Abstract: A clamp yoke formed from a flat piece of metal. The flat piece being approximately T-shaped which is bent into the clamp yoke. The top portion of the T forming the yoke ears and the vertical portion forming two approximately parallel shaft portions. The yoke ears each having a bearing bore therein and the shaft portions each having a shaft receiving bore therein. The clamp yoke can be provided with a bolt 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.

Abstract: A fluid seal (16) is joined to a seal carrier (14), and a magnetoresponsive sensor (18) is coupled to a carrier to sense the polarities of a magnet (24) borne on a rotatable shaft (22). The seal carrier (14), with the incorporated sensor (18), is arranged about the shaft, and leads (20) from the sensor (18) transmit an output signal voltage which corresponds to, or is proportional to the speed of rotation of the shaft. Depending upon the type of sensor employed, the signal voltage will be of repeatedly changing amplitude (i.e., pulsed or sine wave), or of given amplitude, in which the signal goes from zero to the given amplitude, to zero cyclically, or the sine wave amplitude/voltage increases with increasing speed, or pulse widths which diminish with speed acceleration.

Abstract: Two bearing cups (36) are rigidly mounted on side portions of a rocker arm (10) and extend over respective arms (28, 30) of a bearing support member (12). Rolling members (34) within an annulus formed between the bearing cups and the bearing support member permit the rocker arm to oscillate rotatably with respect to the bearing support member. Each bearing cup has a stepped bottom surface with a first bottom portion (38) engageable with ends of the rolling members to limit axial movement of the rolling members and a second bottom portion (40), offset axially with respect to the first bottom portion, engageable with stop surfaces (44) to limit axial movement of the rocker arm with respect to the support member. A bearing assembly for mounting within a rocker arm is also disclosed.

Abstract: A plastic part is molded of a plastic with an inner body of crystalline plastic and an outer surface layer of an amorphous plastic. The amorphous surface layer withstands friction loading at least during an initial break-in period. In one embodiment, the amorphous surface is formed by using a higher plastic melt temperature and/or a lower mold temperature than normal. In another embodiment, an intermediate part is molded as a crystalline intermediate part, and a surface layer is heated and quenched to form the amorphous surface layer on the final part. A bearing cage is molded by injecting the plastic melt at a single point intermediate the ends of a single bar of the bearing cage to permit formation of the desired amorphous layer on rails connected to the ends of the bars.

Abstract: A bearing blank is cast or machined of iron to a configuration near a final shape of a desired bearing element (10). A first surface (12) of the bearing blank, corresponding to a sliding surface of the desired bearing element, is remelted while other portions of the bearing blank remain in a solid state. The remelted first surface (18) is quenched such that fine particles of iron carbide precipitate in a remelted zone having an increased hardness and a decreased presence of graphite particles. A bearing element having a core portion composed of iron and an integral first surface portion including a precipitate of fin iron carbide particles, and having greater hardness and lesser incidence of graphite particles than the core portion, is also described.
