Abstract: A radially resilient caliper pin assembly for slideably mounting a disc brake caliper to a torque member comprises an elastomeric core and two preferably metal shell members bonded to the elastomeric core to form a split-shell case about the elastomeric core. The shell members each provide substantially flat outer surfaces adapted to lie against corresponding surfaces of the caliper pin receiving way.

Abstract: A moving-iron, linear-motor compressor suitable for use in a refrigerant system, wherein a conical armature reciprocates in a complementary air-gap under the influence of an electromagnetic circuit and a pair of linear (constant rate) complementary return springs connected to the armature between the compressor piston and an outboard bearing. The armature rod is made of magnetically permeable material. The electromagnetic circuit includes a pair of abutting convoluted loops of spirally wound magnetic strip material with a conical air-gap fabricated in the area of abutment. The motor has a layered construction which cooperates with the conical armature and air-gap such that the motor is self-aligning at the assembly stage.
