Abstract:
A bearing module including a first bearing component and a second bearing component which are mounted such that the first bearing component and the second bearing component can move relative to one another, the first bearing component being an outer ring extending in a circumferential direction and the second bearing copmonent being a corresponding inner ring, a raceway is provided on one of the outer bearing and the inner bearing ring, and corrosion protection is provided at a side of the raceway, the corrosion protection being anodic corrosion protection and including one of a sacrificial anode or an impressed current anode. A separate protection means is provided, which is comprised of an oligodynamically acting material.
Abstract:
There is provided a rotary seal capable of delaying a progress of corrosion of a steel-made member without increasing manufacturing cost even when a solution containing an electrolyte is present around a contact portion between a stainless steel-made member and the steel-made member. At least one of (i) a metal fitting portion A between a sleeve 2A of a stainless steel-made slinger 2 of a rotary seal 1A and an inner ring 12 that is a steel-made radially inner member, and (ii) an outside-air side surface of the slinger 2, which includes an outside-air side end portion of the fitting portion A, is provided with at least one of a silane-based adhesive layer containing powder of metal having a higher ionization tendency than iron, a thermosetting resin adhesive layer containing powder of metal having a higher ionization tendency than iron, and a coating film containing powder of metal having a higher ionization tendency than iron.
Abstract:
A vehicle component with at least two connection points, a structural component that extends between the connection points and rigidly connects them with one another. The structural component comprises at least one insert made of a ductile material and at least two connection zones that support or form the two connection points, at least one of the zones comprises plastic. The structural component comprises at least one intermediate section that connects the two connection zones rigidly to one another and comprises the insert or is formed by the insert, this section is more ductile than at least one of the two connection zones and, in relation to a mechanical overload of the structural component, forms a locally delimited weak-point or region.
Abstract:
A rolling bearing to be used in molten metal provides inner and outer races, a plurality of rolling elements and a cage, in which a solid lubricant is exposed at least in contact surfaces between the cage and the plurality of rolling elements, and further in which the solid lubricant is exposed also in contact surfaces between the cage and the inner and outer races. The cage is formed of a material having specific gravity of 0.8 to 1.2 with respect to the molten metal. In the rolling bearing, the wear resistance of the inner and outer races, the rolling elements and the cage can be improved.
Abstract:
A thrust bearing comprises an electromagnetic stator with a stator surface and a rotor disk with a rotor surface facing the stator surface. The rotor disk comprises a radially inner portion made of a first material directly and exclusively connected to a radially outer portion made of a second material. The first material is a corrosion resistant metal or metal alloy and the second material is a ferromagnetic metal or metal alloy.
Abstract:
A generator includes a sliding member, a first power generation element and a second power generation element. The sliding member is made of a biomass-containing material. The first power generation element is configured to slide with respect to the sliding member. The second power generation element is configured to generate electrical power by variation of its relative position with respect to the first power generation element.
Abstract:
An environment-friendly rolling bearing is proposed in which at least one of inner ring, outer ring, rolling elements, seals and retainer is formed of a biodegradable material.
Abstract:
In order to make a bearing, such as a roller bearing, insensitive to a lack of maintenance lubrication or irregular maintenance lubrication while at the same time retaining its mechanical performance, at least one bearing part of the bearing is provided at least partially with an oleophilic adhesion promoter layer. The adhesion promoter layer binds a lubricant layer of the bearing to the bearing part provided with the adhesion promoter layer. The adhesion promoter layer is bonded to an elemental-iron-free surface of a bearing part body. The removal of free iron from the bearing part body surface is carried out with nitric acid, chromate solution and/or citric acid. The treated bearing part has an oleophilic anti-corrosion adhesion promoter layer. The bearing may be used in pressure-operated devices, in particular in turbine handpieces used by dentists, because the loss of the lubricant layer during operation of the device was particularly high.
