Patent number: 7860663Abstract: A abnormality diagnosing apparatus used in a machine equipment including a rotating or sliding part relative to a stationary member includes a detecting portion 31 fixed to the rotating or sliding part or the stationary member and including a vibration sensor 32 and a temperature sensor 33, and a signal processing portion 81 for determining a state of the part from a detecting signal outputted by the detecting portion 31. The signal processing portion 81 determines presence or absence of a abnormality, or presence or absence of the abnormality and a degree of a damage of the part based on a combination of a measured result by the vibration sensor 32 and a measured result by the temperature sensor 33.Type: GrantFiled: September 13, 2005Date of Patent: December 28, 2010Assignee: NSK Ltd.Inventors: Takanori Miyasaka, Yasushi Mutoh, Juntaro Sahara

Patent number: 6311660Abstract: In a case where crowning is provided on a contact surface of a tappet roller by the combination of, for example, two circular arcs, a logarithmic crowning is determined in which an edge load does not occur in the bearing pressure even if its inclination with respect to the cam is {fraction (5/1,000)} or thereabouts, and a crowning profile is set between two logarithmic crownings. In addition, the crowning profile is defined so as to be present between the logarithmic crownings in a case where the axial position x with the center in the direction of a bus set as an origin is at a position 0.85-fold and at a position 1.0-fold the half Le of the effective contact length, respectively.Type: GrantFiled: September 15, 2000Date of Patent: November 6, 2001Assignee: NSK Ltd.Inventors: Juntaro Sahara, Shinichi Natsumeda
