摘要:
A seal ring for a seal assembly includes a body and a seal flange. The body is generally cylindrical, extending along a longitudinal axis between a load end and a seal end. The seal flange is disposed adjacent the seal end of the body, projecting radially in a circumscribing manner from the body. The seal flange includes a sealing face having a sealing band for sealing contact with a mating seal ring. A layer of coating composition formulated to help increase the corrosion resistance of the seal ring is applied to at least the body. A mask is applied to the seal ring to cover at least a portion of the seal ring having the layer of coating composition applied thereto such that the sealing band remains exposed. The sealing band is polished by an isotropic finishing process. The mask is removed after the sealing band is isotropically polished.

A bearing system includes a sleeve bearing supported on a shaft and a gear supported on the sleeve bearing. The shaft has an outer diameter shaft surface, the sleeve bearing has an inner diameter bearing surface and an outer diameter bearing surface, and the gear has a gear bore surface. At least one of the outer diameter shaft surface, the inner diameter bearing surface, the outer diameter bearing surface, and the gear bore surface includes an isotropic surface finish and a hard thin film over the isotropic surface finish. During a break-in period of operation of the bearing system, the hard thin film over the isotropic surface finish breaks in a counter surface of the bearing system to extend a hydrodynamic lubrication period of operation of the bearing system.

During the break-in period of track assembly components, galling can occur between the components during use. The components include a pin that is received within a bushing and alternatively a sleeve bearing between the pin and the bushing depending on the load. A method to prevent or reduce galling includes applying a coating of zinc phosphate and a low-friction layer on top of the zinc phosphate. The low-friction coating can be made of WS2 (Tungsten Disulphide), BN (Boron Nitride), MoS2 (Molybdenum disulfide) or PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) and deposited during a mechanical treatment.

A fuel injector system includes an injector body having a proximal end and a distal end, the injector body defining a nozzle having an outlet. The injector system includes a spill valve fluidly connected to the outlet and having a spill valve member movable between an open position and a closed position. The injector system includes a control valve including a control valve member movable between an open position and a closed position. The injector system includes a check valve fluidly connected to the outlet, the control valve including a check valve needle movable between an open position and a closed position. The injector system also includes an electrical monitoring circuit configured to output a signal indicative of at least one of the open position or the closed position of the spill valve member.
摘要:
A valve assembly in an internal combustion engine fuel system includes a valve member movable within a valve body to contact a valve seat and block fluid communication between first and second passages. The valve seat and valve member each include a multi-layered coating having a harder metal nitride base layer and a softer metal nitride outer layer. The base layer is relatively incompliant to impacts between the valve member and the valve seat, and the outer layer is relatively compliant to the impacts and thereby deformable. Related methodology is disclosed.

A transmission system includes a clutch control valve assembly having an armature for adjusting a valve, rested upon metallic slide bearings under the force of gravity. The armature includes a core material that is metallic and magnetically soft, an outer thin-film coating that is non-metallic, and a backing substrate material for supporting the outer thin-filmed coating interposed the core material and the outer thin-film coating. The backing substrate material may be case hardened material derived from the core material, such as ferritic nitrocarburized (FNC) iron. The outer thin film coating may be a diamond-like carbon (DLC) material.
