  • Patent number: 10400767
    Abstract: An electric pump unit is provided that ensures capability for lubricating a plain bearing and in which a lubricating oil passage is formed with a simple structure. This pump unit includes: a pump in which a rotor placed in a pump chamber of a pump housing rotates; and an electric motor having a motor shaft coupled to the rotor. The motor shaft is rotatably supported by a cylindrical plain bearing disposed in the pump housing. An oil seal is provided on the opposite side to the pump chamber with the plain bearing between so as to be located between the pump housing and the motor shaft. Oil supply grooves are formed in an inner peripheral surface of the plain bearing so as to extend through the plain bearing in an axial direction.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7216662
    Abstract: In a flow control apparatus, a fluid pressure is introduced from downstream of a metering orifice to a rear room of a spool while a relief valve in the spool is assembled in advance. A front section of a relief valve sub-assembly is press fitted to a hole provided on the spool and is opening to rear room of the spool so that a receiving room of a valve body in a relief valve casing communicates to a bypass path. A communicating path provided in a rod communicates to the rear room of the spool through outside of the relief valve sub-assembly. The relief valve casing is received in a receiving hole provided in the spool and a cylindrical room between the relief valve casing and the receiving room is used as a part of a communicating path.
