  • Publication number: 20150133225
    Abstract: Providing a torsional vibration damping device capable of increasing torsional stiffness without increasing elastic members in the radius direction. In the torsional vibration damping device 1, a spring seat 16 for holding an end portion 4a of a coil spring 4 is provided between the other end 19b of an arm member 19 and the coil spring 4, and the spring seat 16 which contacts the other end 19b of the arm member 19 is constituted of a tapered face 16a.

  • Publication number: 20110081106
    Abstract: A manufacturing method of a thin component is characterized by heating a thin component, and thereafter, while sizing with molds and using molds as cooling media, performing one of quenching and isothermal transformation processes on thin component. Thus, a manufacturing method of a thin component without warping or deformation in heat treatment with even and high hardness, a bearing ring, a thrust needle roller bearing, a manufacturing method of a rolling bearing ring, a rolling bearing ring, and a rolling bearing can be obtained.

  • Patent number: 6951998
    Abstract: A plurality of individually corresponding heaters and temperature sensors are provided along with a plurality of a PID control means. An average temperature/gradient temperature calculating means calculates the average temperatures of the temperatures measured by the temperature sensors and the gradient temperatures based on the measured temperatures. Each of the PID control means outputs an operation signal so that the average temperatures or gradient temperatures may be made equal to the desired values. A distributing means distributes the operation signal from each of the PID control means to each heater so that control by the PID control means may produce no effect on the control of the other PID control means.
