    摘要: A ceramic-metal composite structure which minimizes tensile ceramic loads and accommodates differences in thermal expansion characteristics between a metal member and a ceramic member without reliance on precise feature control for either member. The composite includes a mechanical retainer which allows a loose fitting relationship between the metal and ceramic members. The ceramic member is secured within a receiving bore in the metal member by the retainer in a manner which eliminates the need for precise machining of the ceramic and metal members. The metal member may be configured to accept either an internal or an external mechanical retainer element. The composite ceramic-metal structure of the present invention finds particular utility in forming a durable wear-resistant interface in internal combustion engine actuator or actuating components, such as compression brake master pistons.

    摘要: In accordance with preferred embodiments of the invention, a disc-shaped contact pad of ceramic material is disposed within a recess formed in the top surface of a metal valve crosshead. The pad is held in the recess by a retainer that clips onto the crosshead. The retainer is designed to maintain only a light pressure on only a narrow shoulder of the pad to keep it seated, and does not, itself, experience any dynamic loading. Furthermore, by the provision of a circumferential clearance between the pad and both the wall of the crosshead recess and the retainer, the need for precision machining of the ceramic material can be avoided. Additionally, a reduction of frictional sliding forces imposed on the crosshead, and in turn upon the valves, by the rocker lever is achieved by the ceramic pad, so that resultant frictional side loading is not imposed on adjacent valve components to a significant extent.

    摘要: A sliding friction- and wear-resistant elephant's foot or swivel pad adjusting screw assembly for contacting an actuating member interface in an internal combustion engine is provided to transmit arcuate motion into reciprocal motion. The assembly includes a metal screw element configured to move along an arcuate path in a correspondingly configured socket in a ceramic pad element. A retainer element secures the pad element to the screw element loosely to allow this relative motion. The ceramic pad element includes a planar contact face for contacting a corresponding planar contact surface on an internal combustion engine actuating member, such as a valve, a valve crosshead or a unit fuel injector.

    摘要: A ball link assembly in which a link member has a semi-spherical cavity formed in each end for rotatably receiving a respective complementary spherical bearing ball formed, preferably, of a ceramic material. Each ball is freely retained by a ball retainer formed of spring steel, the ball retainer extending just over the equator of the ball and mounting to the link by a sideways snap-on action. In one form, the link is designed to accommodate an existing link retainer which is fixed internally of the injector assembly, while in a second form the link assembly is retained by a link retainer which is externally tethered.

    摘要: A process, system, and component configuration are described that discourages customer acceptance/use of will-fit, reconditioned, and counterfeit product components, by determining whether or not a serviceable product component is genuine. If a component is determined to not be genuine, then appropriate action may be taken to warn operators and document such findings. For example, one or more markers are disposed or otherwise put on the subject serviceable product component and serves as a targeted feature, and/or a particular characteristic of the filter itself is identified as the targeted feature. A sensor is used to detect the targeted feature and obtain information unique to the serviceable product component. The targeted feature(s) identifies the particular serviceable component as genuine and forms the basis for determining whether a genuine component has been installed. In some circumstances, a fluid filter product is the component that is the subject detection.
