While the loading member supporting mechanism moves the loading member from the workpiece set state to the workpiece retracted state and returns to the workpiece set state again, the displacement drive unit and the rotation drive unit perform an operation of disposing the workpiece holding portion arranged at the processing position to the replacement position and an operation of disposing the workpiece holding portion disposed at the replacement position to the processing position in a trajectory in which the loading member does not interfere with the shoe.

This stabilizer link includes a metal support bar, and ball joints that are provided at both ends of the support bar. Each ball joint includes a ball stud one end of which is fastened to a suspension device or a stabilizer, and which has a ball part at the other end thereof, and a housing that rotatably supports the ball part of the ball stud. The support bar includes: a body part extending in a nearly linear shape, and reinforcement parts each having a nearly annular shape and each provided at both ends of the body part. The reinforcement parts of the support bar are each embedded in the housing so as to surround the ball part.

A method for machining a bearing ring of a rolling bearing includes clamping a blank for the bearing ring in a machining machine, and applying a pulsating pressure using a machining body to structure and simultaneously harden an annularly closed sealing surface of the blank. The machining body may be a spherical machining body. The method may also include removing material from the blank to produce a bearing ring track using the same clamping. The blank may be rotated during the applying a pulsating pressure step and the removing material step.
