Abstract: A squirrel-cage rotor and a production method thereof, the rotor having conductors with sufficient strength. In the invention, conductor particles are sprayed onto a core and/or conductive bars in a solid-state. As a result, in the coating material, the enlargement of the crystal grain of the conductors is significantly restricted, whereby conductive end rings are connected to the core and/or the conductive bars. Since conductor particles do not melt, a gap formed by thermal contraction when the conductor melts between different kinds of members is prevented from being formed. Therefore, the deterioration of the conductor may be limited, and the conductor may have sufficient strength. The reliability of the rotor is improved.

Further, the conductor end rings can be reinforced with an easily-obtainable material and additionally, the junction of conductor end rings can be easily viewed from an outside.

Abstract: A gasket having a concentrically waved metal sheet, i.e., a core member, which has a PTFE sheet or an inorganic sheet of sealing-property layered and bonded on each of its opposite surfaces. The gasket makes it possible to ensure a stable sealing-property for a long period of time with a low to a high fastening-load applied. The metal sheet has valley portions, which were conventionally vacant gaps, and are filled with powdered sealing member to be embedded from the beginning. Therefore, the PTFE sheet or the inorganic sheet at the valley portions of the metal sheet that conventionally could not be compressed with a low fastening-load applied is compressed and even with the low fastening-load applied can secure a fastening surface-pressure over the entire surface.

Abstract: A gasket having a concentrically waved metal sheet, i.e., a core member, which has a sheet of sealing-property layered and bonded on each of its opposite surfaces. The gasket has an enhanced adaptability of the sheet material and enables the thinner sheet to be used and at the same time makes it possible to ensure a stable sealing-property for a long period of time with a low to a high fastening-load applied. The metal sheet has valley portions, which were conventionally vacant gaps, and are filled with powdered sealing member to be embedded from the beginning. Therefore, the sheet at the valley portions of the metal sheet that conventionally could not be compressed with a low fastening-load applied can be compressed and even with the low fastening-load applied can secure a fastening surface-pressure over the entire surface.
