  • Patent number: 11391658
    Abstract: An air bubble measurement device is a device that measures the air bubbles moving in the liquid. The air bubble measurement device includes a measurement chamber that holds a liquid. The measurement chamber includes an introduction port to introduce the air bubbles in the liquid from a lower side and a transparent inclined surface that faces obliquely downward and is disposed at a position to which the air bubbles present inside the liquid move up. The transparent inclined surface includes a hydrophilic membrane. The hydrophilic membrane has a contact angle with water of 20 degrees or less. This structural arrangement allows for reducing an attachment of the air bubbles on the transparent inclined surface even when the air bubbles become small. This allows for reducing stay of the air bubbles on the transparent inclined surface and allows for accurately measuring the states of the air bubbles (that is, the size and quantity of the air bubbles).

  • Patent number: 10953477
    Abstract: A chuck mechanism operates a piston in a cylinder tube by using action of compressed air and opens and closes, by using a rod coupled to the piston, a pair of fingers, thereby gripping work W. The locking mechanism locks the fingers at work grip positions. The locking mechanism includes a first locking member, a second locking member, and a drive device. The first locking member is displaced when the pair of fingers are opened or closed. The second locking member retains the first locking member so as to lock the fingers at the work grip positions. The drive device relatively displaces the first locking member and the second locking member to locking positions and non-locking positions.

  • Publication number: 20210071722
    Abstract: A rotation transmission device is provided which includes, in its housing, an electromagnetic clutch, and a two-way clutch by which a first shaft and a second shaft are selectively engaged with, and disengaged from, each other. A rolling bearing is disposed at one axial end of the housing, and supports the second shaft and the housing. Locking arrangements prevent relative axial movement between the second shaft and the rolling bearing, and between the rolling bearing and the housing. A movement restricting arrangement is disposed at the other axial end of the housing, and restricting movement of the electromagnetic clutch toward the other axial end of the housing.

  • Patent number: 10302155
    Abstract: A rotation transmission device includes an electromagnetic clutch including an armature, a rotor having an outer tubular portion and an inner tubular portion, and an electromagnet. A bearing support tube is provided at the outer end surface of a core supporting an electromagnetic coil of the electromagnet. A bearing is mounted in the bearing support tube so as to be axially fixed in position and not to be pulled out of the bearing support tube. The small-diameter tubular portion is provided at the end of the inner tubular portion of the rotor, and press-fitted in the bearing such that the rotor and the electromagnet form a unit.
