Abstract: A caulked portion is formed by plastic deformation of a cylindrical portion which is formed at the inner end of a shaft member and is reduced in thickness toward the leading end in a diametrical outward direction. The force required to form the caulked portion is reduced, and the caulked portion is less susceptible to damage. Further, the force of the caulked portion for supporting the inner ring is ensured.

Abstract: In a state that a wafer stage is not positioned in the center of the Y-direction traveling range, thrusts Fa, Fb supplied from a pair of linear motors to a Y-direction stage are made different and the Y-direction stage is moved in the X direction so that moments Ma, Mb about the centroid of the Y-direction stage by the thrusts Fa, Fb cancel each other. Since the moments Ma, Mb about the centroid generated by the thrusts cancel each other and the thrusts do not act as forces for rotating the Y-direction stage, the Y-direction stage is not deflected in a yawing direction. Such a stage device as constructed above can prevent deflection in a yawing direction due to displacement of the centroid position of an object to be positioned or a stage and precisely move the object to be positioned to a target position.

Abstract: A tool controlling apparatus includes a position controlling unit and a torque controlling unit for carrying out the conversion between the position control and the torque control of the tool for pushing the work, and the conversion of the torque in the torque control in a moment by using a servo motor in the course of process of the work.

Abstract: To provide an ink jet image forming method and an ink jet image forming device capable of forming an image of superior quality by using quickly drying ink and slowly drying ink in combination, wherein deviation which may occur in a discharge position of ink causes no reduction in the resolution of the image, black ink is adopted as the slowly drying ink, and so is white ink as one of the quickly drying ink. A white dot is formed with the white ink in a position to form a black dot on white recording paper, thereafter applying the black ink thereto. Deviation which may occur in the discharge position of the quickly drying white ink on the recording paper thus becomes almost visually unnoticeable.

Abstract: A roller cage made of metal for holding rollers of a roller bearing, includes: separation bars separately defining a plurality of window holes along a peripheral direction of the bearing with a constant interval thereamong. The window holes respectively receive said rollers therein. Each of the separation bars includes: a contact surface being formed by press-molding one of an outer diameter surface side end portion and an inner diameter surface side end portion thereof, and contacting with the rolling surface of the roller; and an expansion portion expanding to a radial direction of the bearing at the other of the outer diameter surface side end portion and the inner diameter surface side end portion which is not subjected to the press-molding.

Abstract: In an annular member forming apparatus including: a forming roll rotatable in contact with an outer cylindrical surface of an annular workpiece; a mandrel relatively movable towards and away from the forming roll in contact with an inner cylindrical surface of the workpiece; and an outside diameter detecting device for detecting an outside diameter of the workpiece which is to be worked, the apparatus further includes a moving device for moving relatively the forming roll and the mandrel and for pressing the workpiece by the forming roll and the mandrel moved towards each other to subject the workpiece to rough rolling and to finish rolling. The moving device includes a retracting device for correcting an elastic deformation of the forming roll, the mandrel and the moving device occurring during the rough rolling, for a switching time from the rough rolling to the finish rolling by an output signal from the outside diameter detecting device.
