A linear guide device including an actuator including: a base section; a slider slidably provided to the base section; and guide sections disposed between the base section and the slider in a state that the guide sections are extending in the sliding direction of the slider. DLC films are formed on the guide sections, and the guide sections are locked to the slider such that the guide section can slide in a state that the DLC films are applying a predetermined preload with respect to the base section.

A rolling device includes: an inner member that has a raceway face; an outer member that has a raceway face facing the raceway face; and rolling elements that are disposed between both raceway faces in a rollable manner, wherein at least one of the inner member and the outer member has a space formed therein. Further, a method for manufacturing a rolling device including an inner member that has a raceway face, an outer member that has a raceway face facing the raceway face, rolling elements that are disposed between both raceway faces in a rollable manner, and a space that is formed inside at least one of the inner member and the outer member by a 3D printer.

The present disclosure relates to bearings, guide sleeves and head restraint assemblies for automobiles.

A steering system for steering a wheel of a vehicle includes a track rod for deflecting the wheel, a rack which, by axial movement, leads to control of the track rod, and a housing. The rack is at least partially arranged within the housing. The rack has a convex and/or concave cross-sectional portion. The housing-mounted complementary geometry includes a complementary concave and/or convex shaping, as a result of which a form-fitting connection is produced for realizing the twist prevention.

A slide-stop device designed and adapted for wedge engagement with opposing internal sur-faces of a linear motion slide track having an essentially C-shaped cross-sectional profile. The slide-stop device includes two lateral engagement sections extending essentially parallel to the longitudinal direction on opposite sides of the slide-stop device and having engagement surfaces facing outwardly in opposite transverse directions of the slide-stop device, two flex-ion elements being arranged on opposite sides with respect to the longitudinal direction of the slide-stop device. Each of the two flexion elements have one or more strips extending between and connecting the end regions of the lateral engagement sections, each strip being curved or bent to point outwardly with respect to the longitudinal direction of the slide-stop device. At least the strips of the flexion elements are made of elastic material.

The present invention relates to a sliding cage of universal joint for vehicle, and more particularly, to a sliding cage of universal joint for vehicle for making a shaft joint and a pipe joint smoothly slide as well as operating an elastically contacted needle bearing, installed to the sliding cage, when a universal joint is slipped or delivers rotating torque. The present invention provides a sliding cage of universal joint for vehicle, comprising: a sleeve; a plurality of mountings positioned to keep distance along the longitudinal direction of the outer side of the sleeve; and a needle bearing and a ball bearing which are installed to the mountings, wherein the sliding cage is provided to the universal joint constructing a steering apparatus for vehicle, thereby being assembled to deliver torque while being slipped toward axial direction.

A tolerance ring comprising a metallic band for spring features and a complementary low friction material for frictional considerations is disclosed. The tolerance ring is designed to operate within a precisely controlled torque or axial force band to provide a defined amount of resistance and sliding force control between components that move relative to each other. Isolated portions of the tolerance ring form regions of contact with adjacent ones of the components. Other surfaces of the tolerance ring comprise portions with spring features that have geometry suitable for their spring rate, rather than conforming to mating surfaces of the adjacent components.

A slide rail assembly for mounting a chassis to a rack is provided. The chassis has multiple mounting members on a lateral side. The slide rail assembly is mounted on the rack by two brackets and includes first and second rails, a first auxiliary supporting member, and multiple reinforcing segments. The first rail has first and second sides, wherein the first side has a concave space. The second rail can be displaced with respect to the first rail and has an inner side and an outer side. The first auxiliary supporting member is mounted in the concave space of the first side of the first rail. The reinforcing segments are fixedly mounted on the inner side of the second rail.

A steering column assembly for a vehicle may include a buffer structure provided between a steering housing and a steering shaft inserted into the steering housing to distribute vibration applied thereto and to compensate for the distortion of the steering shaft and a clearance of the steering shaft with the steering housing, wherein a support structure is also provided to secure the support performance of the steering housing with respect to a mounting bracket in the event of a tilt and a longitudinal motion of the steering housing, ensuring the horizontal rigidity of the steering housing and reducing vibration applied thereto.
