Abstract: A device for cold working pipe elements has two or more cams, each having a gear which meshes with a pinion to turn all of the cams. Each cam has a cam surface with a region of increasing radius and may have a region of constant radius extending around a cam body. Each cam also has a traction surface extending around a cam body. A discontinuity in each cam surface is aligned with a gap in the traction surface of each cam. The discontinuities and gaps provide clearance for insertion and removal of the pipe element between the cams to form a circumferential groove when the cams are rotated. A cup adjacent the pinion is movable along the pinion axis to engage and disengage from a stop surface on one of the cams. Engagement between the cup and a stop surface prevents rotation of the cam.

Abstract: Provided are a motor device and a method for manufacturing the same that can accurately and consistently provide a support shaft to a case and enhance the strength for fixing the support shaft to the case. A small-diameter part having a smaller diameter than a large-diameter part is formed through drawing. The large-diameter part and a step part are embedded in a gear case. The small-diameter part is exposed outside the gear case. The dimensional accuracy (dimensional tolerance ±?) of the external diameter of the small-diameter part is enhanced. The small-diameter part can be set, without rattling, in a lower mold for molding the gear case. Consequently, the support shaft can be accurately and consistently provided to the gear case. Because the large-diameter part and the step part are embedded in the gear case, the resistance of the support shaft against pulling from the gear case can be enhanced.
