Publication number: 20210039771Abstract: The present invention suppresses an increase in pressure of internally contained lubricating oil and reduces leakage of the lubricating oil. This actuator is provided with: an accumulator which has a gas compartment at the top filled with gas, and in which a lubricating oil is contained under the gas compartment; a housing internally provided with the accumulator; a shaft of which one end side is contained in the housing and another end side is disposed outside the housing, and which is moveable in an axial direction; and an oil seal disposed between a first opening portion which is formed in the accumulator and through which the shaft penetrates, and the shaft. The housing has formed therein a pipe channel providing communication between a space on the side opposite to the inner side of the accumulator with respect to the oil seal and the gas compartment of the accumulator.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 22, 2019Publication date: February 11, 2021Inventors: Yuki MORISAKI, Naotaka KOMATSU, Yasuhiro SAIKI, Kenichi OYAMA

Patent number: 10914382Abstract: A shaft sealing structure for a rotation shaft, includes a sealing ring having ends formed by removal of its part. The ends abutting each other are continuous in the circumferential direction when the sealing ring is reduced in diameter to a radially inner side. The sealing ring is provided along the circumferential direction of the rotation shaft so as to be contactable with an outer peripheral surface of the rotation shaft. The structure also includes a pressing member configured to be movable between a pressing position and a retracted position; an elastic member configured to bias the pressing member toward the pressing position by elastic force; and a support member configured to support the pressing member at the retracted position against the elastic force, and to allow the pressing member to move to the pressing position at a predetermined temperature.Type: GrantFiled: August 23, 2018Date of Patent: February 9, 2021Assignee: MITSUBISHI HEAVY INDUSTRIES, LTD.Inventors: Naotaka Komatsu, Takumi Hori, Yuichi Otani, Hidetaka Kafuku, Hiromu Okamoto, Shunsuke Tanaka, Yasushi Takayama, Tomoki Hanada
