  • Publication number: 20230109098
    Abstract: A steering control device has an electromagnetic clutch built into an electric motor. The electromagnetic clutch is provided with: an armature connected to a first closing member via a guide member, a coil holding part, and a bolt; a clutch plate connected to a rotor via a clutch plate attachment member, a key, and a motor shaft; and an excitation coil held by the coil holding part. The armature is fastened with the clutch plate when not attracted to the excitation coil during a power supply failure of the electric motor, and regulates relative rotation of the rotor with respect to a motor housing. Steering of a rack bar is thereby restricted at an optional steering position via the motor shaft, a worm shaft, and a steering shaft.

  • Patent number: 11554806
    Abstract: A steering device of the present invention has a steered shaft rotation stopper (100) having a contact member (101) and a forcing member (102). The forcing member (102) forces at least either one of a steered shaft (6) or the contact member (101) in a direction in which the steered shaft (6) and the contact member (101) push against each other. In a state in which the contact member (101) contacts a contact portion (6D) of the steered shaft (6), the contact member (101) stops a rotation of the steered shaft (6).

  • Publication number: 20160352069
    Abstract: A semiconductor device header is provided with a base including a main body and a heat sink. A lead is inserted through a through hole extending through the main body. The is defined by a first opening and a second opening that opens in the upper surface of the main body. The second opening is in communication with the first opening and is smaller than the first opening in a plan view. The first opening is filled with an encapsulant that seals the lead. The second opening is filled with a covering material having a smaller relative permittivity than the encapsulant. The heat sink is located at a position partially overlapped with the first opening in a plan view and separated from the second opening in a plan view.

  • Patent number: 8801113
    Abstract: A brake apparatus including a housing, a piston body disposed within each of a pair of closed-ended bores formed in the housing, a first elastic member that biases the piston body toward a closed end of the respective bores, a fluid passage opened to the closed end of the respective bores, a pressure regulating valve disposed in the fluid passage, and a rotary gear pump disposed in a region between the pressure regulating valve disposed in the fluid passage opened to the closed end of one of the bores and the pressure regulating valve disposed in the fluid passage opened to the closed end of the other of the bores. The fluid passages are formed to be offset from respective central axes of the piston bodies in such a direction that the fluid passages are spaced apart from each other.
