摘要:
This invention relates to a rotating and sealed bearing assembly of a first member (12) rotating in a second member (10), comprising a bearing outer track structure (28) mounted in a bore (11) of the second member traversed by the first member (12) and bearing a lip seal (40), the bearing inner track (24) being formed on the first member (12), the bearing outer track structure being made of a sheet steel backing plate (28) shaped in order to a present an intermediate zone of rounded profile (26) forming the bearing outer track.According to the invention, the intermediate zone (26) is extended on one side by a first end zone (30) extending axially and on the other side by a second end zone (36) extending axially, the second end zone (36) being connected to the intermediate zone (26) by a median zone (34) extending radially.
摘要:
The two stator members of the distributor (5, 6), between which the rotor of the distributor (10) is placed, are assembled under an axial prestress by an assembly tie rod (12) comprising, at one end, an annular shoulder (17) cooperating in bearing against a bearing surface of the adjacent stator member (5) and, at its other end a profiled annular groove (18) in which a metal ring (23) is fitted by force, under axial stress with radial deformation, so as to exert an axial stress on a radial bearing surface of the adjacent stator member (6). Application to the construction of rotary hydraulic distributors, especially for power-assisted vehicle steering systems.

A wear indicator for a disk brake having a caliper that slides in a carrier to apply friction pads against a disk. The wear indicator comprises a continuous variation sensor, such as a capacitive sensor, connected to a monitor. The capactive sensor has first and second electrodes having a variable overlap area. A guide pin for the caliper forms the first electrode. As the guide pin moves during a brake application, the monitor periodically measures the overlap area to define a current operational output signal which is compared with a predetermined signal and when the comparison differs from a normal result a failure signal is provided to indicate that the disk brake in not properly operating.

A fluid pressure regulating valve has an inlet (10) connected to a pressurized fluid source (12) and an application outlet (14). It comprises a reference piston (30) one face of which is biased by a reference force, and a regulating piston (42) upon one face of which is applied the fluid pressure at the application outlet (14). The regulating piston (42) acts as a slide valve between the inlet (10), the application outlet (14), and a low pressure fluid reservoir (18). The other faces of the pistons (30, 42) each bias a respective end of a lever (60) the fulcrum (62) of which is movable between its ends according to the biasing force generated by each of the pistons (30, 42). Such a valve is useful for power steering for vehicles.

The assembly comprises a rack (2) and a pinion (1) each having an axis of symmetry (7, 8) perpendicular to each other in their transversal section. The rack (2) is located in a chamber (6) provided within a rigid body (5), this chamber (6) having a partly cylindrical inner wall (9), the axis of symmetry of the chamber (6) being merged into the rack axis (8). The track (2) includes a front face engaged with the pinion (1) and a rear face opposite the front face, this rear face comprising two lateral tapered sides (15) converging toward the rack axis (8) and an extending rib (13) having flat lateral sides (17) parallel to the rack axis. Within the rigid body (5), is provided a pair of members (31, 32) disposed symmetrically with respect to the rack axis (8), each member (31, 32) being rotatively slideable along the cylindrical inner wall (9), each of the members engaging one of the lateral tapered sides (15) at about one point and one of the lateral flat sides (17) at about one point, and further including a spring (4) located between ends of the members (31, 32) and urging the ends in opposite directions in such a way that the members (31, 32) bear on the rib (13) to generate an anti-ungearing force applied to the lateral tapered sides (15) of the rack (2).

The assembly for supporting in terms of rotation and for sealing a first element (2; 5) rotating in a second element (7) comprises an outer raceway structure consisting of two sheet-metal half-raceways (11; 12) having two coupled outer collar portions (13; 14) serving for mounting the outer raceway structure in an orifice in the second element, and a first (13) of the outer half-raceways carrying the lip seal (22) interacting with the first element (2; 5) forming the inner raceway (10) typically has an extension part (21) opposite the collar portion (13), the lip seal (22) advantageously having a peripheral part (23; 23') forming a static seal and interacting in engagement contact with a wall of the orifice in the second element.
摘要:
The hydraulic distributor, of the type comprising, in each of two parallel circuits (.alpha., .alpha.'), between a pressure source (S) and a tank (R), two modulable restrictions in series (A, B; A', B'), comprises in addition, in each circuit (.alpha., .alpha.'), a first (C; C') and a second (D; D') fixed restriction adapted to be put into operation alternately in synchronism with the modulable restrictions downstream of each of the latter, the fixed restriction put into operation being the one directly downstream of the modulable restriction operated in its closing direction.
摘要:
A modulator assembly is interposed in a fluid circuit between a source (S) and a user device (U), said assembly being composed of a metering electrovalve (E) forming a first restriction (.sigma.1) in the fluid circuit, a pressure regulation valve (R), loaded by a spring (22), being subjected to the pressure of fluid delivered by the metering electrovalve to the user device and forming a second variable restriction (.sigma.2) between the outlet of the electrovalve (E) and a tank (33). The pressure regulation valve (R) is integrated into the metering slide (14) of the electrovalve.
摘要:
A variable rate shock absorber having the interior of a working cylinder divided by a piston into an upper and lower working chamber. The lower working chamber is connected to a reservoir by a bi-directional valve member. A solenoid valve housed in a hollow piston rod has an actuated state connecting the upper working chamber to the reservoir. The output of the solenoid valve is connected to the reservoir by an axially disposed telescoping cylinder passing through the piston and the bi-directional valve member. Other embodiments are also disclosed.
