Abstract:
A free piston type auto-tensioner adjusts a tension of an engine timing belt for automobiles. The auto-tensioner includes a body, a plunger slidably disposed in the body to form a first oil chamber, a free piston slidably disposed in the body to form a second oil chamber, a first seal member disposed between the body and the piston, a second seal member disposed between the piston and a rod of the plunger, an oil passage formed in the plunger to establish an oil communication between the first and second oil chambers, a check valve disposed in the oil passage, a first spring biasing the plunger, and a second spring biasing the piston.
Abstract:
A self-container hydraulic valve lifter includes a lifter body slidably mounted in a lifter case, a free piston slidably mounted between the lifter body and the lifter case, a plunger slidably mounted in the lifter body and dividing an interior portion of the lifter body into a reservoir chamber and a pressure chamber, a check valve for allowing fluid flow from the reservoir chamber to the pressure chamber, and an operating chamber formed between the free piston and the lifter case and communicated with the reservoir chamber in order to decrease the diameter of the pressure chamber in comparison with that of the free piston.
Abstract:
For adjusting an angular phase difference between an engine crank shaft and an engine cam shaft, fluid under pressure is supplied into one or more chambers defined therebetween. The adjusted condition is maintained or held by mechanical engagement between both shafts.
Abstract:
A tensioner for vehicle belts produces reduced rattling because radial forces are not transferred to the plunger. A tensioner body has a columnar hole extending from an open end toward a closed end. The plunger is fitted into the columnar hole and separates the columnar hole into first and second chambers. The plunger has sufficient clearance with respect to the body to permit restricted passage of fluid between the chambers. A rod pressed by the belt extends into the columnar hole and presses the plunger against the biasing force of a spring. In order to reduce the transfer of radial forces from the rod to the plunger, either the lower surface of the rod or the upper surface of the plunger is formed in a semi-spherical shape.
Abstract:
For preventing very small amplitude vibrations of the rod in a tensioner during high speed movement of a belt to be tensioned by the tensioner, a tube which is connected to a plunger which moves together with the rod is overlapped with a stationary member so as to define an annular clearance therebetween in an operating chamber of the tensioner. By filling an operating fluid in the clearance, shear strain is generated upon high speed movement of the plunger, which resists movement of the plunger.
