Abstract:
A profiled nut (1) of a screw drive includes a sleeve (3) produced from sheet steel, has a non-cuttingly formed rolling profile (4) on the inner circumference for rolling contact with rolling bodies and is hardened in a heat treatment method at least in the region of the rolling profile (4). An inner lateral surface of the sleeve (3) having the rolling profile (4) is hardened and has a higher Rockwell hardness. An outer lateral surface of the sleeve (3) is designed such that it can be welded and has a lower Rockwell hardness.
Abstract:
The disclosure relates to a threaded nut of a ball screw drive. The threaded nut includes an inner sleeve made of sheet metal and an outer sleeve made of sheet metal. The inner and outer sleeves are nested axially in one another to form a nut sleeve. A thread of the nut sleeve is helically wound about a longitudinal axis of the threaded nut and forms a ball groove on the inner circumference of the inner sleeve. The outer sleeve is provided along the thread with at least one outer hole into which material of the inner sleeve is molded.
Abstract:
An apparatus to produce a self-piercing and clinch nut includes a first forging die assembly, a second forging die assembly, a third forging die assembly, a transfer mechanism, and a controller. The first forging die assembly subjects a blank to first processing. The second forging die assembly is adjacent to the first forging die assembly, and subjects the blank, which has undergone the first processing in the first forging die assembly, to second processing. The third forging die assembly is adjacent to the second forging die assembly, and subjects the blank, which has undergone the second processing in the second forging die assembly, to third processing. The transfer mechanism transfers the blank between two adjacent forging die assemblies among the first to third forging die assemblies. The controller controls operations of the first to third forging die assemblies and the transfer mechanism.
Abstract:
A nut configured to threadably engage an external thread of a bolt is provided. The nut generally comprises an upper portion that defines a first thread, a lower portion that defines a second thread, and a sidewall portion that connects the upper portion and the lower portion. The upper portion may be separated from the lower portion by a gap, and the sidewall portion may include a first sidewall spaced apart from a second sidewall.
Abstract:
A self-drilling expansion fastener is integrally formed of a sheet metal material for locking two or more sheet workpieces together, and includes an expansion structure and a drill structure. The expansion structure has a plurality of internal threads and force-distributing bars. The drill structure has a chip guard for covering a head of the expansion structure, and a drill forward projected from the chip guar for self-drilling a hole. When an externally threaded element is screwed into the expansion structure to mesh with the internal threads, the force-distributing bars are brought to expand outward and are finally compressed into a folded state to thereby tightly lock the sheet workpieces to one another. A method of forming the self-drilling expansion fastener is also disclosed.
Abstract:
An Archimedean screw comprising a spiral helix. The Archimedean screw is characterized in that it further comprises a central element plastically twisted like a helix about a central symmetry axis. The spiral helix, in turn, is wound about the central element. Furthermore, the central element is the only supporting element of itself and of said spiral helix.
Abstract:
An electromechanical brake booster includes a hollow spindle and a hollow screw. Courses of thread are produced by deformation from metal and extrusion-coating them together with tubular supporting structures made of plastic. The hollow spindle and the hollow screw are produced as composite components.
Abstract:
A thread-producing nut for a screwed connection, wherein a core hole which is provided with thread turns is designed for positively locking, frictionally locking and releasable connection to an, in particular, cylindrical bolt or pin, in such a way that the thread turns have completely formed thread turns in certain sections when viewed in the circumferential direction and that free spaces with thread turns which are formed incompletely in terms of their height are provided between the completely formed sections of the thread turns. Furthermore, a blank for manufacturing the nut and a screwed connection composed of such a nut and a bolt are disclosed herein.
Abstract:
The invention is directed to a method for caulking a caulking member such as a caulking nut or a caulking bolt to a metal plate. The metal plate is arranged on a die having a caulking protrusion formed on an end surface thereof, the caulking member is arranged on the metal plate while a position of a caulking recess portion of the caulking member is aligned with the caulking protrusion, and a punch is brought closer to the die so that the caulking member is pressed against the metal plate. While an upper surface of the metal plate in a position opposite to the caulking recess portion is restricted by a downward protruding portion of the punch or by the caulking member, the metal plate is plastically fluidized into the caulking recess portion, so that the caulking member is caulked without boring a hole in the metal plate.
