DRIVING FORCE TRANSMISSION DEVICE AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS

A driving force transmission device includes a clutch, an output shaft, a bearing and an annular shim. The clutch is capable of being switched between a transmission of a rotational force and an interruption of the transmission of the rotational force. The output shaft outputs the rotational force of the clutch. The bearing supports an end portion of the output shaft with grease. The annular shim is disposed around the end portion of the output shaft between the clutch and the bearing. The shim has a through hole through which the end portion of the output shaft is inserted. The through hole has the same shape as a cross section of the end portion of the output shaft. A circumferential edge of the through hole comes into tightly contact with an outer circumferential face of the end portion of the output shaft.

BEARING FOR CLUTCH
20200300299 · 2020-09-24 · ·

An outer ring includes an outer ring small-diameter part extending toward one axial side with respect to the outer ring raceway, a radial wall part extending from an axial end portion of the outer ring small-diameter part toward an inner diameter-side, and a folded-back part extending from a radially inner end portion of the radial wall part toward the other axial side. The folded-back part radially overlaps the inner ring small-diameter part with a radial gap therebetween. The radial gap of an inner diameter-side entry formed by an axial end of the folded-back part and the inner peripheral surface of the inner ring small-diameter part is smaller than the radial gap of an inner diameter-side exit formed by an axial end of the inner ring small-diameter part and an outer peripheral surface of the folded-back part.

Hydraulic unit

The present invention relates to a hydraulic unit with a housing in which a hydraulic converter is accommodated, which is coupled with a drive shaft that includes a connecting shaft piece located outside the housing for connection to a mechanical drive element The invention furthermore relates to a hydraulic driving device with such hydraulic unit and to a drive train connecting piece to which the hydraulic unit is connected. It is proposed to integrate a clutch for connecting and disconnecting the hydraulic unit into the hydraulic unit itself, so that a mechanical drive train, to which the hydraulic unit is connected, can remain unchanged or need not especially be adapted to the clutch. In accordance with the invention, a clutch for coupling and uncoupling the connecting shaft piece of the hydraulic unit to and from the hydraulic converter of the hydraulic unit is accommodated in the housing of the hydraulic unit.
