Abstract:
The invention relates to a bearing assembly providing a bearing having a first ring with a hole, two front edges and an outer cylindrical surface, and a second ring having a hole, two front edges and an outer cylindrical surface, the first and second rings being relatively in relative rotation about a central axis. At least one row of rolling elements is housed in a bearing chamber formed between an outer cylindrical surface and a hole of the rings. The assembly is configured to be mounted in a housing. The assembly also includes at least one envelope mounted on one of the rings of the bearing, such that a dimensional difference between the housing and the bearing is compensated by the envelope.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a drive-train portion for a vehicle, including a gearbox, a connection shaft, at least one joint, a further connecting shaft, and a shaft bearing assembly for the connecting shaft, wherein the shaft bearing assembly is arranged in a stationary manner with respect to the gearbox, wherein the connection shaft extends from the gearbox to the joint and is supported in the shaft bearing assembly, wherein the shaft bearing assembly includes a housing, in which a rolling-element bearing can be arranged, wherein the housing includes a first flange part and a second flange part. The first and second flange parts can be connected to each other, wherein the two flange parts jointly form a receptacle for the rolling-element bearing, wherein one of the flange parts has at least one securing interface and the other has at least one securing counter-interface, wherein the first and second flange parts can be connected to each other and/or fixed to each other in a positive-locking manner by the securing interface and the securing counter-interface, and the positive-locking connection prevents the two flange parts from detaching from each other in an axial direction established by projecting the axis of rotation of the rolling-element bearing onto the housing. The first and second flange parts can be hooked, locked, and/or clipped to each other by the securing interface and the securing counter-interface.
Abstract:
A rolling bearing, particularly for a gas turbine, includes a plurality of rolling elements (4) arranged between an inner ring (2) and outer ring (3), and a housing structure (8) on which the outer ring (3) is elastically mounted. The outer ring (3) is constructed in one piece and has a raceway section (7) forming a raceway (6) for the rolling elements (4), a spring section (21) and a flange (10) screwed to the housing structure (8). The spring section (21) is constructed from a plurality of spring bars (12) which adjoin a deflection section (9) adjoining the raceway section (7) at the end face thereof and adjoin the flange (10), are arranged radially outside the raceway section (7) and do not protrude axially beyond the deflection section (9) and the race way section (7).
Abstract:
A rolling bearing has an inner and an outer bearing ring. Each bearing ring has an inner and an outer shell surface. The roller bearing has rolling elements, which roll on raceways provided on the respective shell surfaces of the bearing rings, and a sealing disc connected to one of the bearing rings and operatively connected in a sealing manner to the other bearing ring. To connect the sealing disc to the bearing ring, one of the shell surfaces of the one bearing ring includes a first connecting means and the sealing disc includes a second connecting means. The first connecting means provide a rotating engagement in which the second connecting means engage in a connected state of the bearing ring and the sealing disc.
Abstract:
An assembly is provided for a piece of rotational equipment with an axis. This assembly includes a static structure, a bearing within a bore of the static structure, and a centering spring mounting the bearing to the static structure. The static structure is configured with the bore, a slot, a first slot surface and a second slot surface. The slot extends radially into the static structure from the bore. The slot extends axially within the static structure between the first slot surface and the second slot surface. The centering spring includes an annular hub and a mounting tab. The annular hub is within the bore. The mounting tab projects radially from the annular hub into the slot.
Abstract:
A bearing assembly includes an outer race and an inner race. The outer race has a body extending between a pair of axial faces and defines a radially-inward facing bearing surface. The inner race is received in the outer race and has a radially-outward facing bearing surface that bears against the radially-inward facing bearing surface of the outer race. The radially-outward facing bearing surface has one or more flat surfaces removed from it. These flats on the inner race can reduce the dimensional entry requirements for insertion of the inner race into the outer race and either permits the receiving slots in the outer race to be reduced in dimension (thereby relatively thickening the wall of the outer race, which structurally strengthens the outer races) or permits the receiving slots to be eliminated altogether.
Abstract:
The ball socket assembly includes a housing with an open interior which extends along an axis. A bearing is disposed in the open interior of the housing and has a curved primary contact surface which surrounds the axis and surrounds a stud ball opening. A stud ball is disposed in the opening and is in sliding contact with the primary contact surface for allowing rotation of the stud ball relative to the bearing. The stud ball has an equator and is in sliding contact with the bearing on both sides of the equator. A stud is operably connected with the stud ball. A shoe is further provided and has a pair of supplemental contact surfaces that are biased against the stud ball. The shoe provides the stud with a predetermined rotational torque and also adjusts for wear in the assembly to maintain the performance of the socket assembly.
Abstract:
The invention relates to fastening elements for connecting transmission means such as tie rods, Bowden cables or the like to lever elements, in particular for motor vehicle locks, and to connecting arrangements equipped with such fastening elements. In order to allow reliable mounting and a structurally simple manufacture of the fastening elements, the fastening element is provided with a bayonet contour in such a manner that the fastening element, when mounted, is hinged to the lever element so as to be swiveled about a swivel axis. Owing to the swivelability and secure fastening to the lever element, the fastening element is particularly suitable for use in an actuation-force transmission chain between a motor vehicle lock and an actuating element for actuating said motor vehicle lock.
Abstract:
