Abstract:
A bearing journal for bicycles includes a lower race having two stops extending from an outer periphery of the lower race and an upper race having a skirt extending from an outer periphery thereof. A bearing is received between the lower race and the upper race. A protrusion extends inward from an inner periphery of the skirt which encloses the two stops. The steering tube of the front fork extends through the bearing journal and is connected to a handlebar stem. When the handlebar is rotated 180 degrees, the upper race co-rotated with the handlebar is stopped by the contact between the protrusion and one of the stops.
Abstract:
A wheel bearing assembly is provided which can prevent lowering of the bearing life due to entry of muddy water into the bearing through the gap between fitting surfaces of a first inner member and a second inner member. These members are rotatably supported by mounting rolling elements between double-row raceways formed on the inner peripheral surface of the outer member and raceways formed on the outer peripheral surfaces of the first and second inner members. A stem formed on the second inner member is inserted into a hole formed in the first inner member and the tip of the stem is caulked to hold the first and second inner members in a coupled state. An annular groove is formed in the outer periphery of the stem. A seal ring is mounted in the annular groove.
Abstract:
The invention concerns a connecting structure (10) between a driving transmission (11) and a roll (100) driven through it. The driving transmission (11) includes an input shaft (12) in the drive, whereby through the input shaft (12) the drive is transferred to toothed gears and further to the roll jacket (100a) of the driven roll (100) to rotate it. The roll (100) includes a central static shaft (100b) and a bearing (G) to support it. In order to allow axial and radial motions of the roll's (100) roll jacket when the driving transmission (11) is in the fixed position, a seal (25) including a sliding ring (30) is fitted in between the driving transmission (11) and the roll (100).
Abstract:
A hub (2) includes a spindle (14) which projects through a housing (4) and rotates relative to the housing (4) on a bearing (6) that is located between the spindle (14) and the housing (4). The bearing (6) has two sets of raceways (28, 40) that are oblique to the axis x, and in addition rolling elements (36) arranged in two rows between the sets of raceways (28, 40). The inner raceways (28) that fit around the spindle (14) and have back faces (32), with the back face (32) for one of the races (26) being against a shoulder (18) from which the spindle (14) projects. Initially, the end of the spindle (14) projects straight beyond the back face (32) of the outer racenullindeed, so that the races (26) can be installed over the spindle (14). But once the housing (4) and races (26) are in a position around the spindle (14), the projecting end portion of the spindle (14) is deformed radially and axially in a rotary forming operation such that it transforms into a formed end (20) that lies behind back face (32) of the race (26). With the two races (26) between the formed end (20) and the shoulder (18). During the rotary forming operation the hub (26) rotates, and the end of its spindle (14) is forced against a rotating forming tool and the force is monitored. The housing (4) is restrained and the torque transferred from the rotating hub (2) to the housing (4) is monitored.

Abstract:
Roller designated for the transfer of a metal strip within a continuous annealing furnace, consisting of a driving shaft encased in a collar which bears the strip, characterized in that at least the collar is manufactured of a composite material such as carbon-carbon fiber (CCF) or silicon carbide-silicon carbide (SiCnullSiC).
Abstract:
The present invention has an object to provide a manufacturing method of a long large-diameter composite cemented carbide roll and a hot rolling method of steel using the same. The roll manufacturing method covers a composite cemented carbide roll formed by engaging with, and fixing to, a steel arbor, a sleeve comprising an outer layer made of a cemented carbide formed by integrating a plurality of previously sintered cylindrical formed members and an inner layer made of a steel material formed on the inner surface of the outer layer. The sleeve has a sectional area ratio So/Si of the sectional area So of the outer layer and the sectional area Si of the inner layer in a cross-section perpendicular to the rotation axis within a range of from 0.3 to 20. The sleeve has a length within a range of from 520 to 6,000 mm. When hot-rolling steel, the cemented carbide rolls of the invention are used as work rolls of at least one stand for a roughing mill and/or a finishing mill.
Abstract:
A pressure roller for a fixing device is manufactured by extruding silicone rubber on a shaft, foaming the extruded silicone rubber, subjecting the foamed silicone rubber to primary and secondary heat treatments, polishing the heat-treated silicone rubber, and then disposing the polished silicone rubber in a resin tube. In accordance with one embodiment, the pressure roller includes a shaft, a first silicone rubber layer formed on the shaft so as to surround the shaft, a resin tube formed on the first silicone rubber layer so as to surround the shaft, the resin tube having extensions at opposite ends thereof, each extension extending beyond the opposite ends of the first silicone rubber layer, and second silicone rubber layers formed at respective opposite ends of the first silicone rubber layer between the extensions of the resin tube and the shaft. The second silicone rubber layers serve to couple the first silicone rubber layer to the resin tube. In accordance with another embodiment, the pressure roller includes a shaft, a silicone rubber layer extruded on the shaft using an extruder so as to surround the shaft, and foamed so as to have a number of pores, and a resin tube bonded to the silicone rubber layer while surrounding the silicone rubber layer by use of adhesive.
