A linear guide mechanism includes a housing having an inside housing surface that defines a bore extending through the housing coaxial with a longitudinal axis. A shaft is disposed at least partially in the bore and is reciprocatably and linearly moveable in the bore along the longitudinal axis. The shaft has an exterior shaft surface. A self-lubricating liner is disposed in the bore between the inside housing surface and the exterior shaft surface. The self-lubricating liner has an inside liner surface that is in sliding engagement with the exterior shaft surface of the shaft. The self-lubricating liner has an exterior liner surface.

Provided is a steam valve including a valve seat, a valve disc capable of contacting the valve seat, a valve rod connected or linked to the valve disc, a bush that slidably supports the valve rod, and an actuator that moves the valve disc via the valve rod, in which the valve rod has thereon a plurality of groves depressed to an inner side in a diametrical direction of the valve rod and a plurality of projections formed between the plurality of grooves, and each of the plurality of projections in an axial cross section of the valve rod is shaped so as to have one tip point.

A steam control valve including a valve seat, a valve disc that is abuttable on the valve seat, a valve lifting rod that is linked to the valve disc and extends in a vertical direction, a bushing that supports the valve lifting rod slidably, a lever linked to an upper end of the valve lifting rod, and an actuator that causes the lever to pivot, in which a box section having a downward-facing opening is provided on one end side of the lever, and the box section of the lever loosely fits an overhang section on a side of the valve lifting rod.

A self-adjusting static pressured plane guide rail consists of a base, slider provided on the base and an upper pressing plate corresponding to the shoulders on both sides of the slider; wherein: each upper pressing plate's outer edge contacts the base to form a fulcrum and the upper pressing plate's inner edge acts as the force portion and a upper pressing block is set between force portion and the slider's shoulder and a metal wire is set between the upper pressing block's top surface and the force portion's bottom surface of upper pressing plate along the slider's sliding direction; the upper pressing plate is provided with pre-tightening bolt to connect the base in a fixed way. When vibration frequency changes during operation, the oil film gap changes accordingly due to pre-tightening bolt's elasticity of the mutual function and the metal wire's elasticity to always maintain oil film layer's rigidity function.

A magnetic gravity compensator comprises a stator (1), a rotor (2), a base (4) and an adjustment mechanism (6). The stator (1) is disposed on the base (4), and the rotor (2) is levitated with respect to the stator (1). The stator (1) comprises a central cylindrical magnet (11) that is fixed to the base (4) by the adjustment mechanism (6) and consists of at least two arc magnets (111). The adjustment mechanism (6) has a first end fixed to the base (4) and a second end securely connected to the at least two arc magnets (111). The adjustment mechanism (6) is configured to drive the at least two arc magnets (111) to synchronously move radially with respect to a central axis of the central cylindrical magnet (11) so as to change a magnetic circuit between the central cylindrical magnet (11) and the rotor (2), and thereby adjust a magnetic levitation force between the stator (1) and the rotor (2).

An actuator includes a guide that extends in one direction and a slider that is movable in an axial direction with respect to the guide. Either the guide or the slider has a recessed cross-section, and the slider is guided by the guide while the other of the guide and the slider is restrained by three surfaces constituting the recessed cross-section.

An assembly having an outer component, an inner component, and a ring positioned between the outer component and the inner component, where the ring has at least one radially extending projection adapted to seat within at least one groove in the inner component or outer component, and where the projection is adapted to compress radially to allow rotational or axial movement between the inner component and the outer component upon application of rotational or axial force respectively to at least one of the inner component or the outer component.
