Abstract: The present invention provides a fan motor capable of achieving both an improvement in a self cooling function of the fan motor and a reduction in fan noise, and of preventing the occurrence of heat damage, problems, and the like caused by external radiation heat and by self-heating, fan noise, and deterioration in fan performance and in fan efficiency. The fan motor (1) includes: a shroud (2); a motor (3) secured to and supported at the shroud (2); an axial-flow fan (4) connected to a rotation shaft part of the motor (3); and a heat shield panel (5) mounted at the rear side of the motor (3) with a gap being provided therebetween, in which the heat shield panel (5) has a spatula-shaped air guiding part (52) projecting outward in a radial direction at least one location on an outer circumference portion; and the air guiding part (52) has a width gradually reducing toward an outer side and a fan-rotational-direction leading edge part (53) having an arc shape.

Abstract: A pitch drive device of a wind power generator capable of preventing the loss of reliability of the pitch drive device with a simple structure and a wind power generator are provided. A rotor head of a wind power generator in which a plurality of wind turbine blades are radially attached around a rotation axis is formed by joining a plurality of separately formed front rotor head and rear rotor head, and joint portions of the front rotor head and the rear rotor head are formed in a plane intersecting the rotation axis.

Abstract: To provide a turbocharger whose lifetime is long, which is capable of inexpensively and precisely performing nozzle vane angle synchronous control by using inexpensive and highly wear resistant components in a link mechanism for driving a rotation mechanism of nozzle vanes of an adjustable nozzle mechanism. As pins fixedly arrayed in a ring plate rotatably supported on the turbocharger, that set an angle of the nozzle vanes for controlling an amount of exhaust gas for rotating a turbine rotor, each pin in which a hard coating with a thickness of approximately 2 ?m which is formed of Al, Cr, Si, and N by physical vapor deposition is formed onto an austenitic stainless steel as a base material, is used.

Abstract: An object is to improve the efficiency of a compressor by preventing localized concentration of a boundary layer occurring on the surface of a hub, and by inducing a reduction in the thickness of the boundary layer. There is a compressor impeller having a plurality of blades, and a hub disposed at the root of this plurality of blades, and in which at least part of the surface of the hub on which a fluid flows is inclined in relation to an axis of rotation, wherein a boundary layer reduction part which induces a reduction in the thickness of a boundary layer occurring due to a flow of fluid is provided on the surface of the hub.
