    摘要: An adapter for connecting stationary portions of two housing that are connected via a rotatable shaft. The adapter includes a hollow body that extends from a first axial end to a second axial end. A first fastening feature is arranged proximate the first axial end and a second fastening feature is arranged proximate a second axial end. The hollow body has an interior area that extends from a first lateral opening that is located proximate the first axial end to a second lateral opening that is located proximate the second axial end. One or more longitudinal openings are located between the first axial end and the second axial end. The one or more longitudinal openings are configured to access the interior area.

    摘要: A shaft guard for a machine includes a base that has a mounting segment configured to be secured to a stationary part of the machine and a longitudinal segment that extends outwardly from the mounting segment and terminates at a distal end thereof. The longitudinal segment has first non-helical threads on a portion thereof. The shaft guard includes a shaft cover that extends longitudinally from a connection end to a free end thereof. The shaft cover has a second non-helical threads on a portion thereof. One or more of the first non-helical threads engage respective ones of the second non-helical threads to secure the shaft cover to the base.

    摘要: A coupling includes first and second annular flanges in spaced relation across a gap. At least one resilient element is disposed in the gap in abutting relation to the first and second annular flanges. A first plurality of fasteners extends from the first annular flange, through the at least one resilient element, to the second annular flange, and a second plurality of fasteners extends from the second annular flange, through the at least one resilient element, to the first annular flange. Fasteners in the first plurality of fasteners is disposed in alternating fashion with fasteners in the second plurality of fasteners.

    摘要: An automatic lubricator for lubricating an object comprises a housing with a coupling section configured to couple with a lubricant container containing a lubricant. The lubricant container comprises a rotatable shaft with a piston to dispense the lubricant from an output of the lubricant container. The lubricator further comprises an electric motor configured to drive the rotatable shaft of the lubricant container during at least one lubrication action, such that at least a part of the lubricant is dispensable from the lubricant container during the at least one lubrication action, and a control circuitry for controlling the electric motor. The control circuitry is configured to determine a back electromotive force (BEMF) generated by the electric motor during at least a part of the at least one lubrication action, and to determine, based on the determined BEMF, at least one lubrication parameter indicative of the at least one lubrication action.

    摘要: A bearing cover assembly can be assembled to a bearing housing in which a rolling element bearing is accommodated. The bearing housing assembly includes an annular adapter and an end cap that can be mated together. The annular adapter can have a tapered inner annular surface and can be inserted into the housing bore of the bearing housing. The end cap can have a corresponding outer tapered surface. When the end cap is inserted into the adapter hole defined by the annular adapter, the sliding contact between the tapered inner annular surface and the outer surface radially expands the annular adapter inside the housing bore creating a positive engagement retaining the bearing cover assembly to the bearing housing.
