For Thrust Plate Patents (Class 384/251)
  • Patent number: 10774874
    Abstract: A bearing assembly including a body defining an outer surface, an inner surface, and an aft surface is generally provided. A first inlet opening is defined through the outer surface in fluid communication with a first internal passage defined by a first internal wall. The first internal passage is in fluid communication with a first outlet opening defined through the inner surface. A second inlet opening is defined through the inner surface in fluid communication with a second internal passage defined by a second internal wall. The second internal passage is in fluid communication with a second outlet opening defined through the aft surface.

  • Patent number: 10727716
    Abstract: A motor is disclosed. The motor includes a first end bell, a second end bell and a stator with a stator coil disposed between the first end bell and the second end bell. A rotor with a rotor shaft that extends through the first end bell is disposed relative to the stator and rotates relative to the stator. The second end bell includes a first wall and a chamber, the first wall adjacent to the stator. The first wall includes a wire through hole to permit a plurality of conductors of the stator to pass through the first wall and into the chamber. A connector block with plurality of terminals is disposed within the chamber. Ends of each of the plurality of conductors are electrically connected to one of the plurality of terminals of the connector block. The wire through hole is filled with a sealant.

  • Patent number: 10526960
    Abstract: A turbocharger according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a rotating shaft, a compressor, a turbine, a compressor-side floating bearing and a turbine-side floating bearing that rotatably support the rotating shaft, and a bearing housing that houses the compressor-side floating bearing and the turbine-side floating bearing, the bearing housing being internally provided with a turbine-side oil feeding passage through which oil to be fed to the turbine-side floating bearing flows and a compressor-side oil feeding passage through which oil to be fed to the compressor-side floating bearing flows. A ratio of an oil feeding pressure for oil at an outlet of the compressor-side oil feeding passage to an oil feeding pressure for oil at an outlet of the turbine-side oil feeding passage is configured to be higher than 1.0 and lower than 1.5.

  • Patent number: 4690573
    Abstract: A take up adjuster for a swivel mounted on a structure for swiveling about a pin which utilizes a first pair of wedge plates having sloping surfaces therein for moving towards each other and a second pair of wedge plates having complimentary sloping surfaces thereon and slidably abutting the sloping surface of and contained by the first pair of wedge plates so that by moving the first wedge plates towards each other, the second wedge plates are raised upwardly to occupy any space that may exist between the swivel and the structure on which it is mounted.

  • Patent number: 4647228
    Abstract: A height adjusting device for machines or machine elements comprises three adjustment members positioned atop one another and together determining two sets of opposing surfaces. These surfaces allow a gyroscopic movement of the uppermost adjustment member, and the height of the height adjusting device can be adjusted stepwise, one of the two opposing surfaces in the first set of surfaces comprising one or more aligned supporting projections. These projections can cooperate selectively and tiltably with one or more recesses in a row of recesses in the second surface of the first set of surfaces. The depth of the recesses in said row of recesses varies stepwise. The surfaces of the second set of surfaces are provided with cooperating secondary projections and secondary recesses. The line on which the secondary projections are positioned forms an angle of substantially 90.degree. with the line on which the supporting projections are positioned.
