The invention relates to a testing device for material wear of cycloidal gear and needle bearing of RV reducer, comprising: an upper cover (1), a lower cover (2), two sliding shafts (3 and 3′), two connecting shafts (4 and 4′), a driven shaft component (5), two copper sleeves (6 and 6′), two nuts (7 and 7′), two disc springs (8 and 8′), an eccentric shaft component (9), a needle bearing (10), two planetary gears (11 and 11′), two cycloidal gears (12 and 12′), and a motor assembly (13). The device can be installed on various industrial platforms. The motor drives the planetary gear to rotate, and then drives the eccentric shaft to rotate. The first bearing hole of the cycloidal gear fits with the needle bearing and forms a revolute pair with the eccentric shaft. Owning to the eccentric shaft, the cycloidal gears (12 and 12′) are driven to swing. The other bearing hole fits with the sliding shaft (3 and 3′) and the connecting shaft (4 and 4′) to form a loaded rolling friction pair. Then the cycloidal gear drives the sliding shaft to perform reciprocating movement along the track of cavity. The connecting shaft (4 and 4′) and the sliding shaft (3 and 3′) exert the load on the cycloidal gear (12 and 12′) and needle bearing (10) by compressing the disc springs via the nuts. After a specified time of operation, measure the diameter of bearing holes of cycloidal gear and the outer diameter of needle bearing, then evaluate the material wear of the two components. It provides reliable testing data for the selection of material and the determination of heat treatment process of the cycloidal gear and needle bearing. The invention solves the difficult problem for measuring the material wear of cycloidal gear and needle bearing, which are the key components of RV reducer.

A system and method for measuring an inside diameter of a pipe to determine if it exceeds a predetermined value using a plurality of fingers operatively connected to a spring. When in a fully extended position, the distance between opposite fingers is the predetermined value. The fingers are pivotable between a starting position, through the fully extended position, and to a failing position. In the starting position, an outer end of each finger engages an inside surface of the pipe to compress the spring. If the diameter exceeds the predetermined value as the system moves through the pipe, the pipe inside surface will no longer engage the fingers, which releases the spring causing the fingers to pivot to the failing position, where they remain until the system is removed from the pipe and manually reset.

Generally, a device to measure the circumference of circular objects. Specifically, a device including a pair of slidingly engaged members disposed between a pair of arms configured to be engaged with tread on a tire at about the midline of a wheel, an electrical circuit which varies in output voltage based on the distance between the pair of arms, and a processor communicatively coupled to a non-transitory computer readable medium containing a program which correlates the output voltage of the electrical circuit to a unit measure of distance between the pair of arms and calculates tire circumference.

The invention provides a solution according to which the diameters of a large plurality of cylindrical measuring pins (1A-1E) can be measured fast and accurately, while using an affordable, non-complex and universally applicable measuring apparatus. In concise summary, the key features of the invention are formed by using a two-dimensional tracing apparatus (10) having a simultaneous holding structure (12) for simultaneously holding the measuring pins in fixed positions relative to the apparatus frame (11), while the measuring pins are alongside one another with their central axes parallel to one another, and by performing first and second joint tracing operations by tracing against and along diametrically opposite first and second parts of first and second circular sections of the cylindrical outer surfaces of the measuring pins, to thereby determine measured values of the diameters.
