Publication number: 20060156844Abstract: Since a mounting member 11 has a cylindrical surface 11h to be engaged with a cylindrical hole 4d, it is possible to position a mounting member 11 and a nut 4 by only engaging the cylindrical surface 11h with the cylindrical hole 4d. Accordingly, it is possible to easily perform an assembly. In addition, when a force is applied to the mounting member 11 from the guide groove 1e of the case 1 in the rotational direction of the nut 4, the force is partially applied to the cylindrical hole 4d. Therefore, it is possible to reduce a load applied to screws 12 that fix the mounting member 11, and to use thinner screws.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 14, 2005Publication date: July 20, 2006Inventors: Tomofumi Yamashita, Daisaku Kawada, Shingo Saitou, Taikou Nawamoto

Patent number: 7000734Abstract: A rod body (30) is formed of magnetostrictive material and includes one end portion (30a) fixed, and a piston (35) is fixed to the other end portion (30b) of the rod body (30). The piston (35) is slidably disposed within a cylinder (36) in which there is formed a pump chamber (37). A suction port (39) for sucking lubricating oil into the pump chamber (37) is formed in the cylinder (36), while a suction valve (40) for preventing the lubricating oil from flowing out from the suction port (39) is disposed in the suction port (39). In the cylinder (36), there is disposed a nozzle (20) which communicates with the pump chamber (37) and has a sectional area smaller than the lubricating oil passage sectional area of the suction valve (40). There is disposed a coil (43) outside the rod body (30) and, to the coil (43), there is connected a control device (6) for controlling the supply of a current to be supplied to the coil (43).Type: GrantFiled: June 19, 2003Date of Patent: February 21, 2006Assignee: NSK Ltd.Inventors: Taikou Nawamoto, Kenichi Sugiyama, Satoshi Dairokuno, Yukiyoshi Okazaki
