    摘要: Two hybrid ball bearings and a compressor bearing arrangement with two hybrid ball bearings for a rotatable support of a rotor of the compressor versus a stator of the compressor. The two hybrid ball bearings are arranged face-to-face or back-to-back, are configured with an optimal axial clearance depending on the inner diameter of a ring-shaped inner raceway element one of the hybrid ball bearings respectively a pitch diameter of one of the two hybrid ball bearings for a long bearing life in connection with an optimal compressor operating performance.

    摘要: Disclosed is a cooling system comprising a refrigerant cycle for cycling refrigerant from at least a compressor unit for com-pressing gaseous refrigerant to a condenser unit for condensing gaseous refrigerant to liquid refrigerant, from the condenser unit to an evaporator unit for evaporating the liquid refrigerant to gaseous refrigerant, and from the evaporating unit back to the compressor unit, and a lubrication cycle having at least one lubricating refrigerant supply line for providing refrigerant as lubricant to a bearing assembly, wherein the at least one lubricating refrigerant supply line branches off from the refrigerant cycle at the condenser unit for providing refrigerant to the bearing assembly, and re-unites with the refrigerant cycle at the evaporator unit, for feeding back refrigerant from the bearing assembly to the refrigerant cycle.

    摘要: A pair of hybrid ball bearings have stainless steel rings and ceramic balls and are configured such that when the first inner ring and the first outer ring are in contact with the first plurality of ceramic balls under zero measuring load and zero mounting load and the second inner ring and the second outer ring are in contact with the second plurality of ceramic balls under zero measuring load and zero mounting load a certain gap exists between either the inner rings or the outer rings. The gap is based on the diameter of the inner ring or on the pitch diameter of the balls and on whether the bearings have an X configuration or an O configuration.

    摘要: A Hybrid ball bearing including an outer raceway, an inner raceway, and a plurality of balls arranged between the inner raceway and the outer raceway. The outer raceway and the inner raceway are made from bearing steel and have a first surface RMS roughness Rq1. At least one ball of the plurality of balls is made from a ceramic material and has a second surface RMS roughness Rq2. In a mint condition, the roughness of the raceways Rq1 is 2 to 5 times higher than the roughness Rq2 of the at least one ball, as well as a refrigerant compressor comprising such a hybrid ball bearing.

    摘要: An angular contact ball bearing includes an outer ring having an outer diameter D and a first rolling surface and an inner ring having an inner diameter d and a second rolling surface, and no more than one row of balls between the first rolling surface and the second rolling surface, each of the balls having a diameter Dw. The diameter Dw of the balls, the outer diameter D of the outer ring, and the inner diameter d of the inner ring satisfy the relationship: 2  D w D - d > 0.7 .
