A hydrostatic bearing apparatus includes a bearing metal having a hydrostatic portion that allows a grinding wheel shaft to be rotatably supported. The hydrostatic portion has a bearing clearance, a bearing surface portion, a plurality of pockets, and partition plates. Clearances are each formed between the corresponding partition plate and an edge of the corresponding pocket in a rotating direction of the grinding wheel shaft. The clearances are formed in the pocket at upstream and downstream ends in the rotating direction. The bearing clearance has a first bearing clearance and a second bearing clearance. The second bearing clearance is larger than the first bearing clearance.

The present invention discloses a brake drum comprising: a brake drum body, which comprises a mounting portion for connecting a wheel, a braking portion for engagement with a brake shoe, and a transitional connecting portion disposed between the mounting portion and the braking portion; a hoop device is tightly mounted to the outer peripheral surface of the brake portion. The hoop device adopts a plurality of split-type hoop ferrules, or one unibody hollowed-out hoop case. The hoop device tightly mounted to the outer peripheral surface of the brake portion can not only effectively restrain the radial expansion deformation, thereby improving the fatigue resistance of the brake drum body, but also applies a clasp force to the brake drum body, thereby avoiding the danger of burst and flying out of the brake drum body, which greatly improves service life and safety. Moreover, the thickness of the brake portion wall corresponding to the hoop device can be effectively reduced, which not only effectively decreases the temperature difference between the interior and exterior of the brake drum body, but also increases heat conductivity, thereby laying foundation for both heat dissipation and prevention of the happening of the multiple cracks in the inner wall of the brake drum body.

A method for manufacturing an assembled camshaft for valve-controlled internal combustion engines, in which at least one cam disc with a base circle region and cam region is machined on the running surface and has a cam-disc recess, includes shrinking the cam disc onto a corresponding shaft designed with a defined dimensional overlap by cooling the shaft and heating the cam disc. Temporally before being shrunk onto the shaft, the at least one cam disc is clamped by a clamping device such that a tension force acts on the recess wall region, which defines the cam-disc recess, the tension force corresponding to a predetermined extent to the state of stresses and/or deformation state of the recess wall region after the operation of shrinking the cam disc onto the corresponding shaft. The running-surface machining of the at least one cam disc takes place when the cam disc is clamped by the clamping device.

A method of assembling an apparatus for delivering an implant to a deployment site in a patient's vasculature, includes: positioning an implant engagement member at least partially within a lumen of a tubular structure, the tubular structure having a sidewall comprising a pattern of wires or struts; heating the implant engagement member; pressing at least a portion of the sidewall of the tubular structure radially inward into a surface of the implant engagement member so that the wires or the struts of the sidewall penetrate into the surface and create corresponding recesses therein; and after the recesses are created in the surface of the implant engagement member, hardening the implant engagement member.

A lubrication pinion module for applying a lubricant onto a to-be-lubricated element includes a gear element having an inner surface mounted on an outer surface of a bearing element, the bearing element being mountable for rotation on a shaft and having at least one recess on its outer surface, and the gear element including a plurality of radially outwardly facing gear teeth, each of the plurality of gear teeth having first and second flanks, and at least one projection on the gear element inner surface extending into the at least one recess of the bearing element outer surface to form an interference fit with the bearing element such that the gear element rotates conjointly with the bearing element.

A method for assembling a camshaft from a support shaft and components to be connected to the support shaft, the components having through-openings for receiving the support shaft. In this method, a support shaft is provided, having first diametrical enlargements in first regions, in which the components are to be secured, and second diametrical enlargements in second regions, in which the components are to be pre-positioned. A diameter (D2) in the second regions is smaller than a diameter (D1) in the first regions The support shaft is cooled and/or the components are heated up, so that the support shaft can be pushed with its first and second diametrical enlargements through the through-openings of the components.

A connecting method includes: measuring at least one of control dimensions that influence a dimension of a member obtained by connection of a first member and a second member to each other, the second member including a connection insertion portion where the first member is inserted; determining, according to the at least one of the control dimensions, a relative position for positioning the first member and the second member by insertion of the first member in the connection insertion portion; heating the second member to a first temperature; inserting the first member in the connection insertion portion to place the first member and the second member in the relative position; and stopping the heating of the second member and maintaining the first member and the second member in the relative position.

Embodiments of golf clubs with grooves and methods of manufacture thereof are described herein. In one embodiment of a golf club described herein, the golf club has a head with a body. The body has a strike face with channels and at least one insert located within at least one of the channels. At least one of the channels comprises a single groove, and the insert forms at least a portion of the single groove. At least one of the channels comprises an opening on the strike face that is narrower than a bottom of the at least one of the channels. Other embodiments and related methods are also disclosed herein.

A method for joining components of a vehicle drive axle assembly. The method includes heating an axle housing to a first predetermined temperature and cooling a pinion cartridge to be installed with the housing to a second predetermined temperature. Removing the axle housing from exposure to the first predetermined temperature and removing the pinion cartridge from the second predetermined temperature and rapidly installing the pinion cartridge within the axle assembly before the axle assembly and the pinion return to ambient temperature provides a frictional fit, joining the two components without use of additional fastening devices.
