A method for producing a sliding coupling, w hich comprises injecting a casting material comprising the following components (A) and (B) into a clearance between a bearing and a shaft fitted in and rotatably or reciprocatively supported by the bearing, wherein a primer is preliminarily applied to either the shaft or the bearing and a releasing agent is preliminarily applied to the other; followed by polymerization and curing to form a resin lining on the surface of the shaft or the bearing:

Method for producing a sliding coupling by a monomer casting method

A thread rolling apparatus has thread rolling dies mounted respectively on a pair of sliding mechanisms which are vertically movably driven by respective actuators, and a support disposed between the thread rolling dies for rotatably supporting a workpiece. The sliding mechanisms and the support are interconnected by a rack and pinion mechanism for imparting a forced rotational drive force to the workpiece in synchronism with the movement of the sliders. The lead angle of the thread rolling dies is set to match the forced rolling diameter of the workpiece. By adjusting the distance between the thread rolling dies in matching relation to the workpiece diameter before threading, the thread rolling apparatus can form different screws having equal pitches and different nominal diameters.

Thread rolling apparatus

Serration rolling tools and thread rolling tools each having groups of leading teeth, finishing teeth and disengaging teeth are provided, a lead angle of the thread rolling tool being set in accordance with the rolling diameter of the serration section in a work piece. The thread rolling tool and serration rolling tool are arranged parallel and integrally. First a rolling operation for forming serrations is started by the serration rolling tools, a rolling operation for forming threads being started by the thread rolling tools in the course of the rolling operation by the group of the leading teeth of the serration rolling tools. A rolling operation for finishing the threads is completed in the latter half of the rolling operation by the group of the finishing teeth for the serrations. The difference in rolling diameters is absorbed by the slide of the aforesaid thread rolling tools on a shaft member (work piece), thus enabling the simultaneous formation of serrations and threads in a short rolling stroke.

Rolling method and rolling tools

A forced rotational drive force is imparted to a workpiece in synchronism with the movement of a pair of thread rolling dies, the thread rolling dies having a lead angle selected to match the forced rolling diameter of the workpiece, for thereby forming screw threads on the workpiece. These thread rolling dies are moved toward each other to form screw threads on a workpiece. By adjusting the distance between the thread rolling dies to match the workpiece diameter before threading, there can be produced various screws having equal pitches and different nominal diameters.
