Diaphragm interface apparatus to improve a cycle life of a diaphragm
Diaphragm interface apparatus to improve a cycle life of a diaphragm are described. An example fluid regulator includes a fluid flow passageway between an inlet and an outlet, where a sensing chamber defines a portion of the fluid flow passageway. A diaphragm senses a pressure in the sensing chamber and a diaphragm interface adjacent the sensing chamber has a curved surface to contact a portion of the diaphragm that moves in response to pressure changes in the sensing chamber. The curved surface affects an amount of stress imparted to the portion of the diaphragm during operation of the fluid regulator.
Industrial vehicle
An industrial vehicle includes a driving device, a travel control device configured to control the driving device, an object detection unit, a first control unit setting a limit value, when a vehicle speed of the industrial vehicle is in a first vehicle speed range, a second control unit setting the limit value when the vehicle speed of the industrial vehicle is in a second vehicle speed range, and a speed limit unit imposing the speed limit according to the limit value. The first control unit includes a starting prohibition control unit that sets the limit value and a starting permission control unit that sets the limit value. The speed limit unit imposes the speed limit according to the limit value set by the first control unit when the limit value is set by the starting permission control unit.
