Abstract: A method of manufacturing a slotted entry bearing assembly includes inserting an inner race into a central space of an outer race. The outer race is configured to receive the inner race through at least one slot. Once the inner race is fully inserted into the outer race, it is rotated approximately ninety degrees within the center space, effectively locking the inner race within the outer race. After the inner race is rotated ninety degrees, a molded seal is molded between the inner race and the at least one slot. The molded seal adheres to the at least one slot and is made of a polymeric material. The molding process used to mold the molded seal may be compression molding.

Abstract: A ball and socket joint protective cap is provided for covering the pin-shaped partial area (7) of a completely mounted ball and socket joint. At least two hollow cylindrical sections (12, 13) of different diameters are arranged adjacent in the axial longitudinal direction of the ball and socket joint protective cap (11). The section (12) with the larger diameter is arranged at the end of the ball and socket joint protective cap (11) that is to be attached to the joint housing (1). For the better protection of the completely mounted ball and socket joint with the ball and socket joint protective cap (11) attached, the ball and socket joint protective cap has a transition area (16) extending essentially at right angles to the axial longitudinal direction of the ball and socket joint protective cap (11) in the transition of the hollow cylindrical sections (12, 13), wherein the dimension of the diameter of the smaller hollow cylindrical section (13) of the ball and socket joint protective cap (11) is only slightly larger than the dimension of the covered conical receiving section (8) of the pivot pin (3) of the ball and socket joint. Displacement of the sealing bellows (5) of the ball and socket joint in the direction of the arrows P is achieved due to this special design during the attachment of the ball and socket joint protective cap to the pin-shaped partial area of the pivot pin, as a result of which the pressing forces are increased in the area of the contact surface between the sealing bellows (5) and the pivot pin (3).

Abstract: A bellows seal (1) on a ball-and-socket joint provided with joint ball and ball pivot (2), especially on a ball-and-socket joint of a chassis bearing, with an elastic bellows has a pivot-side opening and a joint-side opening and axially surrounds the ball pivot (2) of the ball-and-socket joint. A circumferential, elastic and outwardly pointing sealing lip (6), which can be in contact with a sealing surface (7), is provided at the pivot-side opening of the sealing bellows (1). An L-ring, whose first leg (9) points essentially in the axial direction (axial leg) and whose second leg (10) points radially to the outside (radial leg), is provided at the pivot-side opening. The radial leg (10) engages a groove extending on the inside of the sealing bellows (1) or is anchored in it, and the inside of the axial leg (9) is sealingly in contact with an opposite running surface.

Abstract: A protective cover 12 for a threaded stud 26 of a ball joint 10 includes retaining members 90 for engaging the stud 26 of the ball joint 10. The retaining members 90 apply a retaining force to the stud 26 to prevent removal of the cover 12 from the ball joint 10. A wall 72 of the cover 12 includes a weakened portion 96. The weakened portion 96 of the wall 72 breaks in response to shear forces applied to the cover 12 which lessens the force applied by the retaining members 90 to the stud 26. Therefore, the cover 12 can be easily removed from the ball joint 10.
