A system for machining and positioning an automobile hub and a production line for intelligent cleaning and precision including upper and lower mounting plates connected vertically. At least three U-shaped blocks are fixed on a top surface of the upper plate. An L-shaped support is mounted between every two blocks including a screw-equipped ball head disposed thereon. The support is driven by a first driving apparatus to move along the upper mounting plate. A slidable chuck is disposed in each block, with a push rod assembly connected to the bottom. The assembly is driven by a second driving apparatus to move along the upper mounting plate with the chuck. Three wedges are circumferentially fixed on a top surface of the lower plate and are driven by a third driving apparatus to move along the lower plate. Inclined surfaces of the wedges are mated with bottoms of the push rod assemblies.

A gripping tool (2), a system, a clamping unit (35) and a method of handling objects (6), where the gripping tool (2) comprises a transmission mechanism arranged in a housing (7), wherein the transmission mechanism is coupled to a plurality of arms (11) located outside the housing (7). The arms (11) extend in a radial plane from a first end (15) to a second end (16), where one or more gripping fingers (12) are arranged on each arm (11). The gripping fingers (12) may be repositioned on the arm (11), or multiple gripping fingers (12) may be arranged on the same arm (11). The arm (11) preferably has a bent or curved profile where the bending line or curvature is facing a central longitudinal axis (A) of the housing (7).

A device for selectively grasping a part of a separate elongated body extending through the device, includes at least three partially mobile jaw members defining between them a through hole of variable diameter depending on their mutual relative positioning, supporting and driving elements to which the jaw members are mounted and which are adapted to provide a coordinated motion to the members around the elongated body situated in the variable through hole, resulting in a closing or opening of the through hole. The jaw members have an elongated shape with two opposed ends and the supporting and driving elements include a circular or annular support body to which a first end of each jaw member is connected and a mobile annular driving body to which a second opposed end of each jaw member is connected.

On an inner peripheral surface defining a through hole of a first rotator, provided is a positioning member for bringing the center axis of a contact tip, housed in the through hole, into alignment with a rotational axis, or making the former axis proximate to the latter axis, by coming into contact with an outer peripheral surface of the contact tip.

A blade attachment-detachment assisting apparatus includes a nut rotating part having an engagement pin that engages with an engagement hole of a nut, a nut grip part that grips an annular groove of the nut, a housing that supports the nut rotating part rotatably by a predetermined angle, and a lock mechanism. The nut rotating part is capable of advancing and retreating, relative to the housing, to a protrusion position and a fixing position at which engagement between the nut grip part and the nut is kept, and is fixed to the housing with the intermediary of a spring. The lock mechanism includes an inside surface by which advancing and retreating of the nut rotating part are restricted through engagement of the nut rotating part with the housing when the housing is rotated in one direction at the fixing position to which the nut rotating part has been pushed.

An adjustable hub adapter for coupling an on-car brake lathe to a wheel hub. An annular support frame coaxially carries an axially bored and threaded central mounting hub with a set of equidistantly spaced spokes. A lug bolt receiver is associated with each spoke, and consists of a receiving tube, a lever arm pivotally coupled to the spoke at a pivot bolt in proximity to the annular support frame. An engagement pin on each lever arm is captured within a synchronizing ring carried on the annular support frame. The rotational movement of any lug bolt receiver about an axis of the pivot bolt imparts rotational movement to the synchronizing ring, and in turn, causes each remaining bolt receiver to rotate about an associated pivot bolt axis, maintaining the lug bolt receivers in a synchronized and symmetric radial displacement from the central mounting hub.

A tool for engaging drive flanks of a threaded nut has a tool body with a central cavity. Cam surfaces are formed in an inner wall of the central cavity. A retainer secured within the central cavity has an outward-facing slot. A jaw for each of the cam surfaces has a curved outer side in contact with one of the cam surfaces and a drive surface on an inner side for engaging one of the drive flanks of the nut. A foot extends inward from a lower end of each of the jaws into the slot to retain the jaws within the central cavity. Rotating the tool body relative to the jaws moves the drive surfaces of the jaws from a retracted position to a gripping position in engagement with the drive flanks of the nut.

A device for fixing a cylinder, the device including a first outer casing; a rotatable inner casing; a second outer casing; a plurality of curved blades; and at least one transmission. The second outer casing is in threaded connection to the first outer casing, and includes a first bearing, a second bearing, a third bearing, a first division plate including a first through hole and a first arc groove, and a second division plate including a second through hole and a second arc groove. Each curved blade includes a first connection rod having a ball head, a second connection rod pivotally connected to the first connection rod via the ball head, and a slot. The at least one transmission includes a gear shaft, a first ring gear, a first pinion, a second ring gear, a second pinion, and a shaft pin.

A device for mounting a ring gear of an epicyclic gear train, the ring gear including a front ring gear and a rear ring gear, the device including: a plurality of longitudinal guides; a front mounting forming a portion of circle, including: at least two holes for passing the guides; a plurality of first system for supporting and rotating the front ring gear relative to the axis thereof, movable between a first position in which the front ring gear is supported and can rotate relative to the axis thereof and a second position in which the front ring gear is not supported; a rear mounting forming a portion of circle, including: at least two holes for passing the guides; and a plurality of second system for supporting and rotating the rear ring gear relative to the axis thereof, movable between a third position in which the rear ring gear is supported and can rotate relative to the axis thereof and a fourth position in which the rear ring gear is not supported.
