A positioning fixture including a shielding member and a driving member is provided. The shielding member includes a sliding part slidably connected to a functional module, a guiding part, and a shielding part. The sliding part and the shielding part respectively extend from two opposite ends of the guiding part. The driving member is movably disposed on the functional module corresponding to the shielding member. The driving member includes a base part, a driving part that contacts the guiding part, and a pillar part, which protrudes from the base part and is adapted to pass through the guiding groove. When the functional module is positioned on the circuit board, the base part of the driving member is pushed by the electronic component, and the guiding part is pushed by the driving part, so that the shielding member slides and the shielding part shields a screw hole of the circuit board.

A cable routing fastener includes a body and an optional arm extending therefrom, a head projecting from the body, a cover adjacent the arm so movement of the cover is temporarily restricted by the arm, and a cable connector. The body inserts into an aperture in a panel and positions the head and cable connector adjacent the panel. The head includes an indicia element indicating assembly status of the fastener, i.e., whether it is properly installed or not. The cover conceals the element in a concealed mode, and moves relative to the head to an exposed mode so the indicia element is exposed for reading. The arm moves when the body is inserted so the arm no longer interferes with movement of the cover, so the cover can be moved by a user, transitioning from the concealed mode to the exposed mode. A related method of use is provided.

A journal bearing for centering a misaligned pin is disclosed. The journal bearing includes an outer bushing defining an outer bore. The outer bore is offset with respect to an axis of rotation of the journal bearing by a misalignment distance. The misalignment distance represents a distance between the axis of rotation of the journal bearing and a center axis of the misaligned pin. The journal bearing further includes an inner bushing defining an inner bore. The inner bore is offset with respect to the axis of rotation of the journal bearing by the misalignment distance. The inner bushing is seated within the outer bore of the outer bushing. The inner bushing and the outer bushing are both configured to rotate relative to one another to center an inner periphery of the inner bushing around the misaligned pin.

A load indicator apparatus which is compact, portable and detachably mounted on the tie-rod. The load indicator apparatus includes a first reference fixture configured for attachment at a first position on the tie-rod, a second fixture configured for attachment at a second position on the tie-rod and an elongation gauge extending between the first reference fixture and the second fixture and configured to measure displacement of the second fixture relative to the first reference fixture during elongation of the tie-rod. A displacement transducer is connected to the second fixture to measure a capacitance value proportional to the loading acting on the tie-rod and transfers it to a load monitoring unit which translates the measured capacitance into a visual load reading and an electronic load output value.
