The invention discloses a thin-wall-long-shaft-low-noise transmission mechanism for pedestal pumps, which includes a stainless steel pipe, a bushing, a pump body, an impeller and a motor, the motor is arranged above the stainless steel pipe, the bushings are embedded at both ends of the stainless steel pipe, the impeller includes an impeller hub shaft, the motor includes a motor shaft, the impeller hub shaft passed through the pump body and connected to the bushing which is embedded in one end of the stainless steel pipe. Through the above solution, this present invention provides a thin-wall-long-shaft-low-noise transmission mechanism for pedestal pumps, the machining precision of thin wall stainless steel pipe is higher than that of a solid metal shaft and a plastic shaft, the strength is higher than that of a plastic shaft, and the noise reduced when the pump is working.

A composite vehicle driveshaft is provided with a crash collapse system that allows for a controlled longitudinal collapse of the driveshaft by facilitating telescopic movement of various components with respect to each other during a crash event. The crash collapse system may include a collapsible joint with a sleeve that is concentrically bonded in an end of a composite tube and a stub end assembly that is spline-engaged and interference fit within the sleeve, such as by way of a press-fit and/or a thermal shrink-fit procedure. This relationship may rotationally lock and axially fix the stub end assembly to the sleeve unless, during a crash event, the composite vehicle driveshaft experiences a compression or push-type force that exceeds a minimum breakaway or collapse force value that longitudinally and telescopically collapses the composite vehicle driveshaft.

A driveshaft assembly for use in a vehicle. The driveshaft assembly has a tubular shaft having a first receiving end portion with a hollow interior and a driveshaft end having an insert end portion with a main insert portion, a spacer mounting seat and a spacer catch surface extending therebetween. The main insert portion has a diameter greater than a diameter of the spacer mounting seat. A spacer a first end portion with a first opening, a center portion with a wall portion, and a second end portion with a lip portion having a second opening and a transition portion. The second opening has an inner diameter that is less than an inner diameter of said first opening. A terminal surface defining the second opening is disposed radially outboard from the spacer mounting seat and a portion of the lip portion extends substantially perpendicular to the wall portion.

A motor includes: a motor shaft including a press-fitting surface; and a first annular projection group and a second annular projection group formed in the press-fitting surface of the motor shaft. The first annular projection group and the second annular projection group are separated from each other in an axial direction, a distance between an adjacent two of annular projections in the first annular projection group and a distance between an adjacent two of annular projections in the second annular projection group are smaller than a distance between the first annular projection group and the second annular projection group in the axial direction.

A rotor of a rotary machine includes a ring-like fixing member press-fit and fixed to a shaft so as to limit a position of a rotor core in a shaft axial direction and an end plate fixed to an outer peripheral side of the fixing member so as to limit a position of a magnet, embedded in the rotor core, in the shaft axial direction. Influences of a difference in thermal expansion between the shaft and the end plate are lessened by the fixing member. A material is selected so that a value of a coefficient of linear expansion of the fixing member becomes equal to an intermediate value between a coefficient of linear expansion of the shaft made of iron and a coefficient of linear expansion of the end plate made of a non-magnetic body.

A heat treatment method is provided in which a first steel component (11) formed with a coating (111) thereon is fitted in first holes (123, 124) of a second steel component (12) subjected to a quenching treatment. The heat treatment method includes a heating step of heating the second steel component to a first temperature (T.sub.1) equal to or higher than a tempering temperature (T.sub.0) of the second steel component and higher than a temperature of the first steel component by a temperature difference (T) for achieving shrink fitting and a shrink-fitting step of shrink-fitting the first steel component in the first holes of the second steel component in a state of maintaining the temperature difference for achieving shrink fitting between the first steel component and the second steel component.

The invention relates to a clutch hub. The clutch hub (1) comprises a hub body (2) with an axial passage opening (4) for receiving a shaft (5) and with in each case one face side (3a, 3b) at the two axial ends of the passage opening (4). An internal surface (6) is formed in the passage opening (4), and a flat surface (7a, 7b) annularly surrounding the passage opening (4) is formed on each of the face sides (3a, 3b). The internal surface (6) is covered by an electrical insulation coating (8) in the form of a ceramic coating. The electrical insulation coating (8) also, in continuous fashion, covers a respective annular region (9a, 9b), surrounding the passage opening (4), on the flat surfaces (7a, 7b) and a transition region (10a, 10b) formed between the internal surface (6) and the respective annular region (9a 9b).
