    摘要: A hydraulic pump having a rotary shaft rotatably supported with respect to a casing, the hydraulic pump including: a bearing part provided to one end side and the other end side of the rotary shaft; and a first annular member provided around the rotary shaft on at least one side of the one end side and the other end side of the rotary shaft. The bearing part on the one side has a support part which rotatably supports the rotary shaft, and a preload applying member which applies a preload in the axial direction to the support part. The first annular member is interposed between the bearing part of the one side and a receiving part of the rotary shaft in the axial direction, and an inner diameter of the first annular member is larger than a diameter of the rotary shaft.

    摘要: A telescopic steering column assembly includes at least one support bearing assembly that comprises an inner bearing race which is located on the steering shaft, an outer bearing race that is located on an inner face of a shroud, and a set of ball bearings that are located between the inner bearing race and the outer bearing race and are free to roll along bearing surfaces defined by the bearing races. Each of the bearing races comprises a pair of annular bearing race parts, defining a circumferentially extending bearing surface arranged coaxially and spaced apart from each other axially such that varying the spacing between the two parts varies the effective radius of the bearing race. The support bearing assembly further comprising an inner annular support sleeve that is located between the inner bearing race and the inner shaft, an outer annular support sleeve that is located between the outer bearing race and the shroud, and a biasing means that in use applies an axially directed thrust between a first one of the annular support sleeves and one of the respective bearing race parts, and the bearing assembly is arranged such that the axial thrust applied by the biasing means is converted into a radial thrust that is applied to the inner bearing race and outer bearing race to force them into engagement with the inner and outer sleeves respectively.

    摘要: A butterfly valve for controlling gas flow is disclosed. The butterfly valve may include a valve body, the valve body defining a bore and a shaft configured for rotatable motion with respect to the valve body and including a shoulder. The butterfly valve may further include a disk housed within the bore, operatively coupled with the shaft, and configured to control gas flow through the bore based on a rotational position of the shaft relative to the valve body. The butterfly valve may further include a ball bearing operatively coupled with the shaft and including a ball and a race. The butterfly may further includes a spring configured to provide an axial force on the shaft, the axial force configured to press the shoulder of the shaft against the race of the ball bearing to prevent an outer edge of the disk from contacting an inner wall of the bore.

    摘要: A fan includes a shaft, a first rolling bearing provided on one end side of the shaft in an axial direction of the shaft and having a first inner ring on an outer circumference side of the shaft and a first outer ring on an outer side in a radial direction of the first inner ring, a second rolling bearing provided on another end side of the shaft and having a second inner ring on the outer circumference side of the shaft and a second outer ring on the outer side in a radial direction of the second inner ring, a bearing housing accommodating the first and second rolling bearings, an elastic member between the first and second rolling bearings. At least one of the first and second rolling bearings is a loose-fit bearing. A resistance-applying part is interposed between the loose-fit bearing and the elastic member.
