And Magnetic Bias Patents (Class 277/501)
  • Patent number: 8136995
    Abstract: First portions are fixed to an outer ring, and second portions are fixed to an inner ring. Bimetal members and electromagnets are embedded in and fixed by elastic portions of the first portions and portions of the second portions are constituted by ferromagnetic members. Whereas at a normal temperature region, the first portions and the second portions are brought into contact with each other, based on deformations of the bimetal members at a temperature equal to or higher than a predetermined temperature equal to or higher than the normal temperature region, the first portions and the second portions are made to be disposed to be spaced apart from each other by intervals therebetween at a temperature equal to or higher than the predetermined temperature equal to or higher than the normal temperature region.

  • Publication number: 20110198814
    Abstract: A seal device has a magnetic force generator for generating a magnetic force in a vicinity of a shaft. A first magnetism transmission member for transmitting the magnetic force generator is disposed adjacent to one side of the magnetic force generator. A second magnetism transmission member for transmitting the magnetic force generated by the magnetic force generator is disposed adjacent to another side of the magnetic force generator. A slide bush is disposed and secured between an inner flange of the second magnetism transmission member and the shaft. A seal member for sliding relative to an outer peripheral surface of the shaft, is accommodated in a sealing. And, a magnetic fluid is held between the shaft and the magnetism transmission member by the magnetic force generated by the magnetic force generator.

  • Publication number: 20090085299
    Abstract: A sealing device formed to seal between a fixed side member and a rotating side member, comprising a slinger having a fitting cylindrical part fitted to the rotating side member and a flange part formed at one end part of the fitting cylindrical part positioned on the outer side of a sealed portion so as to be extended in the radial direction. A core comprises at least a fitting cylindrical part fitted to the fixed side member. The sealing device is characterized in that one end part of the fitting cylindrical part positioned on the outer side of the sealed portion is positioned on the sealed portion side more than the sealed portion side inner surface position of the flange part of the slinger and a part of a seal lip part is formed to be projected from near one end part of the fitting cylindrical part of the core and to be brought into elastically slidable contact with the extended end face of the slinger.

  • Publication number: 20090045588
    Abstract: A fan includes a plurality of blades and a motor. The motor includes a hub and a shaft having an end connected to the hub, a bushing, a bearing, and an oil-sealing structure. The blades are connected with and surrounding around the hub. The bushing is for supporting the other end of the shaft, and the bearing is disposed in the bushing and used to telescope the shaft. The shaft passes through the oil-sealing structure. The oil-sealing structure oil-sealing structure is telescoped to the shaft to fit tightly and the oil-sealing structure includes a main body and a barricade inwardly extending toward the shaft so that the oil-sealing structure is fixedly connected with the bushing.

  • Patent number: 6729623
    Abstract: A sealing assembly for two relatively rotating mechanical members, e.g. the two rings of a rolling-contact bearing, and of the type incorporating a sealing ring and a magnetic ring, both integral with a rigid first shield. The first shield has a radial flange. The sealing assembly also includes a covering of elastomeric material having a base portion extending on one face of the flange. The magnetic ring has an annular surface bonded to the base portion of the covering, and projects axially from the flange. The base portion of the covering is interposed axially between the flange and the magnetic ring, and is shaped to define a deformable locating and supporting mechanism for locating and supporting the magnetic ring.

  • Patent number: 6572113
    Abstract: A seal assembly for co-operation with a shaft comprising a seal member which, in use, in a first position, forms a seal against the shaft, a seal housing for retaining the seal member, means for applying a radially inward force to the seal member and means for applying a radially outward force to the seal member so that, when the means for applying a radially outwards force is operated, the seal member is dilated to a second position thereby enabling the seal assembly and the shaft to be fitted and disassembled in conventional manner, when the means for applying a radially outward force is removed the means for applying a radially inward force to the seal member returns the seal member to the first position.
