loop formed among the conductive main body, the conductive bearing and the bearing house, so as to reduce the shaft voltage of the electric machine.
