STEERING SHAFT ASSEMBLY
A steering shaft assembly includes a first member having a first member inner surface and a first member outer surface. Each surface extending between a first member first end and a first member second end along an axis. A second member having a second member inner surface and a second member outer surface. Each surface extending between a second member first end and a second member second end along the axis. The first member first end arranged to be received within the second member such that the second member inner surface is disposed about a portion of the first member outer surface. Also included is a shaft extending from a third member. The shaft extending into the first member second end along the axis.
GEAR MOTOR HAVING A GEARING SYSTEM, AN ELECTRIC MOTOR, AND AN ADAPTER
A gear motor includes a gearing system, an electric motor, and an adapter. The adapter is situated between the electric motor and the gearing system, the adapter has an adapter shaft, the adapter shaft is at least partially inserted into an input shaft of the gearing system, the adapter shaft is connected to the input shaft in a torsionally fixed manner with the aid of a bellows, and a sealing ring is situated between the adapter shaft and the input shaft.
COUPLING DEVICE AND ROTATIONAL PHASE ADJUSTMENT METHOD FOR COUPLING DEVICE
A coupling device configured to transmit a rotational force between a first shaft and a second shaft, the device including a first coupling member mounted on the first shaft, a second coupling member mounted on the second shaft, and an intermediate member disposed between the first coupling member and the second coupling member, and configured to allow misalignment between the first shaft and the second shaft. The second coupling member includes a base member configured to be fixed to the intermediate member by a first fastening device, and a shaft mounting member configured to relatively non-rotatably be mounted on the second shaft, the shaft mounting member having a long hole extending along a circumferential direction of the above-described axis and being configured to detachably be fixed to the base member by a second fastening device inserted through the long hole.

SPLIT SPROCKETS FOR USE IN CONVEYOR SYSTEMS
A split sprocket for use in a modular conveyor belt is disclosed. The split sprocket includes first and second portions that may be selectively arranged in a first configuration in which the sprocket maintains a fixed axial position on the shaft and a second configuration in which the sprocket can axially float along the shaft.
VEHICLE STEERING DEVICE AND ASSEMBLING METHOD THEREOF
A vehicle steering device includes a positioning clip configured to align a pinion shaft with a joint portion of a steering shaft, wherein the pinion shaft includes a torsion bar and a tubular member having the torsion bar inserted thereinto, an upper end of the torsion bar is axially further away from the joint portion than an upper end of the tubular member, the positioning clip includes an inserted portion to be inserted into the tubular member, and a gap between the inserted portion and the tubular member is sealed.
TORQUE TUBE COUPLER
A first embodiment of a torque tube coupler may include an outer body that includes a first abutting surface and a second abutting surface adjacent to the first abutting surface. Set screws may be inserted into one or more channels of the first abutting surface. Tightening the set screws may force the abutting surfaces away from each other and the outer body to press against an inner surface of a torque tube. Another embodiment of the torque tube coupler may include a central ring sized based on a size of a torque tube. The torque tube coupler may also include a set of fingers that extend away from a first side of the central ring and are shaped to flex radially outward. The torque tube coupler may include a core disposed within the set of fingers that, when drawn towards the central ring, causes the fingers to flex radially outwards.
Clamping hub
A clamping hub includes a body and an aperture, defined by the body, configured to receive a shaft. The clamping hub also includes a clamp configured to secure the shaft in the aperture. the clamp includes a first deformable component that defines a first portion of the aperture and configured to, when deformed, change a size of the aperture and a second deformable component that defines a second portion of the aperture opposite from the first portion of the aperture and configured to, when deformed, change the size of the aperture.
Bearing Unit With Optimized Clamping System
A bearing unit having a radially outer ring which is stationary, a radially inner ring, rotatable around a central rotation axis (X) of the bearing unit, provided, in an end portion thereof, with at least two segments of circular sectors separated by at least two grooves, a row of rolling elements interposed between the radially outer ring and the radially inner ring, and a collar for clamping the radially inner ring on to a shaft; each circular sector segment is provided with a lip having a thickness (s) and a step having a thickness (s+s1), wherein the thickness (s+s1) of the step is greater than the thickness (s) of the lip.
Torque transmission shaft
The torque transmission shaft includes: a shaft that is integrally formed and that has a yoke provided at one end portion in the axial direction and a female serration provided on the inner peripheral surface at the other end in the axial direction; and a clamp that is separate from the shaft and that is capable of reducing the diameter of the other end portion of the shaft in the axial direction; wherein the shaft and the clamp are fixed together.
