    摘要: A bearing assembly for a compressor of an internal combustion engine. The bearing assembly includes an outer ring having an outer cylindrical surface with a first and a second axial section. A positioning component which has a recess with an inner circumference is provided, wherein the positioning component surrounds the outer ring in a region of the second axial section and the positioning component and the outer ring are arranged displaceably relative to one another. To provide an alternative anti-rotation element and an alternative axial stop, at least one sub-section of an inner circumference of the recess of the positioning component is non-uniformly spaced from the center point and the cross-section of the second axial section around the circumference has at least one sub-section with a radius that varies around the contour of the outer cylindrical surface (radius variation). In a first circumferential section, the distance between the contour of the outer cylindrical surface of the second axial section and the axis of rotation is greater than the distance between the contour of the inner circumference of the recess of the positioning component and the axis of rotation in a second circumferential section.

    摘要: A telescopic steering column assembly comprises an upper and a lower shroud portion able to move relatively during telescopic adjustment, a telescopic steering shaft that passes through and is supported by the shroud portions through at least one support bearing assembly that acts between an upper portion of the telescopic steering shaft and a lower portion of the shroud that move relative to one another axially during telescopic adjustment. The at least one support bearing assembly comprises a first bearing race which is separate from the shroud portions and the steering shaft, a resilient spacer that applies a biasing force that is directed in a radial direction from the axis of the shaft and that is located between the first race and an adjacent face of one of the lower shroud portion and the upper shaft portion; a set of bearings, and a cage that locates the bearings relative to the first bearing race. The bearings bear onto a second bearing race that is defined by a surface of the other one of the lower shroud portion and the upper shaft portion, the second bearing face permitting the bearings to slide or roll in the direction of adjustment of the steering column assembly when it is adjusted for reach.
