In a ratchet type chain tensioner, having a toothed rack on its plunger and a pawl cooperable with the rack, a recess is provided between the front end of the rack and the protruding end of the plunger. In the initial stages of operation of the tensioner, the pawl can enter the recess while permitting the plunger to protrude and retract freely within a limited range. Thereafter, when the chain controlled by the tensioner becomes elongated, the pawl cooperates with the rack to limit retraction of the plunger.

A chain tensioner has a plunger (14) slidably fitted in a bottomed cylinder (12) formed in a housing (11), and configured to resiliently urge the plunger (14) by a return spring (13) in the direction along which the plunger (14) is projected out from the cylinder (12), wherein the chain tensioner is configured to attach an engagement clip (19) to the opening of the cylinder (12), and to provide an engagement portion engageable with the engagement clip (19) to the end of the plunger (14) on the projection side thereof, so as to allow the engagement clip (19) and the engagement portion to engage with and disengage from each other corresponding to the position of rotation of the plunger (14).

In a hydraulic tensioner having a relief valve inside its plunger, a relief valve spring-receiving plug, press-fit into the plunger is formed by forging a plurality of flat surfaces on its exterior. These flat surfaces, in cooperation with the cylindrical inner wall of the plunger, form plural oil passages, each having a segment-shaped cross-section. The oil passages allow flow of oil past the plug to a discharge opening at the front end of the plunger, and the flow of oil is substantially unaffected by circumferential displacement of the oil passages on the periphery of the plug relative to the oil passages on the periphery of the relief valve seat.

In a disk drive device, a hub has an outer circumferential wall portion configured to hold a recording disk. A base member has a cylindrical portion, whose central axis is the rotation axis of the hub, on a surface on the side of the hub. A fluid dynamic bearing holds a lubricant and rotatably supports the hub relative to the base member. A ring-shaped attraction plate including a magnetic material is fixed to the base member and faces a magnet in the axial direction. The outer circumferential wall portion is configured such that the outer circumferential wall portion surrounds the attraction plate and that the range of the outer circumferential wall portion in the axial direction overlaps with the range of the attraction plate in the axial direction.

A plunger stop for temporarily holding the plunger of a ratchet type chain tensioner in place during installation of the tensioner, or during mounting or removal of the chain, comprises a bifurcated part inserted into a groove in which a pivoted ratchet pawl is situated. The bifurcated part is sandwiched between the pivoted ratchet pawl and a part of the tensioner housing, with the bifurcated part straddling a ratchet pawl-biasing spring in the groove. A grip, which is integral with the bifurcated part protrudes outside the tensioner housing so that it can be grasped manually for removal.

In a ratchet-type hydraulic tensioner for use with a timing chain of an internal combustion engine, two or more oil reservoirs gradually receive oil fed under pressure from an external source, and supply the oil through a hydraulic valve mechanism to a high pressure oil chamber formed by a plunger and a housing in which the plunger is slidable. Throttle holes, formed in partition walls separating the reservoirs, control the flow of oil from one reservoir to another. An excess oil discharge hole is optionally provided in one of the reservoirs. The invention prevents abnormal protrusion of the plunger, reduces chain noise and component damage due to wear, and rapidly re-establishes proper tension on engine start-up.

In a hydraulic tensioner having a relief valve mechanism in which a spring-biased valve element is reciprocable in a bore, hitting sounds produced by collision of the relief valve element with a plug in the bore, and wear and breakage of the biasing spring, are prevented by providing an oil relief hole in a peripheral wall of the relief valve bore at a position where it is closed by the relief valve element when he relief valve element is moved by a rapid increase in oil pressure.

In a rotating device, a housing includes a cylindrical outer surface facing an inner surface of a through hole and a guiding surface arranged on the underside of the outer surface, the diameter of the guiding surface being less than the diameter of the outer surface. Glue has an interface in an end space. In at least a part of the end space where the glue does not exist, conductive resin seamlessly is applied from the guiding surface to the inner surface of the through hole. With regard to a portion of the inner surface of the through hole that radially faces the guiding surface, the length, in the axial direction, of the portion that touches the conductive resin is greater than the length, in the axial direction, of the portion that touches the glue.
