A system and method for manufacturing a top mount for a vehicle suspension includes providing a top mount body having a bushing opening and a plurality of stud holes, a plurality of knurled studs, and a bushing having a thermoplastic outer shell, a rubber core, and a central washer. The knurled studs are inserted in the stud holes of the top mount body. Then, substantially simultaneously, a pressure is applied to the knurled studs to press the knurled studs into the top mount body to crimp the knurled studs in the stud holes of the top mount body, and to insert the bushing into the bushing opening of the top mount body.

Methods and apparatus are disclosed for assembling a motor rotor. The apparatus includes a rotor fixing module, a conductive bar driving module, a plurality of conductive bars and a pump module. The rotor fixing module supports and holds the rotor. The conductive bar driving module has a plurality of assembling slots. When the pumping module is attached to the conductive bar driving module and each of the conductive bars seals the assembling slots, the pumping module and the assembling slots cooperatively form a sealed chamber, and the pumping module vacuums the sealed chamber to generate a suction force on each of the conductive bars, and the suction force further drives the conductive bars into the assembling slots. The method is for assembling the rotor by utilizing the same procedure mentioned above.

A press includes two components and a clamping element insertable in an axial direction, via an actuating element which is axially displaceable via an actuator, radially between a region of the first component and a region of the second component. The actuating element passes through the components and the clamping element in the axial direction. The actuating element at one end cooperates with the actuator and at the other end includes a cover element via which the actuating element is actively connected to the components. The clamping element is arranged between the cover element and the components, or between the components and a housing region of the actuator. The actuating element and/or the actuator is movable by the actuator, for insertion of the clamping element between the components, in a scope reducing an axial distance between the cover element and the housing region of the actuator.

A hub joint assembly for frictionally connecting a shaft to a connector includes a coupling hub including a collar portion and a flange portion. The collar portion includes a bore having an inner surface that is configured to be positioned adjacent to the outer surface of the shaft. The collar portion further includes an outer surface that may be conical. The flange portion extends from the collar portion and is configured to be coupled with the connector. The hub joint assembly further includes a clamp ring including a bore having an inner surface. The inner surface may be conical and configured to mate with the outer surface of the coupling hub. A passage is defined in the clamp ring and extends from an outer surface of the clamp ring to the inner surface of the clamp ring.

A bit holder can include a body and a collar. The body can be mountable to a rotor of a piece of equipment. The collar can be coupled to the body and can be configured to receive the bit therein. The collar can include a first flat collar surface forming a portion of a radially outer surface of the collar and a second flat collar surface forming a portion of the radially outer surface of the collar.
