Abstract: A thermally sprayed coating is deposited onto a cylindrical internal surface of a base member after a rough surface has been formed on the cylindrical internal surface. The tapered surface is configured such that the internal diameter of the axial end portion is larger than the internal diameter of the remaining portions of the cylinder bore internal surface. After the tapered surface is formed, the thermally sprayed coating is honed. This method prevents exfoliation of a thermally sprayed coating at an end portion of a cylindrical internal surface in a situation where honing or another mechanical finishing process is applied to the thermally sprayed coating after the coating is formed on the cylindrical internal surface.

Abstract: A lift truck includes a magneto-rheological damper coupled between the base frame and a frame holding a vertically sprung suspended wheel. The damper is electrically connected to a vehicle control system, which increases and decreases the damping force as a function of at least one of a weight of a load on the forks of the lift truck, a height of the mast of the lift truck, and a speed of the lift truck. As the weight of the load, height of the mast and speed of the vehicle increase, the damping force is increased. As the weight of the load, height of the mast, and speed of the vehicle decrease, the damping force is decreased. When the damper is activated to increase the damping force, the truck can maintain a four point stance, providing a larger footprint for the center of gravity, thereby limiting truck sway or oscillation. When the damper is not active, or the damping force is increased, as, for example, during unloaded operation, the suspension of the truck is relatively soft, providing a smoother ride, thereby increasing operator comfort and productivity.

Abstract: An electric component (2a) is mounted on a circuit board (1), and a pre-foamed heat radiating member (4) is applied on the electric component. The circuit board is inserted into a chassis (5) having a box shape with an opening in one side toward an opposite side of the opening. A thickness of the pre-foamed heat radiating member is less than a distance between a front surface of the electric component and an inner surface of the chassis. Thus, the pre-foamed heat radiating member is not removed by scraping when the circuit board is inserted into the chassis. Then, the pre-foamed heat radiating member is heated and expands until the radiating member reaches the chassis, and a heat radiating path (4) between the electric component and the chassis is provided. Therefore, the heat radiating property of the electric component can be increased.
