  • Patent number: 6927507
    Abstract: A stepping motor being a motor used in oil includes a coil formed with a conductor coated with an outer coating and wound around a bobbin, and coil terminals electrically connected to the conductor at ends thereof led out from the coil, the outer coating being removed from the conductor at the ends thereof. The coil terminals are coated with a protective film made of a material having low permeability to elemental sulfur and sulfur compounds. Therefore, coil terminals and ends of the conductor are prevented from erosion by sulfur and organic sulfur compounds, thereby reducing risk of disconnection in the coil terminals and the conductor.

  • Patent number: 6163239
    Abstract: The present invention provides a compact duty-driven solenoid valve which inhibits occurrence of impact sound upon driving and prevents occurrence of adherence at low temperatures. In this duty-driven solenoid valve, a plunger is arranged in a center hole of a bobbin having a coil wound thereon, and a guide made of a magnetic material is arranged on one end side of the bobbin, opposite to the plunger. A spring is provided so as to impart a force to move the plunger toward the guide, and further, a valve assembly for switching over a channel for a control fluid is arranged opposite to the plunger with the guide in between. A rod for transmitting a moving force of the plunger to the valve assembly is arranged so as to be inserted through the guide and to reach the valve assembly. The positional relationship between the rod and the valve assembly is configured to maintain a prescribed gap between the plunger and the guide during feeding of current to the coil.

  • Patent number: 5915416
    Abstract: A three way electromagnetic valve has a plunger provided with a small-diameter section, the diameter of which is smaller than the diameter of a plunger seat, so as to increase the sectional area of a fluid passage running between an output port and a discharge port. The inner wall surface of a ball holding section is provided with ball guides for guiding a ball. The diameter of the ball holding section is made larger than the diameter of the ball in order to secure the flow rate of a fluid in the ball holding section.

  • Patent number: 5269192
    Abstract: A strain detector to be attached to the shafts of devices such as engines, motors, electromagnetic clutches. First and second magnetic layers are disposed on the driven shaft so as to change permeability with a mechanical strain in the shaft. First and second detecting coils are wound around the first and second magnetic layers so as to be in a noncontact state therewith. Detecting means detects outputs of the detecting coils corresponding to the change in permeability. Furthermore, the driven shaft includes a heat conductive means with conductivity which is high enough to allow a temperature of each of said magnetic layers to be uniform. The outputs of the first and second detecting coils are detected in synchronism with both positive and negative drive timings of the AC drive circuit for applying an AC voltage to each of the detecting coils and smoothed and amplified thereafter, thereby allowing two strain detection outputs to be produced.

  • Patent number: 5123496
    Abstract: A rear-wheel steering angle detecting apparatus according to the present invention includes an absolute value type rotary encoder (13) operatively connected with a rear-wheel steering mechanism for detecting the steering angle of the rear wheels of a vehicle, and a controller for finely dividing the output of the rotary encoder by the output of a pulse generator (12) for fine division of the rear-wheel steering angle. By finely dividing the rear-wheel steering angle, as detected by the rotary encoder, by the number of pulses generated by the pulse generator, which is used for speed detection, the rear-wheel steering angle is detected with a high degree of resolution.
