Abstract: An arc extinguishing device of a gas circuit breaker includes: an arc chamber in which an arc generated between a movable electrode and a fixed electrode is formed; a heat puffer chamber disposed so as to surround the arc chamber; a blow port in which the arc chamber communicates with the heat puffer chamber in the circumferential direction of the arc chamber; hydrogen absorbents which are disposed on an inner wall of a pressure chamber; an exhaust port which passes to the outside of an arc extinguishing chamber; and a hydrogen absorbent disposed at a position surrounding the movable electrode. Deterioration of insulation due to a product formed by decomposition of arc extinguishing gas by the arc during a contact opening operation can be suppressed.

Abstract: A damper hole having a large-diameter section is formed inside a body which is made of metal. A flange which fits in the large-diameter section is formed in a damper which is made of rubber and is received in the damper hole. The flange defines a cushion chamber in the large-diameter section. A gap for letting air restrictively discharge from the cushion chamber is formed between an outer periphery of the flange and an inner periphery of the large-diameter section. Motion energy of a moving object colliding with the damper is absorbed by both elasticity produced by the compressed damper and an air cushion effect produced by the flange and the cushion chamber.

Abstract: A linear actuator includes a cylinder main body, which is provided at one end thereof with a lock mechanism capable of restricting displacement of a slide table. The lock mechanism is equipped with a lock plate and a sub-piston. The lock plate is rotatable toward a side of the slide table by an elastic force of a spring, inserted into an insertion groove, and restricts displacement of the slide table. The sub-piston is displaced by a pressure fluid supplied to a supply port, and releases a displacement restricted state of the slide table by the lock plate.

Abstract: A linear actuator includes a guide mechanism and a retainer. On a guide block of the guide mechanism, a pair of ball-circulating grooves is formed on the lower surface that faces a cylinder body. Multiple balls are loaded in the ball-circulating grooves. Paired cover blocks are respectively mounted on the two ends of the guide block. The retainer has the form of paired ball clips, which are formed as arms to engage with the cover blocks when the clips are inserted in the ball-circulating grooves to hold the balls. Paired cover plates are respectively mounted on the end faces of the cover blocks, and arm-shaped cover clips are mounted so as to hold the cover plates. The cover plates, the cover blocks, and the guide block are thereby integrally linked.

Abstract: A linear actuator includes a cylinder main body. With respect to the cylinder main body, a slide table is disposed for reciprocal displacement through a guide mechanism, which is disposed on the cylinder main body. A stopper mechanism having a stopper bolt is disposed on one end of the slide table centrally in a widthwise direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the slide table. In addition, when the slide table is displaced along the cylinder main body, an end of the stopper bolt comes into abutment with an end of a cover of the guide mechanism, whereupon the slide table becomes engaged therewith and movement of the slide table is stopped.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a linear actuator. A slide table of the linear actuator includes a table main body and an end plate connected to another end of the table main body. On a base portion of the table main body, four workpiece retaining holes are formed, and fitting seats are disposed respectively about the workpiece retaining holes on radial outer sides thereof. The fitting seats are formed at the same time that the table main body is formed by press molding.

Abstract: A gas circuit breaker includes: a pair of electrodes provided so as to be able to come in contact with and separate from each other; and an insulating material that is placed so as to generate a decomposition gas in response to a direct or indirect action from an arc occurring between the pair of electrodes when a current is broken, wherein the decomposition gas generated from the insulating material when the current is broken is configured to be utilized for extinguishing the arc, and wherein an ablative material that does not include hydrogen atoms but has a carbon-oxygen bond in a main chain or ring part is used as the insulating material.
