    摘要: In the present invention, in a housing that supports a rotating shaft via a rolling bearing which is subjected to predetermined position precompression, a wedge member, the radial thickness of which increases from the leading end towards the base end thereof, is inserted between the housing and the outer circumferential surface of the outer race of the rolling bearing and between the rotating shaft and the inner circumferential surface of an inner race of the rolling bearing, the wedge member being inserted from the leading end thereof along the radial direction of the rotating shaft. The wedge member is fixed by being fastened, ahead in the insertion direction, by bolts and nuts, so that precompression force along with predetermined position precompression is imparted to the rolling bearing.

    摘要: An abnormality diagnosis method of a rolling bearing used in rotating machinery includes: a time acquisition step of acquiring, from an output signal detected by a sensor during the rotation of the rolling bearing, an entry time when a rolling element enters a flaking region of a bearing ring, and an escape time when the rolling element escapes from the flaking region of the bearing ring; and an estimation step of estimating a flaking size based on a flaking passage time, which is a time difference between the entry time and the escape time. When the bearing ring receives repeated load from the rolling element, the progress of the flaking occurring in the bearing ring can be quantitatively evaluated.

    摘要: [Problem]
    An object of the present invention to provide an electric power steering apparatus that has improved reliability in a handle-returning function, by actively and smoothly returning a handle to a neutral point in a running state which is returned to a straight running state by calculating a target steering angle velocity after removing disturbance components included in a steering torque and an assist current, and correcting a current command value by using a handle-returning control current.
    [Means for Solving the Problem]
    The present invention is the electric power steering apparatus that drives a motor based on the current command value and assist-controls a steering system by a driving-control of the motor, comprising: a handle-returning control section to calculate the target steering angle velocity for handle-returning based on the steering torque, the current command value, a vehicle speed, a steering angle, calculate the handle-returning control current based on a deviation between the steering angle velocity and the target steering angle velocity, and interpose a filter, which attenuates frequency components which are equal to or higher than a steering input or which are equal to or higher than a vehicle motion characteristic, in a calculation path of the target steering angle velocity, wherein the motor is driven by the corrected current command value by using the handle-returning control current.

    摘要: When the compressed air is not applied, an inclined surface, which is positioned at an upstream side with respect to the supply direction of the compressed air, of the lip part is in contact with the inclined surface of the inner ring. When the compressed air is applied, a contact area between the inclined surface, which is positioned at the upstream side with respect to the supply direction of the compressed air, of the lip part and the inclined surface of the inner ring becomes smaller, as compared to when the compressed air is not applied.

    摘要: An outer wheel element (16a) formed in an annular shape with a synthetic resin and having a worm wheel tooth part (19a) on an outer circumferential surface thereof embeds a radially outer end part of an inner wheel element (15a) formed in an annular shape with a metal. An outer circumferential surface of the inner wheel element (15a), which is radially superimposed with an engaging part between the worm tooth part (19a) and a the worm wheel tooth part serves as a cylindrical surface part (24). This realizes a structure capable of suppressing manufacturing error of the worm wheel tooth part engaging with the worm tooth part.

    摘要: A vehicle weight measurement device includes a diaphragm which covers an opening area of a groove portion of a mounting part to form an oil chamber of a predetermined space together with the groove portion; a pressure sensor which detects a change in pressure of measurement fluid in the oil chamber; a first piston which presses the diaphragm; a second piston which presses the first piston; and a bearing unit interposed between the second piston and a spring bush which receives one end of a spring of a suspension device and is relatively rotatable. The bearing unit includes a thrust needle bearing which swingably supports a load in a longitudinal direction of the suspension device, and a slide bush which does not receive a load in the longitudinal direction and receives a load in a radial direction while causing constant damping to swinging.
