Abstract: A bearing structure comprises: two bearings arranged in an axis direction and having outer rings and inner rings; and a spacer interposed between the bearings. The spacer comprises: a ring-like outer ring spacer interposed between the outer rings of the two bearings arranged in the axis direction, and having an insertion hole penetrating the outer ring spacer in a radial direction RD and into which a jig is to be inserted; and a ring-like inner ring spacer interposed between the inner rings of the two bearings arranged in the axis direction, and having an engagement part to make engagement with the jig inserted into the insertion hole. The one bearing is capable of being pulled out together with the spacer from a rotary shaft supported by the inner rings by pulling the jig in the axis direction inserted into the insertion hole and engaged with the engagement part.

Abstract: An electric motor includes a stator, a rotor provided rotatably about a predetermined rotational axis line relative to the stator, a cooling fan configured to rotate an impeller through a fan motor fixed to the stator, and a coupling unit configured to detachably couple the rotor and the impeller of the cooling fan. The coupling unit couples the rotor and the impeller while the fan motor is stopped, and decouples the rotor and the impeller after the fan motor starts.

Abstract: An inner surface of a tank 10 is formed by joining a large number of metal plates 21, 23 and 25 to one another by welding. Before injecting pressure resistance testing water into an inside of the tank 10 in order to test pressure resistance of the tank 10, a corrosion inhibitor 31 is applied to welds 27 between the metal plates 21, 23 and 25 on a bottom part of the tank 10. A total bottom part area A1 of the welds 27 to be applied with the corrosion inhibitor 31 on the bottom part of the tank 10 is made wider than a total non-bottom-part area A2 of the welds to be applied with the corrosion inhibitor 31 on the inner surface of the tank 10 other than the bottom part of the tank 10.

Abstract: A motor with an air-cooling structure having high cooling efficiency and capable of avoiding an increase in the size of the motor. A stator of the motor has an air flow channel being formed in the stator near outer circumferences of the slots. Air conveyed from a fan motor collides with an inner surface of an end at a spindle side of the stator, while cooling the slots through the air flow channel. The flowing direction of air which collides with the housing is inverted by a redirecting part, and the air is returned to the fan motor side while cooling the outside of the stator.
