A method for manufacturing an assembled camshaft for valve-controlled internal combustion engines, in which at least one cam disc with a base circle region and cam region is machined on the running surface and has a cam-disc recess, includes shrinking the cam disc onto a corresponding shaft designed with a defined dimensional overlap by cooling the shaft and heating the cam disc. Temporally before being shrunk onto the shaft, the at least one cam disc is clamped by a clamping device such that a tension force acts on the recess wall region, which defines the cam-disc recess, the tension force corresponding to a predetermined extent to the state of stresses and/or deformation state of the recess wall region after the operation of shrinking the cam disc onto the corresponding shaft. The running-surface machining of the at least one cam disc takes place when the cam disc is clamped by the clamping device.

A fuel pump for a fuel injection system of an internal combustion engine includes a pump housing and a fastening section which is present on the pump housing for fastening the fuel pump to a base, in particular an engine block. The fastening section has a through opening for receiving a holding element for a fastening means, in particular a screw. At least one radially inwardly directed projection is present at least in an end region of the through opening, the end region facing the base in the installed position.

According to the invention, there is provided a magnetic wear liner (10) for protecting an underlying metallic surface (12) of a materials handling device from wear or damage during use. The magnetic wear liner includes a substantially rigid base (16) and one or more wear lining tiles (18) disposed on one side of the rigid base. The magnetic wear liner further includes one or more magnet devices (26) engageable with the rigid base such that a selective portion of the wear liner (10) is magnetically attracted to the underlying metallic surface.

A clamp bolt providing a bolt and two nut, each nut being screwed on an end of the bolt. The clamp bolt further including two washers, mounted around the bolt, and axially positioned between the two nuts.

A drive shaft includes a first shaft member made of metal, a tubular member made of CFRP, and a first exterior sleeve. The first shaft member is capable of being attached on one end side thereof to a first constant velocity joint, and has a first serrated part on which serrations are formed on another end side thereof. The tubular member is formed with a first fitting part fitted externally over the first serrated part. The first exterior sleeve covers the first fitting part by being disposed to extend over outer circumferential surfaces of the first shaft member and the tubular member. A film provided with a bonding assistance region and an adhesive are interposed between the outer circumferential surface of the tubular member and the inner circumferential surface of the first exterior sleeve.

A gear device includes: a housing cover having an annular shape and including a center opening configured to dispose a connection shaft for a gear, the housing cover being disposed at one end portion of a housing in an axis direction, the housing having a cylindrical shape and configured to house the gear. At an outer surface of the housing cover, an assembling mechanism configured to detachably assemble another housing cover is provided.

An interference fit fastener (FIG. 1) and method of fabricating same is described.

A one-sided fastener assembly for use in coupling an assembly stack-up includes a sleeve comprising an outer cylindrical surface and an inner tapered surface oriented at a first angle with respect to the outer surface. The inner tapered defines an opening extending through the sleeve. The fastener assembly also includes a core extending along an axis and configured for insertion into the opening. The core includes an outer tapered surface oriented at a second angle with respect to the axis configured for engagement with the sleeve inner tapered surface such that insertion of the core into the sleeve causes radial expansion of the sleeve creating an interference fit with the assembly stack-up to complete installation of the one-sided fastener assembly.

A retaining assembly to attach one or more mobile devices to a mobile object. The retaining assembly may include a mounting plate that attaches to the mobile object by way of a mounting bracket or scorecard clip-on. The mounting bracket provides dovetails for selecting engaging the mounting plate in different orientations. The mounting plate facilitates various magnetized components to removably attach to the mobile device. If the mobile device has a third-party extensible grip, a retaining ring may be employed to attach the mobile device or the extensible grip modified to one of the various magnetized components.
