Pressure-activated seals expand radially within the valve receiving bore to maintain contact and prevent leakage under high hydraulic pressures.
A woven fibrous structure uses a three-dimensional core and satin skin weave.
Integrally formed resin housing and support bar reduce ball joint weight without compromising strength at the connecting portion.
Axial rod end shield prevents jamming in steering mechanisms, avoiding uncommanded braking.
Spreading rovings before pultrusion resolves uneven distribution and high production costs.
A self-aligning mud pump crosshead utilizes five degrees of freedom to convert crankshaft rotation into reciprocating motion.
Segmented base and additional fiber layers with inserted pins enhance yoke cohesion, resisting delamination under multidirectional stresses.
A servo transmission mechanism uses a four-bar linkage with rotatable connecting rods to transmit motion between housings.
Polygonal and labyrinth profiles on plastic shaft extensions increase torsional strength while ensuring effective sealing against moisture ingress.
Segmented indexing device prevents rotational movement in variable-length connecting rods while reducing weight and complexity.
A ball and socket connecting rod replaces wrist pins in oil-less pneumatic motors to enable multiplane pendulum movement.
A heat engine transmission uses a regenerator to preheat oxidant and a condenser to remove water vapor from combustion products.
A connecting rod structure uses a sliding first and second rod locked by an intermediary element to enable length adjustment.
Double shear bond joints attach metal end fittings to composite tubes, reducing residual stresses from thermal expansion mismatch.
