Bearing Assembly TRIZ Cases
- Plain Bearing Encoder Integration via Patterned Conductive Coatings
Patterned conductive coatings on plain bearing surfaces form variable circuits to detect relative positional movement between inner and outer components.
- Vehicle Chassis Angle Measurement Sensor Mounting
Control arm mounts sensor at pivot axis to eliminate holding means and protect against environmental damage.
- Rotation Sensor Unit Coaxial Encoder Positioning
A rotation sensor unit positions an encoder coaxially with a shaft using a non-magnetic holder fitted to the bearing inner race.
- Bearing Conductive Shunt Ring for Electrical Current Diversion
Conductive shunt ring with carbon fiber fingers grounds stray electrical current in rolling element bearings.
- Vehicle Cable Adjuster with Rotating Sleeve Mechanism
Nested rotating sleeves adjust cable tension through threaded engagement, reducing manufacturing complexity and assembly steps.
- Axial Mounting Retaining Member for Compact Image Forming Apparatus
Radial expansion of elastic claws allows axial shaft mounting, eliminating radial clearance needs and preventing bearing grease leakage.
- Hand-held Power Tool Rear Bearing Inversion
Replacing the movable rear bearing with a fixed unit reduces front bearing size and improves electromagnetic compatibility in hand-held power tools.
- Pivot Lock Toolbox Mounting System for Truck Bed
A pivot lock connects a toolbox support plate to a truck bed mounting plate, enabling secure swinging movement without detachment.
- Rolling Bearing Lubrication via Tapered Cage Surface
Tapered inner cage surfaces utilize centrifugal force to direct lubricating oil inward, preventing wastage and eliminating complex external piping.
- Hinge Structure With Torsion Hooks For Stable Rotation
Three torsion hooks press a pivoting base to prevent pulling out during rotation, resolving the trade-off between stability and device thickness.
- Strut Bearing Assembly Hot Melt Coupling for Vehicle Suspension
Hot melt molding bonds the insulator and first case via a coupling unit, preventing misalignment failures common in press-fitted vehicle strut bearings.
- Gas-Cooled Foil Journal Bearing for High-Speed Micro-Machining
A gas-cooled foil journal bearing supports high-speed rotation using aerodynamic pressure to minimize friction and thermal expansion.
- Bearing Cage Inner Surface Radius Variation for Grease Leakage Prevention
A ring-shaped bearing cage uses a variable inner radius to prevent grease accumulation in pockets during rotation.
- Fluid-Actuated Rotary Drive Self-Retaining Bearing Assembly
Standard roller bearings with clamping rings eliminate special grinding and threaded bores, reducing production costs for fluid-actuated rotary drives.
- Radial Foil Bearing Mechanical Engagement Fixing
A radial foil bearing uses engagement notches and protruding pieces to mechanically fix the back foil without welding.
- Woodworking Tool Spindle Temperature Monitoring
Embedded temperature sensors in a woodworking tool spindle detect pivot bearing heat, preventing damage and reducing unplanned downtime.
