The invention discloses a hinge structure, which is suitable for electronic devices such as the notebook computer comprising two components. The invention comprises a support, a rotation axis, two movable friction plates, two fixed wear plates, an elastic component and a locking firmware. One movable friction plate and one fixed wear plate are arranged at one side of the support and the other movable friction plate and the other fixed wear plate are arranged at the other side of the support. In addition, each movable friction plate is arranged closely to the corresponding fixed wear plate. The elastic component is sheathed on a rotation axis to provide axial force. The movable friction plates are sheathed on the rotation axis and can not rotate. The support and the fixed wear plates are sheathed on the rotation axis rotatablely. The locking firmware is arranged at one end of the rotation axis to prevent the support, the fixed wear plates, the movable friction plates and the elastic component from dropping off the rotation axis. One movable friction plate and one fixed wear plate are respectively arranged at the two sides of the support of the hinge structure; thereby double-faced friction is formed at the two sides of the support, which can increase friction torque effectively.

The suspension bump stop device comprises a rolling bearing (44) that forms an axial bump stop, equipped with an upper ring (46), with a lower ring (48) and with a plurality of rolling elements positioned between the rings, the upper and lower rings being supported respectively by an upper cup (40) and a lower cup (42), the lower cup forming a bearing means for a suspension spring (18), at least one sealing lip being provided on one of the cups so that it bears against a bearing surface portion of the other cup. The bearing surface portion is substantially cylindrical, the sealing lip being directed downwards away from the rolling bearing and bearing with radial interference against the said surface portion, the said substantially cylindrical surface portion being connected towards the top to a shoulder against which the lip can bear if the two cups become radially eccentric relative to one another.

A ball joint for a vehicle, with a ball pin that has a joint ball, a joint housing that encloses the joint ball and is provided with a pin opening, in which the joint ball of the ball pin is fitted and able to move. The ball pin extends out of the joint housing through the pin opening. An actuator can press a pressure element, in an axial direction, against the joint housing in such a manner that pressure can be exerted by the joint housing and the pressure element onto the joint ball. The actuator acts upon a spring which acts upon the pressure element. The length of the spring can be measured by a displacement sensor.

The first leaf set includes a first sleeve with a positioning groove concavely formed and disposed along an axial direction of the first sleeve. The plural friction damping pieces are fitted in the first sleeve and configured to form at least one adjustable sleeve set. Each of the plural damping pieces includes a positioning part engaged with the positioning pin accommodated in the positioning groove. The shaft is fixed to the second leaf set. The first leaf set is pivotally connected with the second leaf set via the shaft and the plural friction damping pieces, so that the first leaf set and the second leaf set are rotatable and positioned relative to each other.

A steering gear having a gearwheel (2), having a pinion (3) which meshes with said gearwheel and having a pinion shaft which comprises the pinion (3) and which is mounted so as to be pivotable about a pivot axis (6) perpendicular to the longitudinal axis (16) of the pinion shaft is characterized in that the radial spacing between the pivot axis (6) and the location of toothed engagement (15) between the gearwheel (2) and pinion is smaller than the core radius of the pinion (3).

A bearing race encapsulation apparatus, which has a spring assembly integrated into a hearing that allows the hearing to compensate for varying expansions and contractions caused by differences in temperature. The bearing race encapsulation apparatus includes an outer bearing ring with an end face and an outer face with a indent formed in the outer face. An encapsulation ring, which has a retention element that is snapped into the indent of the outer bearing ring, a first segment that extends axially outwardly from the retention element, and a second segment that extends radially inwardly from the first segment. A spring is arranged axially between the second segment of the encapsulation ring and the outer bearing ring to compensate for the expansion and contraction.

A oneway clutch assembly comprises an outer race and an inner race, torque transmitting members disposed between the outer race and the inner race, a biasing spring for biasing the torque transmitting members, side plates disposed on the both sides of the torque transmitting members in the axial direction thereof, and detachment preventing means for restricting movements of the torque transmitting members, the biasing spring, and the side plates in the axial direction, and being elastically engaged with the outer race or the inner race. One of the side plates is provided with an engagement projection extended in the axial direction and the engagement projection is fitted in the detachment preventing means.

The invention provides an oil lubricating roll-slide bearing with an elastic roller. The roll-slide bearing consists of an outer ring (1), elastic cylindrical rollers (2), slide blocks (3) and an inner ring (4), wherein the elastic cylindrical roller (2) and the slide block (3) are positioned in a chute between the outer ring (1) and the inner ring (4); the number of the elastic cylindrical rollers (2) equals to that of the slide blocks (3), and the elastic cylindrical rollers (2) and the slide blocks (3) are distributed at intervals; the diameter of the elastic cylindrical roller (2) is more than the thickness of the slide block (3) in the radial direction of the bearing, and the axial length of the elastic cylindrical roller (2) is less than the length of the slide block (3) in the axial direction of the bearing; the elastic cylindrical roller has a certain pre-compression amount in the diameter direction, trace clearances are reserved between the slide blocks (3) and the inner ring (1) and between the slide blocks (3) and the outer ring (4), and the elastic cylindrical rollers (2) are kept to be contacted with the slide blocks (3). The oil lubricating roll-slide bearing is used for reducing the applied stress on the inner and outer rings and the elastic cylindrical roller, has the characteristics of storing and releasing energy and maintaining rolling, and has small abrasion and long service life compared with those of a roll-slide bearing with a corresponding size.

A thermal compensation element which has an inner ring, an outer ring, and a washer. The washer is arranged within the inner ring and the outer ring is mounted over the inner ring, encapsulating the washer, which can be a split wave spring. The inner ring and the outer ring each have retention features to ensure they are retained relative to each other. The thermal compensation, which is positioned between a housing or a shaft, can account for variations in loading and / or temperature that may occur to a bearing and a shaft system when the shaft and an associated component are made of different materials and have different coefficients of thermal expansion by ensuring a proper axial preload is maintained on the bearing.

In order to transmit a torque from a hub 5 (rotating body) integrally formed together with a pulley 4 to, for example, a sleeve 6 inserted under pressure into a rotating shaft 1 of a refrigerant compressor 2, end surfaces 5e and 6a, which act as a bearing surface, are brought into frictional contact with each other. An axial pressing force is generated by the engagement of screws 1a and 5d of the rotating shaft 1 and the hub 5. An annular cut-out part 7, etc., is provided to form an annular space 10 in a part of the bearing surface around the rotating shaft 1. Thereby, the equivalent diameter of the bearing surface is increased, a slip is more unlikely to occur on the bearing surface, and it is therefore no longer necessary to apply an excessive pressing force to obtain a large friction torque.
