  • Publication number: 20160177725
    Abstract: A fixed coaxial shaft of a hydraulic unit is provided including a body having a first end and a second opposite end. A plurality of first splines is formed in an exterior surface of the body adjacent the first end and a plurality of second splines is formed in the exterior surface of the body adjacent the second end. The plurality of first splines and the plurality of second splines are substantially identical. The body of the shaft has an outer diameter of about 0.640±0.0005 inches (1.626±0.0013 centimeters), an inner diameter of about 0.517±0.010 inches (1.313±0.0254 centimeters), and an overall length of about 2.678±0.005 inches (6.802±0.0127 centimeters).

  • Publication number: 20160146243
    Abstract: A fixed shaft of a hydraulic unit is provided including a body having a first end and a second opposite end. A first flange and a substantially identical second flange are integrally formed with the body of the shaft adjacent the second end. The second end of the body has an outer diameter of 0.990±0.005 inches (2.515±0127 cm). The first and second flange each have an axial length parallel to a longitudinal axis of the body of about 0.085±0.010 inches (0.216±0.0254 cm). The first and second flange having an outer diameter of 1.359 inches (3.452 cm). The first flange and the second flange are separated by from one another by a distance of about 0.3162 inches (0.8031 cm). The portion of the body between the first flange and the second flange has an outer diameter of about 1.2013 inches (3.051 cm).

  • Patent number: 8902033
    Abstract: An inductor comprises a ferromagnetic core, a litz wire conductor encircling the ferromagnetic core, a housing, a bobbin, a conductive pin, and a seal assembly. The housing encloses the ferromagnetic core and the litz wire conductor. The conductive pin is conductively attached to the litz wire conductor, and extends therefrom to form an external electrical contact. The bobbin supports the litz wire conductor and positions the conductive pin in alignment with an aperture in the housing which is sealed against fluid egress by the seal assembly.
