    摘要: A bearing assembly can comprise: a base member including at least one base ramp; a carriage member including: a first surface defining a bearing channel, the bearing channel configured to receive a plurality of ball bearings and allow recirculating movement of the ball bearings, the bearing channel having a variable depth, wherein the bearing channel having a variable depth is configured to allow the plurality of ball bearings to extend beyond the first surface at a first portion of the bearing channel and extend below the first surface at a second portion of the bearing channel; a second surface opposing the first surface, the second surface including at least one carriage ramp, the carriage ramp configured to engage the at least one base ramp; and a retaining member configured to cover a least a portion of the first surface and retain the ball bearings in the carriage member.

    摘要: The radial foil bearing includes: a top foil disposed facing a rotary shaft; an intermediate foil disposed outside of the top foil in the radial direction thereof; a back foil disposed outside of the intermediate foil in the radial direction; and a cylindrical bearing housing accommodating the top foil, the intermediate foil and the back foil. Engagement recesses are formed on both side surfaces of the bearing housing so as to be opposite to each other. The intermediate foil includes intermediate foil pieces disposed in the circumferential direction of the bearing housing. An engagement-projecting piece engaging with the engagement recess is formed in each intermediate foil piece.

    摘要: A journal foil bearing includes a bearing retainer having one slot configured to receive a top foil leading edge tab and another slot configured to receive a top foil trailing edge tab. A backup support structure, integral to the bearing retainer, extends between and is at least partially defined by the slots. The retainer is configured so that, during operation, the trailing edge tab further contacts, at an increased contact pressure, the support structure at a position close to the friction force, thereby minimizing top foil bending stress and improving bearing strength.

    摘要: A radial foil bearing includes: a cylindrical top foil disposed so as to face a rotary shaft; a back foil disposed outside in the radial direction of the top foil; and a cylindrical bearing housing accommodating the top foil and the back foil. The bearing housing is provided with a limiting member which limits movement of the back foil. A locking recess is provided in a central part in the axial direction of an inner circumferential surface of the bearing housing. In addition, the limiting member includes a locking protrusion and is fixed to the bearing housing by the locking protrusion being locked into the locking recess.

    摘要: A bearing system includes a bearing comprising a first end and a second end opposite to the first end. The bearing further comprises a plurality of threads adjacent to the second end. The plurality of threads comprise a first slot perpendicular to the plurality of threads. The bearing system also includes a washer comprising a first surface adjacent to the second end of the bearing and a plane parallel to the first surface. The washer further comprises a plurality of side tabs extending from a second surface in a direction parallel to the plane and a first tab extending from the first surface in a direction perpendicular to the plane. The first tab mates with the first slot of the bearing. The bearing system further comprises a nut positioned between the first end of the bearing and the first surface of the washer.
