Abstract: The present invention provides a transmission unit that can realize a high speed-shifting ratio, can realize reduced size, low cost and low noise, and is also capable of limiting slip loss. Outer peripheral surfaces of a small diameter rolling element and a supplementary rolling element are brought into contact with an outer peripheral surface of a large diameter rolling element. The supplementary rolling element is arranged at an almost opposite side to the small diameter rolling element, thus enclosing the large diameter rolling element between the small diameter rolling element and the supplementary rolling element. An inner peripheral surface of the pressure adjustment ring is brought into contact with the outer peripheral surface of the small diameter rolling element and the outer peripheral surface of the supplementary rolling element, and is supported by them.

Abstract: A lubricant composition for a refrigerating machine employing a HFC type refrigerant containing at least one selected from the group consisting of HFC-32, HFC-125 and HFC-134a, which comprises a base oil of an ester formed from a dihydric or higher polyol as an alcohol and a monobasic aliphatic acid, alone or as a mixture thereof; and additives of, based on the total amount, 1) not less than 0.01 vol % and less than 1.0 vol % of a phosphate, 2) from 0.01 to 1.0 vol % of at least one of an alkylphosphorothionate and an arylphosphorothionate and 3) from 0.01 to 1.0 vol % of an epoxy compound.

Abstract: A refrigerating machine oil composition for vapor compression type refrigerating machines is disclosed which can be used with either of HCFC refrigerants and HFC refrigerants. The inventive machine oil composition comprises a polyol ester (ester compound) as a base oil. Furthermore, the base oil contains from 1.0 to less than 5.0% by weight of a phosphate, from 0.1 to 2.0% by weight of an alkyl phosphorothionate and/or an aryl phosphorothionate, and from 0.05 to 2.0% by weight of an epoxy compound. The composition is free from sludge formation and insufficient lubricity, which are drawbacks of the polyol ester, due to the synergistic effect of these additives. On the other hand, the inventive composition provides the desirable properties of a polyol ester base oil, namely, good compatibility with refrigerants, high electrical insulating properties, and low hygroscopicity.

Abstract: A refrigerating machine oil composition suitable for a compressor using a hydrofluorocarbon as a refrigerant, which comprises 100 parts by weight of a polyol ester as a base oil, from 7.0 to 15.0 parts by weight of a phosphate, and from 0.2 to 3.0 parts by weight in total of a 1,2-epoxyalkane and/or a vinylcyclohexene dioxide. The use of the refrigerating machine oil composition improves wear resistance of sliding portions of compressors and is free from the formation of sludges derived from the polyol ester used as a base oil of the oil composition. A rotary compressor using the oil composition is also disclosed.

Abstract: A lubricating oil is disclosed, which mainly is composed of a naphthenic hydrocarbon having 19 carbon atoms comprising two cyclohexane rings which have methyl-substitution at the 1, 2 and 4 positions thereof, the two cyclohexane rings being linked by a methylene group.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a composition suitable for use in mechanical power transmission devices. It has as its principal component a hydrocarbon oil which has from 19 to 30 carbon atoms, inclusive, and three six-membered carbocyclic rings and consists of a mixture of compounds having the following formula: ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 is a divalent straight or branched chain radical C.sub.y H.sub.2y where y is an integer of 1 through 3; R.sup.2 is a straight chain radical C.sub.z H.sub.2z where z is an integer of 1 through 3; R.sup.3, R.sup.4, and R.sup.
