    摘要: A tool turret includes a turret body having at least one connecting slot for replaceably mounting a tool holder to the turret and a transmission shaft arranged at the connecting slot. The transmission shaft is configured to transmit a drive torque to the mounted tool holder, and includes a torque receiving-side section for receiving driving torque and a connecting-side section for connecting to the mounted tool holder. The connecting-side section has a first gearing for transmitting the drive torque to a corresponding tool holder gearing, wherein at the torque receiving-side section a contacting part is provided for receiving the torque of the drive unit. A mating surface is provided at the connecting-side section of the transmission shaft and is arranged to contact a surface of the mounted tool holder for interacting with the tool holder to remove a gap between the first gearing and the corresponding mounted tool holder gearing.

    摘要: A split shaft includes a proximal shaft section having a first proximal shaft end and a second proximal shaft end. The first proximal shaft end is configured to couple to the first machine arrangement. The split shaft further includes a distal shaft section having a first distal shaft end and a second distal shaft end. The first distal shaft end is configured to couple to the second machine arrangement. The second distal shaft end is configured to engage with the second proximal shaft end to convey the drive power from the first machine arrangement to the second machine arrangement. The second proximal shaft end includes a first indicator, and the second distal shaft end includes a second indicator. Alignment of the first indicator and the second indicator conveys timing for the drive power.

    摘要: A spline adapter assembly for connecting a torque converter one-way clutch to a shaft for testing. The spline adapter assembly includes an inner race ring including a radially outer roller body contact surface and a radially inner interface surface, and an adapter having a radially outer interface surface that is complementary to and engaged with the radially inner interface surface of the inner race ring and a radially inner shaft interface surface. The inner race ring of the spline adapter assembly replaces the original inner one-way clutch race ring and can be machined for each assembly being tested in order to provide the proper radially outer roller body contact surface configuration, and is connected to a universal adapter that mates with the test equipment.

    摘要: A connecting device for the connection of mechanical shaft parts with a first connector section for connection to a first shaft part, a second connector section for connection to a second shaft part, and a locking mechanism. The first connector section can be connected to a mating section of the first shaft part for the transmission of torque. The locking mechanism, which is functionally independent of the transmission of torque and includes at least one displaceable element, prevents the release of the first connector section from the mating section of the first shaft part. The displaceable element of the locking mechanism can be moved between a release position, in which the first connector section can be released from the mating section, and a blocking position, which prevents release of the mating section from the first connector section. In some aspects, the locking mechanism may include an annular actuating element.

    摘要: A spline coupling comprises a male spline member having male spline teeth and a female spline member having female spline teeth complementary to and engaged with the male spline teeth. One or more of the female spline teeth has a tooth height lesser than a tooth height of another one or more of the female spline teeth. The tooth height of the one or more of the female spline teeth is defined by a top land surface of the one or more of the female spline teeth. The tooth height of the other one or more of the female spline teeth is defined by a top land surface of the other one or more of the female spline teeth. A drainage hole in the top land surface of the one or more of the female spline teeth passes through the one or more of the female spline teeth.

    摘要: A track deviation sensing mechanism for a steering column includes a sleeve having an inner wall and an outer wall defining an annular opening. The inner wall defines a plurality of internal splines and the sleeve receives the steering column. A sensor has a first axial opening, and a ring is disposed within the first axial opening. The ring defines a second axial opening for accommodating the sleeve. A first part is functionally disposed between the sleeve and the ring such that the first part is lockingly connected to the sleeve and the ring. The first part has a third axial opening. A second part has a fourth axial opening and locks the sensor and the first part at a prerequisite configuration. The first axial opening, the second axial opening, the third axial opening, the fourth axial opening and the annular opening are coaxial.
