Abstract: A spring pad for a suspension can satisfy both conflicting dynamic seating property and durability, and unification of specifications. In particular, the spring pad may include: a body portion disposed on one side of a spring to support the spring; and an insert portion embedded inside of the body portion and integrally formed with the body portion. The spring is seated on an inclined surface of the body portion, and the inclined surface may be formed in a spiral shape gradually increasing in height. A spiral curve of the inclined surface may be formed by reflecting a composite line minimizing a gap between the inclined surface and the spring.

Abstract: A swage tool includes a power unit connected to a yoke. The power unit exerts vertical force on a die block. The yoke holds swage dies in place and opposes the force exerted by the die block. The die block transfers the load exerted by the power unit into the swage dies, which surround the connector. The swage dies convert vertical force from the power unit into a radial swage on the connector. Quick release endplates hold the swage dies in place in the yoke and the die block. A yoke shroud keeps broken pieces of the yoke together if the yoke fails. A counter records the number of swages made by the tool. A rotating handle, a stand, remote wireless actuation and swage die identification imprints are also provided.

Abstract: A composite transition joint is described. The transition joint includes a plurality of metal layers that are metallurgically bonded together. The metal layers include a base layer, an interlayer bonded to the base layer, and a top layer bonded to the interlayer. The top layer includes an aluminum manganese alloy and includes a thickness of at least 15 mm. The composite transition joint may bond a current stem to an anode of an aluminum smelter. The transition joint increases the length of the current stem, without impacting electrical conductivity of the current stem.
