There is provided a control device for a power steering device that provides stable steering feeling in the vicinity of a stroke end. The control device for the power steering device is configured to calculate a stopper torque that is a steering force in a direction opposite to a direction causing a turning angle to approach a stopper angle, based on a steering torque signal, when the turning angle approaches the stopper angle accompanied with a steering operation of a steering wheel, and configured to calculate a motor command signal that is used to drive a power-driven motor, based on a driving condition of a vehicle and the stopper torque.

An embodiment provides a sensing apparatus comprising: a first rotation part; a second rotation part in which the first rotation part is disposed; a housing in which the second rotation part is disposed; and a first metal member disposed between the housing and the second rotation part, wherein the second rotation part includes a first holder and a second holder combined with the first holder, and the first metal member includes a body disposed between the first holder and the housing and a first flange portion extending radially outward from the body.

A monitoring and diagnostics system for a machine having a plurality of rotating components includes a powertrain with a plurality of rotating components and a vibration sensor. The vibration sensor include a vibration sensor element and a sensor controller. The vibration sensor is disposed adjacent one of the plurality of rotating components. The vibration sensor element is configured to generate raw vibration data indicative of vibrations of the vibration sensor element. The sensor controller is configured to access a vibration threshold, access a time threshold, receive the raw vibration data from the vibration sensor element, generate condition indicators based upon the raw vibration data; compare the condition indicators to the vibration threshold, and if the condition indicators exceed the vibration threshold for a time exceeding the time threshold, transmit a predetermined amount of raw vibration data to a remote system remote from the machine.

Powered wheel assemblies and methods of manufacturing and operating such assemblies are provided.

A heat radiation base body extending in a direction of a rotation shaft of an electric motor close to the rotation shaft is provided at an end surface of a motor housing accommodating the electric motor. A board of one electronic control unit of a redundant system is fixed to the heat radiation base body along the direction in which heat radiation base body extends with thermal conduction allowed. A board of the other electronic control unit of redundant system is fixed to the heat radiation base body along a direction in which the heat radiation base body extends, so as to face the board of one electronic control unit, with thermal conduction allowed. A cover covering these is fixed to an end surface of the motor housing without a bolt. Thus, a housing accommodating the electronic control unit is not necessary. A sealing part is only the connecting portion between the motor housing and cover, thereby eliminating additional structure of the sealing part, sealing component required for seal and bolt.

To efficiently and stably produce an H-shaped steel product with a flange width larger than a conventional flange width and prevent a shape defect from occurring in shaping using a flat shaping caliber at a rough rolling step. A rolling mill that performs the rough rolling step is engraved with a plurality of calibers configured to shape a material to be rolled, the number of the plurality of calibers being five or more; shaping in one or a plurality of passes is performed on the material to be rolled in the plurality of calibers; a first caliber and a second caliber of the plurality of calibers are formed with projections configured to create splits vertically with respect to a width direction of the material to be rolled; in the second caliber and subsequent calibers of the plurality of calibers, reduction is performed in a state where end surfaces of the material to be rolled are in contact with peripheral surfaces of the calibers in shaping in at least one pass or more; in a third caliber and subsequent calibers excluding a final caliber of the plurality of calibers, a step of sequentially bending divided parts formed by the splits is performed; and the final caliber of the plurality of calibers is a flat shaping caliber, and rolling and shaping in the flat shaping caliber is performed under a rolling condition that a pulldown rate is 1.0 or less.

A wheel bolt torque monitoring system for a vehicle includes a torque sensor disposed at each bolt that is used to mount a wheel at a wheel mount of a vehicle. A transmitting device is disposed at the wheel mount of the vehicle, and the transmitting device receives data from the torque sensors at the wheel mounted at the wheel mount. The transmitting device transmits data to a control unit, which processes data received from the transmitting device to determine when a torque at a bolt is below a threshold torque level. Responsive to the control unit determining that a torque at a bolt is below the threshold torque level, the control unit generates an alert.

Powered wheel assemblies and methods of manufacturing and operating such assemblies are provided.
