Abstract:
A wheel bearing assembly has a disk rotor for a brake integrally formed with a wheel-mounting flange of an inner member. Raceways opposite double-row raceways of the outer member are arranged on separate ring members pressed onto a tubular portion of the inner member. Thus, it is unnecessary to mount a brake rotor to the wheel bearing assembly, to reduce the number of parts, and to use different materials for the inner member and the inner ring members. For example, an FC-family cast iron, which is superior in seizure resistance, can be used for the inner member, and a tough bearing steel can be used for the ring member to achieve both excellent brake function and bearing function.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a compact constant velocity universal joint having high strength, and superior operability and durability. In the constant velocity universal joint of the present invention, an offset angle øT formed by a center of curvature OT0 of a guiding groove 2b of an outer component 2, an intersecting point Q between a joint plane P and a PCD, and a center of curvature OT1 of a guiding groove 3b of an inner component 3 is set to 11.0°≦øT≦15.0°.
Abstract:
A reliable brake rotor and wheel bearing assembly are proposed which make unnecessary adjustment of runout of brake rotor at the customer's factory. For runout of each of the mounting surface and back of the brake rotor itself, and runout of the side of the wheel mounting flange of the inner member to which is mounted the brake rotor, the maximum difference between the peaks of crests and troughs in each period of surface runout is restricted within a standard value, and the brake rotor is mounted to the wheel mounting flange, thereby eliminating the necessity of mounting of the brake rotor and adjustment of runout after mounting at the customer's factory to provide a reliable automotive wheel bearing assembly.
Abstract:
A data communication system includes a server, data link started side apparatus, data link starting side apparatus, and originating server. The server provides a service through a network. The data link started side apparatus performs line control between itself and the line connection destination, and performs LAN control between itself and the server through the network, thereby relaying packets between the line connection destination and the server. The data link starting side apparatus is connected to the data link started side apparatus, disconnects the line between itself and the data link started side apparatus on the basis of an MITF dial-up dormant protocol when there is no communication between itself and the server for a predetermined period of time, and shifts to a dormant state. The originating server originates data reception notification by using the originating telephone number transmitted from the data link started side apparatus when a packet communication state between the data link starting side apparatus and the data link started side apparatus is in the dormant state, and the data link started side apparatus receives data addressed to the data link starting side apparatus from the server. A data communication method and a server are also disclosed.

Abstract:
A constant velocity universal joint has an outer joint member having eight curved track grooves axially extending along an inner circumferential surface, an inner joint member having eight curved track grooves axially extending along an outer circumferential surface, eight balls respectively arranged in eight ball tracks provided as pairs of the track grooves of the outer and inner joint members. The center of each track groove of the outer joint member is axially displaced a predetermined distance from the spherical center of the inner circumferential surface. The center of each track groove of the inner joint member is axially displaced the same distance from the spherical center of the outer circumferential surface in the direction opposite to that of the outer joint member. A PCD gap in the ball track is in the range of 5 μm to 50 μm.
