Abstract: A bearing assembly (10) is mounted on an eccentric sleeve (12) having a bore for receiving a rotatable shaft (14). After the bearing assembly (10) is mounted on the eccentric sleeve (12), a counterweight lobe is mounted on the eccentric sleeve, abutting the bearing assembly, to control dynamic balance of the bearing and sleeve assembly and to restrain movement of the bearing assembly along the axis of the bore. The eccentric sleeve and counterweight lobe are keyed together to prevent relative rotation therebetween.

Abstract: A bearing (20) has an inner ring (24) coaxial to and rotatable relative to an outer ring (20). A central bore (36) of the inner ring (24) accommodates a multi-sided shaft in at least two positions that are angularly offset relative to each other. Each position provides a different fit between the inner ring (24) and the shaft. A preferred embodiment has a 12-pointed star-shaped bore defined by the superposition of two hexagons of slightly different scale, to accommodate a hexagonal shaft in either of two positions. The second position provides a tighter fit between the bearing and the shaft without requiring tighter manufacturing tolerances.

Abstract: A target carrier (34) is clamped between a constant velocity joint (16) and a spindle bearing inner race (24) such that an encoded target mounted on the target carrier rotates with a wheel spindle over which the spindle bearing inner race is mounted. A sensor probe (52) is mounted on a steering knuckle (18) within which the constant velocity joint (16) is mounted for the encoded target and for generating a signal indicative of rotation of the wheel spindle. The target carrier may be held by a capturing cup (38) before installation of the constant velocity joint and may serve as a pilot during installation of the constant velocity joint.

Abstract: A camshaft and method of manufacturing thereof wherein the camshaft has a plurality of thick wall sections (16) and a plurality of thin wall sections (18). Axially spaced cams (10) are mounted on a hollow tube (13) about the thick wall sections (16). The thick wall sections (16) are deformed outward to mechanically secure the cams to the hollow tube. The outer diameter of the hollow tube thin wall sections (18) are not deformed when the thick wall sections (16) are deformed.

Abstract: Two shaft sections (10, 12) have a common axis (14) and overlapping end portions (16, 18). Connecting pins (32) on the end portions extend through sleeves (30) on the end portions. A snap ring (40) or similar device is releasably attached to the connecting pins (32) to hold the connecting pins (32) within the sleeves (30) and to release the connecting pins (32) when a predetermined force is applied. Alternatively, a deformable strap (42) holds flanges (20, 22) on the end portions together and releases the flanges (20, 22) when a predetermined force is applied. Also disclosed is a sequential connecting device having a second mechanism to hold the two end portions together after the initial release and to provide a second release when a second predetermined force is applied.

Abstract: A clamp yoke (10) formed from a flat piece of metal. The flat piece (5) being approximately T-shaped which is bent into the clamp yoke. The top portion of the T forming the yoke ears (24) and the vertical portion forming two approximately parallel shaft portions (12, 14). The yoke ears each having a bearing bore (26) therein and the shaft portions each having a shaft receiving bore (20) therein. The clamp yoke can be provided with a bolt (30) having a reduced diameter middle which allows a shaft to be inserted into the shaft receiving bores without removing the bolt. The bolt is then tightened, drawing the larger diameter portion into the center of the clamp yoke where the bolt engages a transversely relieved portion on the shaft to axially retain the shaft.
