Abstract: A lathe has a bed, a rack and a mechanized tailstock assembly. The bed has a track having a chamber and a slot. The rack is connected securely to the bed. The mechanized tailstock assembly is movably mounted to the bed and has an outer guide, two moving guiding brackets and a drive device. The outer guide is movably mounted on the bed aligning with the slot. The guiding brackets are respectively connected to the outer guide, extend into the chamber of the track and each guiding bracket has a guide wheel. The drive device is connected securely to the outer guide, engages with the rack and has a casing, a drive axle and a drive wheel. The mechanized tailstock can be moved simply and easily and accurately using the drive device and the guide brackets prevent it from falling away from the surface.

Abstract: A piston includes a cylindrical body having a neck formed on an outer periphery of the cylindrical body so as to form a first annular disk and a second annular connecting to the first annular disk via the neck, multiple through holes defined through the second annular disk to communicate with a first space among the second annular disk, the neck and the first annular disk, an annular recess defined in an outer periphery of the second annular disk and multiple slits defined through a bottom face defining the annular recess to communicate with a second space below the first annular disk after passing through the neck.

Abstract: A prestressing device for a mechanical component of a mechanical finishing device has at least one rigid prestressing unit mounted in the mechanical component. This can provide a prestressing tension to the mechanical component. The bending and the deformation of the mechanical component can be prevented. The useful life of the mechanical finishing device is prolonged.

Abstract: A CNC (computer numeral controlled) composite tool holder has a body, an outer cover, a spindle, a cutter headstock, a control rod, a cutter bracket, a control cylinder and parts used to fit the cutter bracket onto the cutter headstock. The outer cover covers the body that holds the driving parts. The spindle is mounted in the body. The cutter headstock has a central hole to allow the spindle to pass through the cutter headstock. The control rod is slidably positioned in the spindle. The cutter bracket is mounted on the cutter headstock and has two lathe tools. The control cylinder is mounted in the outer cover and connected to the spindle. With the two lathe tools, an article can be cut on two faces at the same time.

Abstract: A passive vibration isolating system includes a sliding piece having its lower portion mounted on a base member and a first contact surface defined between the lower portion of the sliding piece and the top portion of the base member, and a supporting member mounted on the upper portion of the sliding piece and a second contact surface defined between the bottom portion of the supporting member and the upper portion of the sliding piece. At least one of the first and second contact surfaces is a curved surface with a concave-convex engagement.

Abstract: A shaking table assembly includes a plurality of first linear guides arranged in parallel with each other. A supporting table is slidably mounted on the first linear guides along a longitudinal direction thereof. A plurality of second linear guides are fixedly mounted on a top surface of the supporting table and are arranged in parallel with each other and perpendicular to the plurality of first linear guides. A testing table is slidably mounted on the second linear guides along a longitudinal direction thereof.

Abstract: A vibration suppression device includes a plurality of first elongated linear guides on which a first support table is slidably mounted. A first adjustable damping system is provided for damping slidable movement of the first support table on the plurality of first elongated linear guides. A plurality of second elongated linear guides are fixedly mounted on a top face of the first table and arranged perpendicular to the plurality of first elongated linear guides. A second support table is slidably mounted on the plurality of second elongated linear guides. A second adjustable damping system is provided for damping slidable movement of the second support table on the plurality of second elongated linear guides.
