Abstract:
A bearing assembly (100) for supporting a steering shaft within a steering column tube including an outer bearing ring (120) defining an outer raceway (122), an inner bearing ring (130) defining an inner raceway (132), a plurality of roller elements (154) disposed between the inner raceway and the outer raceway, a support cone (160) defining an inner face and an outer surface, the support cone being disposed radially inwardly of, and in contact with, the inner bearing ring, and a biasing element (180) disposed adjacent the inner surface of the support cone. The biasing element exerts force radially-outwardly against the inner surface of the support cone.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a speed reducer comprising a shaft (11) extending along a longitudinal axis, two rolling bearings (16, 17) arranged around the shaft (11), the two rolling bearings (16, 17) each comprising a radially outer ring (19), a radially inner ring (18) and rolling elements (20) arranged between the radially outer and inner rings (19, 18), characterized in that it comprises a preload system positioned in the space between the two rolling bearings (16, 17), this preload system comprising: - two spacer elements (40) each one resting against one of the rings (18; 19) of the rolling bearings (16, 17), - at least one elastically deformable element (41) interposed between the two spacing elements (40), and configured to be able to occupy a preloaded first state and an least partially relaxed second state, the preload system being arranged in such a way that the transition of the said at least one elastically deformable element (41) from the first state to the second state causes a unidirectional rotational movement of each spacer element (40) with respect to the other so as to use a wedge effect to generate preload in the rolling bearings (16, 17).
Abstract:
A method can include providing a turbocharger housing that includes a bore; providing a spacer; providing a shaft and wheel assembly with a first rolling element bearing assembly seated on a first portion of a shaft of the shaft and wheel assembly; providing a second rolling element bearing assembly; interference-fitting the spacer into the bore; inserting a free end of the shaft into the bore and through the spacer; and inserting the second rolling element bearing assembly into the bore and seating the second rolling element bearing assembly on a second portion of the shaft such that the spacer is disposed intermediate the first portion of the shaft and the second portion of the shaft.
Abstract:
A hydraulic pump having a rotary shaft rotatably supported with respect to a casing, the hydraulic pump including: a bearing part provided to one end side and the other end side of the rotary shaft; and a first annular member provided around the rotary shaft on at least one side of the one end side and the other end side of the rotary shaft. The bearing part on the one side has a support part which rotatably supports the rotary shaft, and a preload applying member which applies a preload in the axial direction to the support part. The first annular member is interposed between the bearing part of the one side and a receiving part of the rotary shaft in the axial direction, and an inner diameter of the first annular member is larger than a diameter of the rotary shaft.
Abstract:
The present invention is provided with: a rolling bearing (16) for rotatably supporting a rotating shaft (6); a housing (17) for externally covering the rolling bearing (16) in the radial direction of the rotating shaft (6); a damping member (18) disposed inside the housing (17) in the radial direction of the rotating shaft (6) with a gap (Si) therebetween and provided so as to be incapable of being displaced relative to an outer ring (21) in the radial direction and circumferential direction of the rotating shaft (6); and a damper (19) provided between the housing (17) and the damping member (18) to support the damping member (18) so that the damping member (18) can be displaced relative to the housing (17) in the axial direction of the rotating shaft (6), the damper (19) absorbing the displacement of the damping member (18) in the radial direction of the rotating shaft (6).
Abstract:
A cooling passage (40) through which a cooling medium can flow is formed between the inner peripheral surface of a rear housing (33), and the outer peripheral surface of a bearing sleeve (16) having a free-side bearing inserted therein. The cooling passage (40) is formed in the outer peripheral surface of the bearing sleeve (16), and is provided with: a first annular groove (41A) provided to one-end side of the sleeve in the axial direction; a second annular groove (41B) provided to another-end side of the sleeve in the axial direction; and a single helical groove (47) which has one end thereof connected to the first annular groove, and another end thereof connected to the second annular groove. The cooling medium is supplied to the first annular groove, flows through the cooling passage, and is discharged from the second annular groove.
Abstract:
A bearing system (39) for a gas turbine engine (20) includes an outer housing (66) and a first ball bearing assembly (60) disposed radially inward from the outer housing (66) relative a center axis of the outer housing (66). The bearing system (39) also includes a second ball bearing assembly (62) disposed radially inward from the outer housing (66) and positioned axially aft of the first ball bearing assembly (60). The bearing system (39) also includes a resilient member (68) that is connected to the outer housing (66) and compressed against at least one of a first outer race (82) of the first ball bearing assembly (60) and a second outer race (88) of the second ball bearing assembly (62) in an axial direction parallel to the center axis.
