Abstract: A first delay circuit receives a sampling clock obtained by multiplying detected frequency of reference clock patterns and outputs delay clocks from first delay stages, respectively. Recording frequency of the sampling clock is not obtained using the reference clock patterns but obtained using received addresses. A disk driving apparatus obtains the number of the first delay stages to be used which correspond to one cycle of the obtained recording frequency and necessary for phase adjustment of the sampling clock, and disables not-used first delay stages. Any of the delay clocks is selected and at least one of regenerating operation to read data from a disk media and recording operation to write data thereto is executed in synchronization with the selected delay clock. Consequently, the number of delay stages to be disabled can be obtained with simple control, reducing power consumption of circuits for adjusting phases of the sampling clocks.

Abstract: A hydraulic shock absorber in which a sliding member in a location far from an opening portion of an external cylinder is fixed on an inner peripheral surface of the external cylinder with extremely simple structure is provided. A sliding member fittingly fixed in the location far from the opening portion is formed in a ring shape at a parting line gap angle of 15° to 25°, and is deformed to reduce the parting line gap angle during press-fitting operation into the external cylinder so as to be fitted and assembled in a fitting recess formed on an external cylinder inner peripheral surface in the location far from the opening portion. Accordingly, a space of the opening is formed relatively wide and thus, it is possible to press-fit the sliding member in the location far from the opening portion by sufficiently deforming the sliding member.

Abstract: There is provided a double-sided sliding thrust bearing of a plate shape adapted to be in sliding contact with a counterpart on each of both faces of the thrust bearing, comprising a bearing structure provided with a plate-shaped base member having an anchor effect on each of both faces thereof, and a sliding layer having a thickness not less than 30 ?m on each of the faces of said base member which sliding layer is made of a thermosetting resin-containing material. By making the thickness of the sliding layer 10 not less than 30 ?m, it becomes possible for the thrust bearing 1 to slide shoes for a longer time even when being used in a dry state and the sliding layer 10 comes to be hardly peeled off from the base member 2 because of the anchor effect of the base member 2. Further, the mechanical strength and thermal conductivity of the thrust bearing 1 can be improved by the base member 2 located between the sliding layers 10.

Abstract: The invention provides a method of processing an inner surface of a bearing having a cylindrical shape which bearing includes a resin layer composed mainly of a synthetic resin as the inner surface, the method improving roughness of the inner surface and dimensional accuracy of an inner diameter of the bearing without cutting the inner surface. According to the method, the bearing is press-fitted into a jig and then the jig is mounted on a chuck. Next, a mandrel having a cylindrical bar shape is inserted into an inner diameter portion of the bearing and then the mandrel is heated by a heater up to 250° C., for example. The mandrel is expanded due to thermal expansion by the heating so that the inner surface, i.e., a surface of the resin layer is pressed by a press face of a peripheral surface of the mandrel.
