A first mechanical unit and a second mechanical unit, each of which has bodies of rotation arranged so as to be rotatable independently from one another, are assembled together with engagement between their bodies of rotation. After first concentric engaging members of a first engaging mechanism, rotatable independently from one another, are engaged with the bodies of rotation of the first mechanical unit, respectively, second concentric engaging members of a second engaging mechanism, rotatable independently from one another, are integrated with the first concentric engaging members together in rotational angular phase. Then, the second concentric engaging members are engaged with the second bodies of rotation of the first mechanical unit, respectively, so as to adjust the bodies of rotation of the first and second mechanical units in rotational angular phase.
A phase adjusting apparatus for adjusting rotational angular phases between a plurality of first bodies of rotation of a first mechanical unit, said first bodies of rotation being concentrically arranged so as to be rotatable independently from one another, and a plurality of second bodies of rotation of a second mechanical unit, said second bodies of rotation being concentrically arranged so as to be rotatable independently from one another, said second mechanical unit adapted to be assembled to the first mechanical unit through engagement between said first and second bodies of rotation, said phase adjusting apparatus comprising:
A phase adjusting apparatus for adjusting rotational angular phases between a plurality of first splined bodies of rotation of a first mechanical unit, said first splined bodies of rotation being concentrically arranged so as to be rotatable independently from one another, and a plurality of second splined bodies of rotation of a second mechanical unit, said second bodies of rotation being concentrically arranged so as to be rotatable independently from one another, said second mechanical unit adapted to be assembled to the first mechanical unit through spline engagement between said first and second splined bodies of rotation, said phase adjusting apparatus comprising:
A method of adjusting phases between a plurality of first bodies of rotation of a first mechanical unit and an identical number of second bodies of rotation of a second mechanical unit comprising the steps of:
