  • Patent number: 11912083
    Abstract: A spring damper bearing includes a bearing cap, a guide ring and a thrust bearing. The bearing cap and the guide ring are connected together and surround the thrust bearing. The bearing cap includes an annular main body portion and a barrier part which is located on an inner circumferential side of the main body portion. The barrier part has an annular shape and includes an outer circumferential end connected to the main body portion and an inner circumferential end which extends out from the outer circumferential end and is away from the main body portion. The inner circumferential end is nearer than the outer circumferential end to the lower axial side and the inner radial side of the spring damper bearing.

  • Publication number: 20230279906
    Abstract: A three ball pin-type coupling, having a first connector and a second connector which are non-rotatably connected. The first connector includes a three shaft pin assembly, raceway assemblies and a cage assembly. The three shaft pin assembly includes a shaft and three ball rings which surround the shaft and are arranged at intervals in the circumferential direction of the shaft. There are three raceway assemblies. Each ball ring is connected to a raceway assembly. The cage assembly defines the position of the raceway assemblies in the circumferential direction. The raceway assemblies can provide elastic force between the ball ring and the cage assembly. When the ball ring displaces relative to the cage assembly in the circumferential direction, the two sides of the raceway assemblies in the circumferential direction remain abutted against the cage assembly. A steering mechanism is also provided.
