摘要:
A novel process is disclosed by which contorted or distorted sheet gauge steel and other metal scrap material, generated by stamping and other deforming metal-working operations, is flattened by rolls (50,60) for the purpose of increasing the bulk density and to provide a scrap product that can more efficiently be transported and used for remelting in steel-making and foundry furnaces. The process involves the steps of feeding contorted sheet metal scrap between a pair of moving compressive surfaces, compressing the scrap to substantial flatness, and discharging the flattened steel scrap. The novel apparatus for performing the process is also disclosed.

A rotary bending tool (10) having a series of graphite plugs (34) mounted in a saddle recess engaging a rocker (12) surface to lubricate the same. The rocker (12) is machined in an unhardened state and thereafter heat treated to be hardened, with reverse bending of the rocker (12) thereafter carried out to correct any warpage.

A servo motor (24;68) driven tapping unit (20) for in die installation has a tap holder pitch adapter assembly mounted for removal while the unit is in the die (10) to facilitate tap (50;66) and pitch adapter (58,60;82,86) replacement. In one embodiment, the tap holder pitch adapter assembly extends transversely to the servo motor axis, and is offset in another embodiment.

A post bearing (10) and method of manufacture in which bearing balls (14) are loaded into a series of pocket holes (16) arranged along a helical pattern in a sleeve cage (12). A single groove (26) is swaged into the outside diameter of the sleeve intermediate the ball turns to capture the balls in the pocket holes.

The disclosure relates to a variable force die spring (20) as disclosed which combines high force, short axial compression distance spring assembly (72), such as belleville springs, and low force, high axial compression distance springs (70), such as coil springs, in a telescoping casing (24,26) having an internal cavity (60). The springs are arranged within the cavity so that upon receiving a load the low force spring will compress first resulting in a large axial compression and low force resistance. The load applied to the telescoping casing (24,26) will then transition from the low force spring to the high force spring. The high force spring then compresses as the load continues to be applied. In alternative embodiments, a third intermediate spring is addred that compresses moderate distances under moderate pressure thereby increasing the overall axial compression and load capacity capabilities of the spring assembly. In any embodiment, the invention results in a spring that provides high forces and low axial compression when it is nearly fully compressed and low forces and high axial compression at all other stages of compression.
摘要:
A fluid-pressure operated punching apparatus (10) includes an elongated substantially cylindrical punch support assembly (31) slidably disposed for reciprocatory, lengthwise sliding movement in a cylindrical opening (13) in a body (11). The punch support assembly (31) has a piston head (36) at the rearward end thereof and a piston rod (35) extending lengthwise forwardly from the piston head (34). A punch retainer (33) is mounted on the forward end of the piston rod (35) and carries a punch (78). Annular sealing means (50) are provided on the piston head for sealingly engaging the internal surface defining the cylindrical opening (13) of the elongated body. A fluid pressure supply port (94) is formed in the body (11) for supplying pressure fluid to move the punch support (31) assembly toward the forward end of the body (11).
