An oil sump is mounted on an assembly formed by a crankcase and a flywheel housing of an internal combustion engine. The flywheel housing has a first parting plane to the crankcase and to the oil sump. In mounted state, the joint faces of the flywheel housing, the crankcase, and the oil sump lie on each other. The crankcase has a second parting plane to the oil sump. In mounted state the joint faces of the crankcase and the oil sump lie on each other. At least one guide is provided between the flywheel housing and the oil sump, the guide orienting at least the joint faces of the oil sump and the crankcase relative to each other during connection of the oil sump to the assembly formed by the crankcase and flywheel housing, such that on creation of the abutment connection between the oil sump and the crankcase, these joint faces are oriented substantially planar parallel.

The present invention relates to a slider driving mechanism on a CNC assembly machine for assembled camshaft. The mechanism includes a servo motor (1), the host frame (5), ball screw (6), linear guides (9) and the slider body (8), wherein, the servo motor (1), ball screw (6) and linear guides (9) are mounted vertically on the host frame (5). The servo motor (1) connects with the ball screw. The slider body (8) connects with both the ball screw (6) and the linear guides (9). It is driven by a ball screw (6) and moves along a linear guides (9) in the vertical direction. The present invention is novel. It not only can greatly improve the assembly speed of cam, hexahedron on assembled camshaft and improve productivity, but also can eliminate complex gear system. It makes the manufacturing and processing more simple. The installation is also more convenient. It can further improve product quality and manufacturing precision of assembled camshaft.

An apparatus for assembling an overhead camshaft that comprises a hollow outer shaft having at least one slot formed, an inner shaft having at least one pin hole formed, at least one first cam lobe, and at least one second cam lobe. The apparatus comprises a first fixture having two journals, on which the outer shaft is disposed, formed at opposite ends thereof. A second fixture has a plurality of journals on which at least two of the at least one first cam lobe and the at least one second cam lobe are disposed. A third fixture restricts upward and downward and rotational movements of at least one of the outer shaft, the at least one first cam lobe, and the at least one second cam lobe.

A system and methods for disassembling a rotary machine are provided. The rotary machine includes a casing having a plurality of arcuate channels. The system includes a reaction bridge that is configured to couple to the casing of the rotary machine such that the reaction bridge is moveable along a length of the casing. The reaction bridge includes a front support and a rear support that is substantially parallel to the front support. Each of the supports includes a first leg, a second leg, and a support beam extending therebetween. A force device including an actuator and an engaging rod extending therefrom is coupled to the reaction bridge. The force device is configured to apply a force substantially tangentially to a segment positioned in one of the casing arcuate channels.

A method for retrofitting an already existing gas turbine power plant is provided. The method features at least the following steps: fluidically connecting a gas turbine to a flue gas duct which is suitable for conducting flue gas which is produced by the gas turbine; connecting the flue gas duct to a steam generating unit which is fluidically connected to a water-steam cycle, and via which water-steam cycle a power generating facility can be operated; fluidically connecting a CO2 separation apparatus to the flue gas duct for separating the CO2 from the flue gas in the flue gas duct; and electrically connecting the power generating facility to the CO2 separation apparatus, preferably for the essentially energy-autonomous operation of the CO2 separation apparatus.

An assembly, has: a rotor of a rotary internal combustion engine, the rotor having two end faces and a peripheral face between the two end faces, the peripheral face defining apex portions circumferentially-spaced from one another, the rotor having seals, the seals including: apex seals extending between the two end faces and each located at a respective one of the apex portions, end seals engaging ends of the apex seals, and arc seals located on the two end faces and extending between the apex portions; and a tool engaged to the rotor and abutting the seals, the tool having: two cover plates, the rotor located between the two cover plates, the two cover plates abutting the end seals and the arc seals; and posts secured to one or more of the two cover plates and extending between the two cover plates, the posts abutting the apex seals.

A vehicle disassembly system for disassembling a vehicle by moving the vehicle through a plurality of discrete workstations specifically adapted for select de-pollution and dismantling procedures encountered during the end-of-life vehicle recycling process. A vehicle disassembly system exemplifying the principles of the present invention may comprise a primary de-pollution and disassembly line and an engine disassembly line. The primary de-pollution and disassembly line may include one or more de-pollution stations, one or more intermediate, part removal stations, and a conveyor apparatus for transmitting the end-of-life vehicle from the de-pollution stations to the part removal stations. The engine disassembly line may include an overhead track support frame, a trolley assembly, one or more height adjustable loading tables, one or more height adjustable work tables, and one or more height adjustable un-loading tables. The vehicle disassembly system may also comprise an engine cleaning apparatus positioned proximate to the height adjustable un-loading tables of the engine disassembly line.
