  • Patent number: 11962184
    Abstract: In the production of a non-oriented electrical steel sheet by subjecting a steel slab having a certain component composition to a hot rolling, a hot-band annealing, a cold rolling and a finish annealing, the conditions of the finish annealing are controlled such that a yield stress of the steel sheet after the finish annealing is not less than 480 MPa. Also, when a motor core is produced by using the above steel sheet, there can be provided a non-oriented electrical steel sheet capable of producing a rotor core and a stator core as the same raw material where the stator core is subjected to a stress relief annealing at a soaking temperature of 780 to 950° C. in an atmosphere having a nitrogen content of not more than 30 vol % and a dew point of not higher than ?20° C., while a motor core is produced with such a steel sheet.

  • Patent number: 11946123
    Abstract: Provided is a method of easily producing a non-oriented electrical steel sheet that contains substantially no Al and contains large amounts of Si and Mn and has low iron loss, comprising hot rolling a slab having a specified chemical composition to obtain a hot-rolled sheet; coiling the hot-rolled sheet; cold rolling the hot-rolled sheet once or twice with intermediate annealing being performed therebetween, to obtain a cold-rolled sheet; and subjecting the cold-rolled sheet to final annealing, wherein the hot-rolled sheet after the hot rolling is cooled at an average cooling rate from 800° C. to 650° C. of 30° C./s or more, and thereafter the coiling is performed at 650° C. or less.

  • Publication number: 20020046677
    Abstract: A seismic isolation system is provided with a swing bearing ring consisting of an upper ring and a lower ring, which are rotatable relatively, between a crane body and a traveling means. A lower vertical shaft of a block pivotally supported on saddles of the crane body is supported by a swing bearing provided at an eccentric position on the upper ring. An automatic restoring mechanism is provided which restores the swing of a horizontal lever, whose proximal end is installed to the upper ring of the swing bearing ring, around the centerline C2.

  • Patent number: 6234332
    Abstract: A transverse trolley 11 is transversally movable on a crane girder. A driver is provided for the transverse trolley 11. A pair of sheave blocks 14, 15 which is movable relative to a transverse trolley 11 are disposed on both (right and left) sides of a transverse trolley 11. Drivers are provided for the sheave blocks. Detectors 31 through 38 are provided which detect the displacement and velocity of the transverse trolley 11, the sway displacement and velocity of a hoisted load-piece 23 on both (right and left) sides and the displacement and velocity of the two sheave blocks 14, 15. A notch is disposed on an operation controlling panel of the transverse trolley 11 for setting a trolley transverse velocity by an operator. A transverse notch-driving control quantity detector 40 is provided which outputs signals indicative of notch-driving control quantity (a trolley transverse velocity set value) which is set by operating the notch.

  • Patent number: 5819962
    Abstract: An apparatus for stopping the transverse swing and skew motions of a hoisted cargo according to the present invention comprises a pair of movable frames (15) which are disposed on a transversely moving trolley (1) along left and right sides of the trolley (1) and which are movable with respect to the trolley (1) in a direction of movement of the trolley, two sets of guide sheaves (13, 14) for hoisting ropes fixedly arranged on each of said pair of movable frames (15) with a certain distance between the sets, and a pair of drive means (17) disposed on said trolley (1) for moving said pair of moving frames (15) independently with respect to said trolley (15), wherein the swing or skew motion, or a combination of these motions, of the cargo hoisted by the trolley (1) is reduced by the operation of the movable frames (15) (guide sheaves) disposed the opposite sides of the trolley (1).
