  • Patent number: 6883236
    Abstract: A double row tapered roller bearing with vertex of contact angles outside of the bearing is externally fitted to an outer periphery of a hub wheel to which a wheel is attached. A shaft end of the hub wheel is deformed outwardly in a radial direction so as to be caulked to an outer end surface of an inner ring of the bearing. A raceway track of at least one of the inner ring and the outer ring in the bearing is designed so as to satisfy a condition that a predetermined form is secured in a state that the raceway track is elastically deformed by the caulking. As a result, satisfactory rolling performance of the tapered roller after the caulking is secured, and a predetermined life of the bearing apparatus after the caulking can be obtained.

  • Publication number: 20040233072
    Abstract: An annular elastic magnetic body 3 as the magnetic member for a rotation detector contains hydrogenated nitrile rubber as base material and not more than 90 weight percent strontium-based ferrite as a magnetism imparting component. Therefore, the annular elastic magnetic body 3 has no cracks in a thermal shock test (with thermal shock between −40° C. and 150° C.) and resists harsh conditions on operating temperature. The magnetic member contains not less than 80 weight percent the strontium-based ferrite and therefore ensures a magnetic flux density required for a rotation detector. Thus, the magnetic member for a rotation detector is resistant to harsh conditions on operating temperature and has a stable magnetic property.

  • Patent number: 6750647
    Abstract: There is provided magnetizing apparatus and magnetizing method for a magnetized pulser ring, by which magnetic force to which a cylindrical elastic magnetic member is magnetized can be enhanced, and yet in which centering of a magnetizing yoke is easy to achieve. A magnetizing portion of the magnetizing yoke is a conical surface slightly tilted with respect to an axis thereof. The magnetizing yoke is inserted into a cylindrical steel plate of the magnetized pulser ring so that the magnetizing portion of the magnetizing yoke is brought into close contact with one axial end portion of the cylindrical elastic magnetic member.
