  • Patent number: 7931454
    Abstract: A bearing is located with movement of an outer race in the longitudinal direction of a drive shaft being restricted, and the drive shaft is fixed to an inner race with the press fit, so that, it is possible to prevent the drive shaft from escaping. In addition, the inner race is longer than the outer race. Therefore, it is possible to obtain sufficient strength of the press fit of the drive shaft in the inner race while suppressing the size of the outer race (in other words, suppressing the size of the pump device). As a consequence, the size of the pump device can be suppressed while increasing reliability of the function for preventing the drive shaft from escaping.

  • Patent number: 7530647
    Abstract: A pump body includes a cylindrical first case for housing the plurality of rotary pumps, a second case located coaxially with the first case, and a disk spring located between the first case and the second case. In addition, a fixing means located at an entrance of the concave portion of a housing presses the second case in the insertion direction of the pump body and fixes the second case.

  • Publication number: 20070231177
    Abstract: A bearing is located with movement of an outer race in the longitudinal direction of a drive shaft being restricted, and the drive shaft is fixed to an inner race 51c with the press fit, so that, it is possible to prevent the drive shaft from escaping. In addition, the inner race is longer than the outer race. Therefore, it is possible to obtain sufficient strength of the press fit of the drive shaft in the inner race 51c while suppressing the size of the outer race (in other words, suppressing the size of the pump device). As a consequence, the size of the pump device can be suppressed while increasing reliability of the function for preventing the drive shaft from escaping.

  • Patent number: 6644860
    Abstract: In a radial roller bearing having an outer race and rollers, the outer race has a cylindrical portion and first and second flanges extending radially inward from opposite axial ends of the cylindrical portion. Hardness or strength of the cylindrical portion in a vicinity of the first flange is higher than that in a vicinity of the second flange. A shape of the first flange is different from that of the second flange. When the radial roller bearing is assembled to hold a rotating shaft on which a radial load acts, the outer race is easily oriented in an axial direction of the rotating shaft based on the shape difference between the first and second flanges so that the cylindrical portion in the vicinity of the first flange receives higher bearing pressure due to the radial load. Accordingly, flaking or peeling is unlikely to occur so that life time endurance and strength of the radial roller bearing is improved.

  • Patent number: 5261731
    Abstract: In a braking pressure control apparatus for a vehicle, a first valve connected between a hydraulic pressure source and a wheel cylinder serves to permit and inhibit a supply of brake fluid to the wheel cylinder from the hydraulic pressure source. A second valve connected between the wheel cylinder and a reservoir serves to permit and inhibit an escape of the brake fluid from the wheel cylinder toward the reservoir. A control device serves to output control signals to the first and second valves respectively to control the braking pressure in the wheel cylinder in response to a detected running condition of the vehicle.
