Wheel bearing device and method for manufacturing said device
A wheel bearing device (1) including: an outer member (2) on the inner periphery of which an outer-side rolling surface (2c/2d) is formed; an inner member (3) on the outer periphery of which an inner-side rolling surface (3c/3d) is formed; and a plurality of rolling bodies (41) interposed between the rolling surfaces (2c/2d/3c/3d) of the outer member (2) and the inner member (3). The wheel bearing device having a spline hole (3b) formed in a through hole (3h) of the inner member (3). The spline hole includes a guide groove (3G) formed on an inner circumferential surface thereof. A guide plate (8G) of a finishing broach (8) passes through the guide groove in the inner periphery of the spline hole (3b).
ASSEMBLY FOR A BRAKE BOOSTER AND BRAKE BOOSTER
An assembly for a brake booster, for example, an electromechanical brake booster, comprises a motor output shaft of an electric motor, a transmission input shaft of a transmission which can be coupled to the electric motor, and a coupling element for power-transmitting coupling of the motor output shaft to the transmission input shaft. The coupling element has internal toothing which can be operatively connected or is operatively connected to the motor output shaft and to the transmission input shaft, as well as a brake booster with an assembly.
Leading-edge steering assembly
A leading-edge steering system is provided for a front suspension of an off-road vehicle. The leading-edge steering system is comprised of a spindle assembly that supports a drive axle assembly to conduct torque from a transaxle to a front wheel. A first rod-end joint pivotally couples an upper suspension arm and the spindle assembly, and a second rod-end joint pivotally couples a lower suspension arm and the spindle assembly. A steering rod-end joint pivotally couples a first end of a steering rod with a leading-edge portion of the spindle assembly. A steering gear is coupled with a second end of the steering rod and configured to move the steering rod, such that the spindle assembly rotates with respect to the upper and lower suspension arms. The leading-edge portion is configured to exert primarily tensile forces on the steering rod during travel over rough terrain.
MOTOR GEAR SYSTEMS FOR CAMERAS
Gear drive systems used with a camera comprise a housing with an electric drive gear disposed outside of the housing. A host gear is engaged with the drive gear and is rotatably disposed on a stationary shaft extending from the housing. An adapter is attached to the host gear and extends axially outwardly therefrom. A secondary gear is attached to the adapter and comprises a plurality of teeth disposed along an outside diameter. The secondary gear is releasably attached to the adapter by retaining elements and is fixed rotatably to the adapter by registration elements. The secondary gear is attached to the adapter by a push on snap-fit, and is removed from the adapter by being pulled off, thereby avoiding the need for tools to interchange a secondary gear having a desired configuration of teeth to engage a camera optical adjustment element such as a lens ring.
Speed-reducing or -increasing apparatus
A speed-reducing or -increasing apparatus, with first and second crown gears facing one another, with a cam unit that causes the first crown gear to incline with respect to the second crown gear so that the first crown gear meshes with the second crown gear, that causes the first crown gear to precess in such a manner as to move the meshing position, and couples to an input or output shaft. A rolling element is between the cam unit and the first crown gear, and the cam unit includes a first member that couples to the input or output shaft and a second member made of steel and including a rolling element rolling portion where the rolling element rolls, the second member configured to be incapable of rotating relatively to the first member, and at least part of the first member having a lower specific gravity than the second member.
Power transmission shaft
A propeller shaft as a power transmission shaft is provided between vehicle-side first second shaft parts, and a first tube as a first shaft member is connected to the first shaft part through a first joint member and to the second shaft part through a second joint member. The first tube is connected to the first joint member through a first collar member and to the second joint member through a second collar member. The first collar member includes a first main body part exposed from a first end portion of the first tube, and a first insertion part inserted into the inside of the first end portion. In at least the first collar member, the maximum value of the outer diameter of the first main body part is set to be no greater than the maximum value of the outer diameter of the first insertion part.
Constant velocity universal joint
A constant velocity universal joint has an outer joint member and an inner joint member that transmits torque while permitting angular displacement due to balls between the inner and outer joint members. An attaching and detaching mechanism for attaching and detaching a power transmission shaft to and from the inner joint member is provided between the inner joint member and the power transmission shaft such that torque can be transmitted between the two. The attaching and detaching mechanism has a cylindrical member that fits over the power transmission shaft, a retaining ring that is radially movable, and an annular member that is axially movable. By using a boot band to fixedly tighten, to the power transmission shaft, a small diameter end portion of a boot closing an opening portion of the outer joint member, the axial position of the annular member is restricted by the small diameter end portion.
Linear electromechanical actuator and method for assembling the output member of such actuator
A linear electromechanical actuator includes a housing, an electric motor, an output member, and a roller screw drive arranged within the housing. The roller screw drive includes a rod and a screw connected to each other to form the output member. The rod has an axial opening at the end proximal to the screw, and the screw has a connecting section at the end proximal to the rod with a plurality of longitudinal teeth arranged along the perimeter of the connecting section and embedded into the surface of the axial opening. The actuator further includes a retainer engaged with the rod and the screw for preventing a relative longitudinal movement thereof. Methods are also provided for assembling the output element of the actuator.
MOTIVE POWER TRANSMISSION APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR ASSEMBLING SAME
The present disclosure proposes a motive power transmission apparatus (10), comprising: a first shaft (100), extending along a central axis and comprising a hollow cavity (130), with a first spline part (110) provided on an inner peripheral wall of the hollow cavity; a second shaft (200), extending along the central axis and comprising a second spline part (210) provided on an outer peripheral wall of the second shaft, the second spline part being engaged with the first spline part to enable the second shaft to rotate together with the first shaft; wherein the motive power transmission apparatus (10) further comprises a sealing cap (300), the sealing cap comprising a base part (310) and a circumferential part (320) extending around the base part, and the sealing cap is configured to be elastically deformable.
Splined oil catcher
A system is presented for directing the flow of cooling fluid in a rotational machine having co-axial rotatable shafts. The system comprises a first shaft rotatable about an axis, a second shaft rotatable about the axis and having a portion axially overlapping with the first shaft, and a fluid catcher. The fluid catcher is coupled between the first shaft and the second shaft. The fluid catcher comprises a first interface region interfacing with the first shaft, a second interface region interfacing with the second shaft, a fluid retention lip at least partly defining an oil capture region; and a body. The body is coupled to the oil retention lip and defines a channel in fluid communication with the oil capture region. The channel is positioned to direct fluid to one of the first interface region or the second interface region.
