A propeller shaft assembly includes a propeller shaft extending along an axis between a first and second shaft end. A propeller shaft yoke is operably connected to one of the first or second shaft ends and includes a body presenting a mounting surface extending circumferentially about the axis. A tuned damper extends radially outwardly from the mounting surface and includes a first damper ring disposed in abutting and encircling relationship with the mounting surface and a second damper ring disposed in abutting and encircling relationship with the first damper ring. The tuned damper includes a retention lip extending radially downwardly from the second damper ring in axially spaced relationship with the mounting hub by an axial spacing distance D for protecting the tuned damper from axial impact forces and improving the robustness of the tuned damper mounted on the mounting surface.

A decelerating clutch of a washing machine includes a bearing seat, an input shaft, an output shaft, and an output shaft sleeve. The input shaft and the output shaft are coaxial, the output shaft sleeve is sleeved on the input shaft and the output shaft, the output shaft sleeve is installed on the bearing seat via a bearing, the output shaft sleeve is connected with the input shaft via a planetary gear train, two ends and a middle part of the output shaft sleeve are respectively provided with at least one bearing, an inner ring of the bearing is coordinated with the output shaft sleeve, and an outer ring is coordinated with the bearing seat. The decelerating clutch of a washing machine improves a capability of an output shaft sleeve in resisting against a radial load, and further prolongs the service life of a decelerating clutch of a washing machine.

A supported spindle for a device equipped with a spindle nut. The supported spindle includes a spindle body extending along its center longitudinal axis, a support plate, which is welded onto the spindle body in such a way that a weld seam formed between the spindle body and the support plate extends around the center longitudinal axis of the spindle body, and a ring element framing a section of the center longitudinal axis of the spindle body, which contacts the support plate on at least one first contact surface of the ring element and contacts the spindle body on at least one second contact surface of the ring element in such a way that the ring element is clamped between the support plate and the spindle body.
