Abstract: A torque vector multiplier for gear reduction or gear multiplication of vehicle driveline, machinery or any rotating structure, such as an automobile or offroad vehicle. Said embodiments comprise an input structure such as an axle or driveline, an output structure such as wheel studs or a driven driveshaft, with a pinion gear and an annular or ring gear. In preferred embodiments replacement of a standardized component such as a unitary bearing hub or a carrier bearing results in gearing down or gearing up the final output speed and corresponding torque. In some applications the orientation can be swapped resulting in switching gear reduction with multiplication, and vice versa. A pinion gear with automatic lubrication channels. Apparatus and method claims are provided.

Abstract: Provided are a motor device and a method for manufacturing the same that can accurately and consistently provide a support shaft to a case and enhance the strength for fixing the support shaft to the case. A small-diameter part having a smaller diameter than a large-diameter part is formed through drawing. The large-diameter part and a step part are embedded in a gear case. The small-diameter part is exposed outside the gear case. The dimensional accuracy (dimensional tolerance ±α) of the external diameter of the small-diameter part is enhanced. The small-diameter part can be set, without rattling, in a lower mold for molding the gear case. Consequently, the support shaft can be accurately and consistently provided to the gear case. Because the large-diameter part and the step part are embedded in the gear case, the resistance of the support shaft against pulling from the gear case can be enhanced.

Abstract: Rack bar 10 for transmitting a steering operation to steered wheels while converting a rotational movement of a pinion shaft rotatably connected to a steering wheel into an axial movement, the rack bar being formed by conducting a die forging process on a material having an approximately circular cross section. A pair of face width-enlarged portions 15 is provided at both ends that rack teeth 14 have in face width direction. With this, it becomes possible to ensure face width dimension W of rack teeth 14 larger than outer shape S of a circular cross section of rack main body 13 (material), which results in an improvement of a contact gear ratio between the pinion teeth and the rack teeth.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a line gear mechanism for rotation-movement conversion, comprising a driving line gear (1) and a driven line gear (2). A stagger angle between an axis of the driving line gear and an axis of the driven line gear is any value from 0° to 180°. By a point contact meshing between a driving contact curve of a driving line tooth on the driving line gear (1) and a driven contact curve of a driven line tooth on the driven line gear (2), and by utilizing rotation of the driving line gear (1), it achieves that the driven line gear (2) rotates while moving smoothly. The line gear mechanism for rotation-movement conversion is simple in structure, easy to design, can achieve small displacement of movement, and is especially suitable for the conversion of small machinery from rotation to linear motion.

Abstract: A steering system includes a rack shaft, a tubular rack housing, and a tubular rack bushing. The rack bushing is interposed between the outer surface of the rack shaft and the inner surface of the rack housing. The rack bushing supports the rack shaft such that the rack shaft is slidable in the axial direction. The rack housing includes an annular groove on its inner surface. The rack bushing includes a collar. a through slit. and first non-through slits. The collar protrudes radially outward from substantially the entire circumference of the rack bushing. The collar is fitted into the annular groove. The through slit passes through the rack bushing in the axial direction. Each first non-through slit extends in the axial direction such that the first non-through slit passes through a portion of the rack bushing whose axial position corresponds to the axial position of the collar.
