Abstract:
A dust core includes soft magnetic particles, a first coating layer, a second coating layer, and a third coating layer. The first coating layer is made of aluminum oxide with which at least a part of surfaces of the soft magnetic particles are coated. The second coating layer is made of aluminum nitride with which at least a part of a surface of the first coating layer is coated.

An automatic transmission includes a main transmission and an auxiliary transmission. The auxiliary transmission includes an auxiliary-transmission-side planetary gear mechanism, a first clutch, and a second clutch. The auxiliary-transmission-side planetary gear mechanism is provided between a pair of main-transmission-side planetary gear mechanisms, and a part of the auxiliary-transmission-side planetary gear mechanism is located within the main transmission. The first clutch fixes rotation of a sun gear of the auxiliary-transmission-side planetary gear mechanism. The second clutch connects a ring gear of the auxiliary-transmission-side planetary gear mechanism with the sun gear.
Abstract:
A gear assembly that can prevent a reduction in power transmission efficiency and a manufacturing method thereof are provided. The gear assembly comprises a first gear and a second gear. The gear assembly is designed in such a manner that first gear tooth and the second gear tooth are contacted properly to each other in a plane of action when operated in a predetermined condition. A rigidity reducing portion is formed on a first base portion to avoid improper contact in the plane of action when the gear assembly is operated in a different condition.
Abstract:
A powder magnetic core having excellent specific resistance or strength. The powder magnetic core has soft magnetic particles, first coating layers that coat the surfaces of the soft magnetic particles and include aluminum nitride, and second coating layers that coat at least a part of the surfaces of the first coating layers and include a low-melting-point glass having a softening point lower than an annealing temperature for the soft magnetic particles. The first coating layers including aluminum nitride are excellent in the wettability to the low-melting-point glass which constitutes the second coating layers and suppress diffusion of constitutional elements between the soft magnetic particles and the low-melting-point glass of the second coating layers. The powder magnetic core can stably exhibit a higher specific resistance and higher strength than the prior art owing to such a synergistic action of the first coating layers and second coating layers.
