Abstract: Provided is an apparatus for manufacturing a hybrid stabilizer link. The apparatus includes a die that injects a resin to mold a socket into which a ball stud is inserted, a shaft whose first end is inserted into the die and which has the socket formed at the inserted first end thereof, and a control unit that fixes a pre-molded socket to the second end of the shaft, adjusts a rotational angle of the shaft based on a lengthwise axis of the shaft, and adjusts a distance from the die. After the socket is injection-molded on the first end of the metal shaft having a predetermined length, when another socket is injection-molded on the second end of the shaft, an angle of the previously molded and a distance from the die are easily adjusted.

Abstract: Provided is an apparatus and method for manufacturing a ball joint that are capable of reducing a torque applied between a ball stud and a ball seat. The ball joint manufacturing apparatus includes an upper mold having a shape configured to injection-mold a ball seat formed of a synthetic resin material and surrounding the outside of a spherical head part of a ball stud; a lower mold installed under the upper mold and having a molding surface for forming a portion of the ball seat; a fixing jig configured to fix the ball stud to a molding position of the upper mold and the lower mold; and a rotary member configured to rotate the fixing jig.

Abstract: An electrode terminal for an electrolytic capacitor capable of eliminating arrangement and welding of a lead wire to accomplish satisfactory quality control and improve productivity. The capacitor is adapted to be used for a capacitor including a capacitor element. The terminal includes a terminal body consisting of a flat section connected to the capacitor element of the capacitor and a cylindrical section serving as an electrode lead and a contact element made of a material exhibiting good solderability and securely mounted on an outer end of the cylindrical section in a leadless manner. The cylindrical section may be formed with a ring-like flange at a portion thereof contiguous to a sealing member of the capacitor. The contact element may be formed on a bottom thereof with an air vent hole.
