  • Publication number: 20230160429
    Abstract: An outer ring case includes an annular guide groove housing an end of each of a plurality of inner rollers. A groove width representing a radial length of the guide groove is greater than a diameter of each inner roller. A radius representing a distance from a bearing axis to an inner wall face of the guide groove that is radially outer is smaller than a distance from the bearing axis to an axial center of each of rollers plus a radius of each inner roller.

  • Patent number: 10392310
    Abstract: The porous plate-shaped filler aggregate includes a plurality of the porous plate-shaped fillers. The porous plate-shaped fillers have a uniform plate shape with an aspect ratio of 3 or more, a minimum length of 0.1 to 50 ?m, a porosity of 20 to 99%, and the deviation of the maximum length among a plurality of the porous plate-shaped fillers, which is obtained by the following formula, is 10% or less. Deviation of the maximum length (%)=standard deviation of the maximum length/average value of the maximum length×100 (Here, ‘maximum length’ is the longest length when the porous plate-shaped fillers are held between a pair of parallel planes.

  • Patent number: 10228346
    Abstract: A sensor element includes a sensor element main body a including an oxygen ion-conductive solid electrolyte layer and a porous protective layer covering at least part of the sensor element main body. Then, the porous protective layer has the value of the number of interfaces in a unit thickness direction, which is the number of particle interfaces of constituent particles every 100 ?m in the thickness direction, of 15 or more and 250 or less.

  • Publication number: 20180242877
    Abstract: A magnetic fluid detecting device (1) that detects magnetic fluid that has been injected into a living body has a detector (2) that detects magnetic fluid in the body when it is in contact with or adjacent to the body, an output device (3) that outputs the detection results in a prescribed output form, a controller (4) that controls the output device (3) based on the detected value inputted from the detector (2), and a power supply module (5) that supplies power to the detector (2), output device (3) and controller (4), using a battery B as the power source. The detector (2), output device (3), controller (4) and power supply module (5) are integrated to allow holding with one hand.

  • Patent number: 9791349
    Abstract: An end play measurement apparatus is provided that measures end play of a tapered roller bearing of a gear unit. The gear unit supports a large-gear shaft, with which a gear is fitted, via the tapered roller bearing. The end play measurement apparatus includes a power generation unit, which is fixed to the large-gear shaft and generates power to move the gear unit backward and forward in the axial direction, a position change unit, which is interposed between the power generation unit and the gear unit and changes the axial position of the gear unit by using the power of the power generation unit, and a booster mechanism, which has a free end that receives the power of the power generation unit to boost the power.

  • Patent number: 9200678
    Abstract: A gear coupling includes first and second inner cylinders, first and second outer cylinders, and first and second closing plates interposed between the first and second inner cylinders and closing inner end faces of the first and second outer cylinders. In the first closing plate, one or a plurality of through-holes communicating with a device outer side of the first closing plate from a first grease chamber surrounded by the first inner cylinder, the first outer cylinder, and the first closing plate are formed. In the second closing plate, one or a plurality of through-holes communicating with a device outer side of the second closing plate from a second grease chamber surrounded by the second inner cylinder, the second outer cylinder, and the second closing plate are formed. Plugging members closing the through-holes are fitted to the through-holes.

  • Patent number: 9013077
    Abstract: To include a stator, a rotor that is arranged within the stator, a frame that encloses the stator and the rotor, a pair of bearings that respectively support a driving side and a driven side of a rotary shaft, and a fan that is mounted on the rotary shaft. A plurality of blades that extend in a radial direction of the rotor and are provided to stand at a substantially equal interval in a rotation direction of the rotor are formed in the fan. A cross section of each of the blades in a direction perpendicular to the rotor has an elliptical shape extending in the radial direction, and the cross section widens toward a side of the fan.
