Publication number: 20100314959Abstract: The invention is aimed, in a rolling bearing device, to improve its durability by appropriately attenuating vibration of a rotating shaft by means of a high level of dumping performance, and thereby to reduce the load imposed on the rolling bearing and/or the overall system. A rolling bearing device of the present invention comprises a rolling bearing (13) including: an inner ring (24) and an outer ring (23) that are disposed so as to be relatively rotatable; and a plurality of rolling elements (25) disposed between the inner ring (24) and the outer ring (23), in which the rolling bearing (13) supports relative rotation between a shaft (14) and a housing (12). Besides, the rolling bearing device comprises, between the rolling bearing (13) and the housing (12), a damper member (60) formed by one or more metal wires (64) that are knitted.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 7, 2008Publication date: December 16, 2010Applicant: JTEKT CORPORATIONInventors: Hiroshi Ueno, Toshihiko Shiraki, AkiĆ² Oshima, Tomonori Nakashita, Masaaki Ohtsuki, Shigenori Bando, Masaki Abe, Ryuji Nakata, Takehisa Kida

Publication number: 20090081040Abstract: A rolling bearing device includes a bearing housing supported on a casing of a turbocharger, and a pair of rolling bearings mounted within the bearing housing and rotatably supporting a turbine shaft. A middle position between the pair of rolling bearings in an axial direction and a central portion of the bearing housing in the axial direction are offset from each other in the axial direction. Each of the rolling bearings includes an inner ring, an outer ring, an intermediate ring interposed between the inner and outer rings, a row of rolling elements rollably interposed between the inner ring and the intermediate ring, and a row of rolling elements rollably interposed between the intermediate ring and the outer ring. The intermediate ring has a damper function to be very slightly displaced or very slightly deformed elastically so as to damp vibration produced during rotation of the turbine shaft.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 24, 2008Publication date: March 26, 2009Applicant: JTEKT CORPORATIONInventors: Hiroshi Ueno, Toshihiko Shiraki, Akio Oshima, Tomonori Nakashita, Masaaki Ohtsuki, Shigenori Bando, Masaki Abe, Ryuji Nakata, Takehisa Kida

Patent number: 7323515Abstract: The invention relates to a sealing composition which comprises a crosslinkable fluoroelastomer, a crosslinking agent for this elastomer and a reinforcing polyimide resin powder; and seals such as O-rings, made by molding the composition into a prescribed shape and crosslinking the molded article. According to the invention, seals free from metals and sulfur can be made from a fluoroelastomer suitable for the production unit for semiconductor devices without a scatter of physical properties within one seal or among seals, and the obtained seals are lowered in the compression set determined ate the same hardness level to cause little permanent set by compression in use, thus having a prolonged service life.Type: GrantFiled: November 29, 2002Date of Patent: January 29, 2008Assignees: Jtekt Corporation, Koyo Sealing Techno Co., Ltd.Inventors: Kazunori Hayashida, Takehisa Kida, Kazutoshi Yamamoto, Tomotaka Nakagawa, Takahiro Yamagishi, Masanobu Kato
