  • Patent number: 7872554
    Abstract: A pulser ring and a second seal ring are separately formed. When a multipolar magnetic rotor of the pulser ring is bonded to an outer circumferential face of an outer cylindrical portion of an annular core portion, the multipolar magnetic rotor is opposed to a magnetic sensor in the radial direction. Due to the above structure, the multipolar magnetic rotor can be strongly supported by an outer cylindrical portion of the annular core portion. Therefore, even when a rotary centrifugal force is given to the multipolar magnetic rotor, it can not be swung in the radial direction. Accordingly, an interval of the multipolar magnetic rotor and the magnetic sensor in the radial direction, which are opposed to each other, can be maintained constant irrespective of an intensity of the centrifugal force.

  • Publication number: 20100242868
    Abstract: The position of a passage separating member in the axial direction of the cylinder bores is determined by causing a spacer to contact a bottom surface of a water jacket. When the separating member is inserted in the water jacket, the width of the separating member is reduced due to elastic deformation, so that the separating member can be arranged in the water jacket. After being arranged, the separating member tightly contacts the inner surface of the water jacket due to elastic restoration force. The tight contact prevents the separating member from moving upward in the water jacket. As a result, coolant is prevented from moving between the upper portion and the lower portion with respect to the separating member. The advantages of separate cooling of the coolant in the upper and lower portions with respect to the separating member are obtained. This reliably reduces the temperature difference along the axial direction of the cylinder bore forming body.

  • Publication number: 20090154854
    Abstract: A coreless seal 11 for being assembled in a shell-type roller bearing provided in a shell-type roller bearing comprises an elastic annular member 12. An outer diameter B of the coreless seal 11 for being assembled in the shell-type roller bearing is a dimension provided by adding interference 2A for an amount of thermal shrinkage to an inner diameter C of a shell-type outer ring. Since the annular member 12 shrinks in a direction shown by an arrow W at low temperature, the outer diameter of the coreless seal 11 for being assembled in the shell-type roller bearing is reduced from B to B?. However, since the outer diameter B is provided with the dimension A obtained by adding interference for an amount of thermal shrinkage, the coreless seal 11 for being assembled in the shell-type roller bearing has interference A? in its outer diameter B? even after the shrinkage.
