Patent number: 8585296Abstract: An axial lip is formed on a side surface of a seal of a rolling bearing which faces a slinger so as to expand outwards of the bearing. A projecting portion is formed on a flat surface of the slinger which faces the seal by flexing the slinger in an axial direction so as to cause the slinger to project inwards of the bearing, and a distal end of the axial lip is brought into contact with the flat surface of the slinger in a position lying further radially outwards than the projecting portion on the slinger. A radially inward inner surface of the axial lip of the axial lip and a radially outer side sloping surface formed radially outwards of the projecting portion on the slinger form a labyrinth, and a portion of the side surface of the seal which lies further radially inwards than the position where the axial lip is formed and an apex portion of the projecting portion on the slinger form a labyrinth.Type: GrantFiled: May 26, 2009Date of Patent: November 19, 2013Assignee: JTEKT CorporationInventors: Kunihiro Yamaguchi, Youichi Numada, Ikuo Ito

Patent number: 8308370Abstract: In a sealing device for a bearing, a sub-seal lip is configured such that a slide contact surface is formed like an annular band. As the rotation speed of the bearing increases, the width of the slide contact surface is reduced by a centrifugal force. Thus, sliding friction can effectively be minimized. The torque of the bearing can be prevented from increasing at high-speed rotation. Even when the centrifugal force increases somewhat, only reduction in the width of the slide contact surface is caused. Thus, a slide-contacted state can be maintained. Consequently, the problem of floating-up of the sub-seal lip from a slinger is difficult to occur.Type: GrantFiled: February 24, 2009Date of Patent: November 13, 2012Assignee: JTEKT CorporationInventors: Yoshitaka Nakagawa, Youichi Numada, Hajime Tadumi, Tsuyoshi Okumura, Kunihiro Yamaguchi, Ikuo Ito

Patent number: 6994102Abstract: A pressure regulating valve which is comprised of a valve body being comprised of a cylinder, a spool slidably disposed in the cylinder with a clearance, the spool and the cylinder defining a pressure chamber and a space portion, and an urging member which urges the spool in a direction opposite to a direction of a force applied to the spool by fluid pressure in the pressure chamber. A supply passage fluidly communicates the cylinder and a fluid pressure supply source, and a drain passage fluidly communicates the cylinder and a sump. A through-passage formed in the spool fluidly communicates the pressure chamber and the space portion. An orifice disposed between the space portion and a sump limits a flow rate of fluid drained from the space portion to the sump. The spool is made of material having a lower thermal expansion coefficient than material of the valve body.Type: GrantFiled: October 29, 2003Date of Patent: February 7, 2006Assignee: JATCO LTDInventors: Kunihiro Yamaguchi, Koichi Tamura, Akinori Araki, Yasushi Nagai
