Abstract:
An intersection between a first circular arc traced around a given measuring point on a toroidal surface on one side by the extreme end of a segment with a length equal to the curvature radius of traction surfaces of discs and a second circular arc traced around a given measuring point on a toroidal surface on the other side by the extreme end of the segment is obtained in a cross section along the central axis of the power roller. A plurality of intersections are obtained by repeating the process for obtaining the intersection for each of different measuring points on the toroidal surfaces. That specific one of the intersections which is situated nearest to the reference surface of the power roller is selected and it is concluded that the selected intersection is the tilting center of the discs.
Abstract:
A half toroidal CVT disk having an inner surface portion, an outer surface portion and a toroidal surface having a given machining allowance is centered with said inner surface portion worked prior to the heat treatment of said half toroidal CVT disk as the standard thereof, and then is chucked by a chuck mechanism. The toroidal surface of the chucked half toroidal CVT disk is ground by a grinding mechanism with the grinding wheel for grinding the half toroidal CVT disk in a state that one of said half toroidal CVT disk and said tool is inclined at a given angle with respect to the other.
Abstract:
A roller bearing includes an inner ring, an outer ring, a plurality of cylindrical rollers each provided between rolling contact surfaces of the inner ring and the outer ring. Each of the cylindrical rollers includes an end face having a peripheral part that is crowned. A flange portion is formed at an outer circumferential face end part of the inner ring and/or an inner circumferential face end part of the outer ring. The peripheral part is crowned in a curving shape represented by an exponential function of ynullanullexp(nullbnullx); where a and b are constants, x is a distance from the rolling contact surface in a radial direction of the cylindrical roller, and y is a crowning fall-off amount from a central part of the end face of the cylindrical roller in an axial direction of the cylindrical roller.
Abstract:
A loading cam mechanism of a toroidal type continuously variable transmission is provided with a cam disc that rotates together with an input shaft. A cam surface is formed on the cam disc. The cam disc includes a disc portion having the cam surface formed thereon and a cylindrical portion protruding from the central portion of the cam surface. The cam disc further includes a lathe-turned portion formed by lathe turning, a milled surface formed by means of an end mill, and a ground surface formed by means of a grindstone. Formed on a corner portion between the cylindrical portion and the disc portion are a first corner curved surface worked by means of an arcuate portion on the distal end portion of the end mill and a second corner curved surface worked by means of an arcuate portion on the distal end portion of the grindstone.

A centerless grinding apparatus (10) includes an outer diameter surface grinding wheel (11) for grinding the outer diameter surface of a work (1) of a substantially cylindrical shape, a regulating wheel (12) for supporting the outer diameter surface of the work (1) in conjunction with the outer diameter surface grinding wheel (11) and an end surface grinding wheel (21) for grinding the end surface of the work (1). The end surface grinding wheel (21) grinds the end surface of the work (1) while the outer diameter surface grinding wheel (11) grinds the outer diameter surface of the work (1) in a state that the work (1) is disposed between the outer diameter surface grinding wheel (11) and the regulating wheel (12).
Abstract:
While rotating a spindle 34, the circular hole 15 is worked using a cutting tool 39. Before or after the working operation of the circular hole 15, a chuck 36 is translated in a direction perpendicular to the rotation center axis of the spindle 34 by a slider 35. And, the flat surface 29 as well as the stepped surfaces 31, 31 and inner surfaces 38, 38, which are respectively composed of partially tubular surfaces, are cut or worked.
Abstract:
Driving rollers 2, 3 which rotate in the same direction are arranged in parallel to each other. A plurality of convex portions 5a, 5b, 5c having different radii of curvature Rr1, Rr2 and Rr3 are formed along the axial direction at opposing positions on the driving rollers 2, 3. A rolling element 4 which is fed into the gap between the driving rollers 2, 3 and rotated is moved along tracks having different radii of curvature Rw1, Rw2 and Rw3 in the axial direction. There is provided a superfinishing grindstone 6 which is pressed on the rolling surface of the rolling element 4 moving on tracks having different radii of curvature to superfinish the rolling surface of the rolling element 4.
