Abstract:
The invention relates to a tilting segment (3, 3') for a tilting segment sliding bearing (1, 1') having a segment body (13, 13') for receiving bearing forces, wherein the segment body (13, 13') is made of a fiber-reinforced composite material. The invention is characterized in that the composite material comprises a polyether ketone, that the composite material has carbon fibers having a weight proportion of 25% to 70% as reinforcement fibers, and that the carbon fibers form a fabric that has a contour-parallel orientation to the sliding surface (8, 18) of the segment body (13, 13').

Provided is an internal gear pump integrally provided with a plain bearing requiring fewer machining steps, allowing inexpensive manufacture, and offering a highly stable seizing property. An internal gear pump (1) comprises: a trochoid (4), in which an inner rotor (3) having a plurality of outer teeth is eccentrically and rotatably accommodated in an outer rotor (2) having a plurality of inner teeth, the outer teeth meshing with the inner teeth, and in which a suction-side chamber for suctioning liquid and a discharge-side chamber for discharging the liquid that has been suctioned into the suction-side chamber are formed between the inner teeth and outer teeth; a drive shaft (9) fixed to the inner rotor (3); a casing (5) in which is formed a recess (5a) for accommodating the trochoid (4); and a cover (6) for closing off the recess (5a) of the casing (5). The cover (6) has a plain bearing part (11) for rotatably supporting the drive shaft (9), and the plain bearing part (11) is formed by injection-molding a thermoplastic resin composition directly onto the cover (6).
Abstract:
A ball bearing retainer (3) holds balls disposed between an inner ring and an outer ring, in pockets (Pt) formed at a plurality of portions, in a circumferential direction, of an annular body (5). The annular body (5) includes: annular parts (6, 6) disposed on both sides in an axial direction; and pillar parts (7) that are disposed at a plurality of portions in the circumferential direction and that connect between the annular parts (6, 6). The pockets (Pt) are formed by the annular parts (6, 6) and the pillar parts (7, 7) adjacent to each other in the circumferential direction, and allow ball guide. First contact portions of the pillar portions (7), which contact portions contact with the balls in the circumferential direction, are formed by first planes (8) that extend along the axial direction, and the balls are guided by the first planes (8).
Abstract:
A scroll compressor (100) includes: a casing (110) ; a main frame (120) fixed to the casing (110) and having a shaft insertion hole formed therein; a fixed scroll (150) fixed to the casing (110) and disposed above the main frame (120) ; an orbiting scroll (160) forming a compression chamber (P) together with the fixed scroll (150) and having a boss portion (162) formed on a lower surface thereof; a rotational shaft (143) having an end portion (14) insertedly fixed in the boss portion (162) in a state in which the rotational shaft (143) is insertedly positioned in the shaft insertion hole; and a lubricating layer (122) made of a PEEK material and formed in the shaft insertion hole or the boss portion (162) , wherein the lubricating layer is formed by applying a liquid material to the shaft insertion hole or the boss portion (162).

Abstract:
An outer ring (11), an inner ring (12), and a ball (13), each of which is a bearing part, are made of a quench-hardened steel containing not less than 0.90 mass % and not more than 1.05 mass % of carbon, not less than 0.15 mass % and not more than 0.35 mass % of silicon, not less than 0.01 mass % and not more than 0.50 mass % of manganese, and not less than 1.30 mass % and not more than 1.65 mass % of chromium with the rest consisting of an impurity. A contact surface (11A, 12A, 13A) thereof with another part has a nitrogen concentration of not less than 0.25 mass %. A remaining austenite amount in the contact surface is not less than 6 volume % and not more than 12 volume %.
Abstract:
Provided are a retainer for a ball bearing and a ball bearing, which are capable of reducing torque. The retainer for a ball bearing comprises two annular members that face each other in an axial direction thereof. The two annular members have opposed surfaces each comprising hemispherical pockets that are formed at a plurality of positions in a circumferential direction of each of the two annular members and configured to receive balls. The opposed surfaces are snap-fitted to each other so as to couple the two annular members to each other. The hemispherical pockets each have an inner peripheral surface provided with a ball contact surface and a ball non-contact surface. The ball contact surface is formed at a central portion in a pocket circumferential direction of the inner peripheral surface and at least at a central portion in a pocket axial direction of the inner peripheral surface. The ball non-contact surface comprises a recess that is recessed to an opposite side to corresponding one of the balls across the ball contact surface. The recess is opened in at least one of pocket axial ends.
Abstract:
A tapered roller bearing (31a) has a plurality of retainer segments (11a, 11d) each having a pocket to house a tapered roller (34a), and arranged so as to be continuously lined with each other in a circumferential direction between an outer ring (32a) and an inner ring (33a). The retainer segment (11a, 11d) is formed of a resin containing a filler material to lower a thermal linear expansion coefficient. In addition, a clearance (39a) is provided between the first retainer segment (11a) and the last retainer segment (11d) after the plurality of retainer segments (11a, 11d) have been arranged in the circumferential direction without providing any clearance. Here a circumferential range (R) of the clearance (39a) is larger than 0.075% of a circumference of a circle passing through a center of the retainer segment (11a, 11d) and smaller than 0.12% thereof at room temperature.
Abstract:
A bearing assembly (20) for use in a medical, surgical, or dental handpiece (10) that enables spindle rotation for a supported rotary tool (36) at high speeds. The bearing assembly (28) incorporates annular gap shields (50, 54) at each axial end to prevent contaminate ingress and to retain lubricating grease within the bearing assembly (28) to avoid re-lubricated after each use or sterilization cycle.
