Abstract:
A bearing unit is provided which includes a shaft (51) to support rotatably, radial bearing (55) to support the shaft (51) circumferentially, a thrust bearing (66) to support the shaft (51) in the direction of thrusting, and a housing (56) having the radial bearing (55) and thrust bearing (66) disposed therein and in which a viscous fluid (57) is filled. The housing (56) has a sealed structure except for a shaft insertion hole (65) formed therein and through which the shaft 51 is introduced. Between the outer surface of the shaft (51) and the inner surface of the shaft insertion hole (65), there is defined a gap (69) having a sufficient width to prevent the viscous fluid (57) filled in the housing (56) from leaking out of the latter. The housing (56) is formed as a one-piece structure by molding a synthetic resin.
Abstract:
A bearing sleeve 8 is press-fitted into a housing 7, and an axial portion 2a of an axial member 2 is inserted into the inner peripheral surface 8a of the bearing sleeve 8, and then a thrust member 10 is attached to the lower end of the inner peripheral surface 7c of the housing 7 and positioned in a predetermined position to fix it by ultrasonic welding. The lower end of the housing 7 is pressed against the outer peripheral surface of the thrust member 10 with applying ultrasonic vibration, to fix the melting junction surface of the housing 7 on the thrust member 10.
Abstract:
A bearing for the blade assembly of the cooling fan, the bearing is made of the plastic steel material having an integrally formed cylindrical hollow body and outward extended large diameter seat. The seat bottom has a recess with screw thread cut along the inside wall. The bottom recess will receive a powerful magnet and a shield cap to cover. The hollow cylindrical body is a long accommodating cavity and extends upward to form a plurality of claws, each claw has a project point. The rotor shaft of the blade assembly will enter the accommodating cavity. The rotor shaft has a round groove to hold the project points of the claws in place. The rotor shaft is further attracted by the power magnet in the bottom recess so the rotor shaft is always kept along vertical center line, rotates in balance to achieve a stable floating rotation.
Abstract:
A motor of this invention is provided with a sleeve-type bearing impregnated with oil for supporting a rotor assembly including a shaft and a rotor member. A lower face of the rotor is provided with at least two peripheral wall portions, an inner peripheral wall portion and an outer peripheral wall portion, which surround the shaft with a gap therebetween in a radial direction. The peripheral wall portions are accommodated in an annular recessed portion so as to surround an open space over a sleeve constituted the sleeve-type bearing and has a lower top of the most inner part. The lower end of the inner peripheral wall portion is located lower than the lower end of the outer peripheral wall portion, and the lower end of the outer peripheral wall portion is located lower than the lower top of the annular recessed portion.
Abstract:
In the present invention, a bearing unit comprises a shaft, a radial bearing for supporting a peripheral rotation direction of the shaft, a thrust bearing for supporting one end of the shaft in a thrust direction, a housing having the radial bearing and the thrust bearing, both arranged therein, and being formed in a structure being sealed except for a shaft insertion hole, through which the shaft is inserted, and a viscous fluid to be filled in the housing, and the housing is provided with a locking portion for preventing shaft slip-out on an inner surface side thereof, which is a peripheral portion of the shaft insertion hole, in a state of abutting a part of the shaft. This arrangement makes it possible to reduce the length of the bearing unit in its shaft direction and to enhance versatility and selectivity of the bearing unit.
Abstract:
A bearing unit comprises a shaft, a radial bearing for supporting the shaft in a peripheral rotation direction of the shaft, a thrust bearing supporting an end of the shaft in a thrust direction of the shaft, a housing made of a molded body of a synthetic resin, inside of which housing the radial bearing and the thrust bearing are arranged, the housing having a sealed configuration except for a shaft insertion hole, through which the shaft is inserted, a slip-out preventing member provided on an end side of the radial bearing at which the thrust bearing is provided, the slip-out preventing member preventing the shaft from slipping out from the radial bearing, and a viscous fluid filled in the housing. The slip-out preventing member is made of a material having a thermal deformation temperature higher than a temperature applied to the slip-out preventing member upon molding of the housing.
Abstract:
The material of the wall inside a hole in a housing is squeezed toward the center of the using a staking tool with a diameter larger than that of the hole. The material necessary for forming a locking section can be obtained from only a small part of the entire area of the wall of the hole. The amount of material necessary for the entire process is secured and the material is pressed so as to contact with an end face of the outer race using the staking tool, forming the locking section. Accordingly, the locking section provides sufficient strength. Also, since only the small part of the entire area of the wall is necessary as described above, there is no decrease in strength or deformation as to the thin housing.
Abstract:
A race for a bearing, which is mountable to a mount, has an annular bearing surface with a center axis defining an axis of rotation for the bearing and mutually perpendicular radial and transverse directions relative thereto. The race also has a radial wall that is adapted for mounting the race to the mount in a manner such that a bearing transfer load is transferred between the mount and the race in the transverse direction and the race bearing surface maintains its substantially annular shape independently of a load applied to the mount causing distortion of the mount when the race is mounted to the mount and the mount is loaded.
Abstract:
A locking device and its assemblage are provided for confining an object such as a shaft of a motor. The locking device is used to confine the shaft having an end with a recess portion having a defining surface to prevent the shaft from being displaced in an axial direction. The locking device is a geometrically closed-loop body having an opening, and having a flexibility so that the shaft will pass through the opening and the end of the shaft will thus be confined by the locking device while the force disappears. The locking device is free from contact with the recess portion of the shaft when the shaft is spinning. A simple process can be used to assemble and disassemble the locking assemblage.
Abstract:
A drive shaft, which is driven by a drive motor, is held firmly at two points by bearing structures. The bearing structure has a hole in which a bearing member is fit. The bearing member has hole, which is concentric with respect to the hole in which the bearing member is fit. A crimp, which is made of elastic material, having interfering portions that interfere with the bearing member is provided between the bearing member and the hole in the bearing structure in which the bearing member is fit.
