  • Publication number: 20240255022
    Abstract: In a tapered roller bearing in which a segment holder divided into a plurality of segments in a circumference direction is used in an inner ring assembly, which is incorporated into an outer ring, guide claws are provided on an outer-diameter side of adjacent columnar portions of each pocket of a holder to allow the tapered rollers to be inserted into the pockets from an inner-diameter side of the segments. An engaging portion is provided on a large-diameter-side lateral-surface of a large-diameter-side arc-shaped portion of the segment. A connecting member, which is to be wound around on a large-diameter side of the segments arranged in a ring shape, is made to pass through the engaging portion, and ends of the connecting member are removably connected together by a fastening member, so that adjacent segments are butted together and fixed.

  • Patent number: 10883544
    Abstract: A double-row self-aligning roller bearing has rollers interposed, in two rows aligned in a bearing width direction, between an inner ring and an outer ring. The outer ring has a spherical raceway surface. Each of the rollers has an outer circumferential surface having a cross-sectional shape that matches the raceway surface of the outer ring. Either or both of shapes and contact angles of the rollers are different from each other. An attachment hole to which a protrusion prevention jig is attachable is provided in an end surface of at least either one of the inner ring and the outer ring.

  • Patent number: 9156164
    Abstract: In a method for adjusting parameters of impedance control, an overshoot amount allowable value is set as an allowable maximum value of an overshoot amount of a time response of a force feedback from a force sensor provided for an end effector of a robot manipulator, and a setting time allowable value is set as an allowable maximum value of a setting time of the time response of the force feedback. A viscosity parameter with which the setting time is shortest is calculated while fixing the inertia parameter. An overshoot amount adjustment value and a setting time adjustment value which are obtained from a result of the calculating of the viscosity parameter are compared with the overshoot amount allowable value and the setting time allowable value, respectively, to determine whether a repeating process is finished or continued.

  • Patent number: 8867873
    Abstract: An optical wavelength multi/demultiplexing circuit is provided in which temperature dependence at a transmission center wavelength remained in an athermalized AWG is compensated. An AWG according to an embodiment of the present invention is compensated for the main temperature dependence at the transmission center wavelength. The AWG comprises an optical splitter, a first and second arm waveguides, an optical mode combining coupler and a multimode waveguide between an input/output waveguide and a slab waveguide. The optical mode combining coupler couples fundamental mode light from the first arm waveguide as fundamental mode and the fundamental mode light from the second arm waveguide as first mode. The multimode waveguide is capable of propagating the fundamental and first mode light. This AWG is configured such that the temperature dependence remained in the arrayed waveguide grating is compensated by changing the optical path length difference between the first and second arm waveguides with temperature.

  • Patent number: 8798790
    Abstract: An apparatus for detecting a contact position where a robot makes contact with an object includes a probe, a probe-position calculating unit, a contact detecting unit, and a contact-position calculating unit. The probe is attached to the robot and is configured to make a displacement in a direction of making contact with the object in an elastic manner. The probe-position calculating unit calculates a position of the probe of the robot in operation. The contact detecting unit detects a contact state of the probe with the object. When the contact state of the probe is detected, the contact-position calculating unit derives the contact position based on a calculated position of the probe.
