  • Publication number: 20170356540
    Abstract: A high torque sprocket includes a body defining an outer periphery and a hub section defining an inner surface for engaging a bushing. A continuous toothed structure is disposed on the outer periphery of the body, and a textile reinforcement embedded in the body adjacent the inner surface of the hub section. The body is formed of a castable polymer material. In some cases, one or two optional flanges are disposed on side(s) of the body immediately adjacent the continuous toothed structure, in some aspects, a textile reinforcement may be embedded in a surface of the flange(s) immediately adjacent the continuous toothed structure. In some aspects, the high torque sprocket further includes a textile reinforcement embedded in the continuous toothed structure outer surface, and the textile reinforcement is selected from nylon, cotton, aramid, PTFE, and mixtures thereof.

  • Patent number: 6612554
    Abstract: Disclosed is a hydraulic antivibration mount. The mount has an annular rubber spring et in an outer metal casing, encasing an inner metal portion having a central mounting means. The outer metal casing is crimped over the flange of an end cap. Located with the end cap and retained within the crimped portion is a flexible diaphragm. Also retained within the crimped portion is a damper plate dividing the interior of the mount into an upper chamber A and a lower chamber B to be filled with fluid. The damper plate is formed from an upper plate and a lower plate. The upper and lower plates form a flow channel between the two plates which extends at least partially around the circumference of the damper plate, the flow channel permitting communication between the upper and lower chamber. The upper plate has an opening communicating to the upper chamber with an integral tab extending from the opening into the flow channel to block the channel.
