  • Patent number: 7663270
    Abstract: In the canned linear motor armature, both the side surfaces of the armature winding (18) are fixed by two winding fixing frames (4) so as to sandwich the armature winding in between them in the longitudinal direction. A refrigerant passage (5) is provided in a space between the can (3) and the winding fixing frame (4). A seal material (24) is provided in a gap between a case (2) and the winding fixing frame (4) to prevent a refrigerant supplied to the refrigerant passage (5) from leaking to the armature winding (18) sandwiched in between the two winding fixing frames (4) to impregnate the armature winding (18) with the refrigerant. A waterproof film is adhered onto a surface of the winding fixing frame (4) where the refrigerant comes into contact.

  • Patent number: 7345384
    Abstract: In a linear motor, a can has a two-layer structure including an inner can 2 and an outer can 3, and an inner passage 7 formed between an armature winding 9 and the inner can 2 and an outer passage 8 formed between the inner can 2 and the outer can 3 are constituted by each can. Communicating portions 7A and 8A for causing the inner passage 7 and the outer passage 8 to communicate with each other are provided in the vicinity of a refrigerant supply port 5 in each of the cans 2 and 3 in such a manner that a refrigerant supplied from the refrigerant supply port 5 branches into the inner passage 7 and the outer passage 8 and thus flows. Consequently, it is possible to obtain a linear motor armature and a linear motor having a high cooling capability which can prevent the deformation of the can by using a conventional inactive refrigerant to improve the passage for the refrigerant.

  • Patent number: 6884151
    Abstract: A grinding apparatus for grinding a spline ball groove on a workpiece comprises a rod-shaped grindstone, having a distal end portion with a curved surface corresponding to the groove to be ground, and a spindle mechanism for rotating the grindstone. The spindle mechanism and the grindstone are supported by means of a supporter in a manner such that they are inclined at a given angle to an axis of the workpiece. A rotary dresser, which has a dress groove corresponding to the curved surface of the distal end portion of the grindstones is disposed near the grinding apparatus. The grindstone can be reciprocated along the axis of the workpiece by a drive mechanism between the workpiece and the dresser without changing its angle of inclination.

  • Patent number: 6693245
    Abstract: A Roberval's mechanism and a lever are configured separately. To the Roberval's mechanism, a lever housing section is formed for inserting the lever in the longitudinal direction and enabling the lever to be located between a pair of the upper and the lower Roberval's sections. To the other end of the lever, a section extending outwards beyond the lever housing section is equipped. A balance driving portion are mounted to the section equipped to the other end of the lever and extending outwards. The lever block is situated to extend through a hollowed out section of the fixed end of the Roberval load block. During manufacture, the lever is formed from a separate piece that has temporary bridges formed to maintain the fixed section and the mobile sections relatively immobile so that the spring sections are protected during assembly. After the lever is connected to the Roberval mechanism, the bridges are cut.

  • Patent number: 5711188
    Abstract: An internal-circulation-type ball screw having simple construction and high productivity is provided. A ball nut has one or more through holes and one or more constrictions, which are formed around its outer peripheral surface so as to span the openings of respective through holes. One or more deflectors are put in respective through holes and fixed by fitting corresponding deflector-locking springs onto the constrictions. Each deflector-locking spring is a thin plate spring having a substantially C-shaped cross section with a concave portion in the middle. When the deflector-locking spring is fitted onto the constriction, the concave portion thereof presses the deflector in the through hole toward the threaded shaft. Thus, the deflector is fixed to the ball nut.
