    摘要: A carrier bearing assembly can include a bracket comprising a first end, a second end, a first face extending between the first end and the second end width, and a second face opposite the first face. An opening can be formed completely through the bracket and extend from the first face to the second face. A bearing can be disposed within the opening and an angle between a centerline of the bearing and a centerline of the bracket can be in a range of 85-89° or 91-95°. First and second mounting structures offset from the opening can be for coupling the carrier bearing assembly to the frame of the UTV, and the centerline of the bracket can pass through a center of the first mounting structure and a center of the second mounting structure.

    摘要: An intermediate bearing for a drive shaft train of a motor vehicle has an elastic bearing body which has a bore and a supporting ring which is arranged in the bore and has a receiving space for receiving an anti-friction bearing. The receiving space defines a longitudinal axis, and two sealing washers which are spaced apart axially from one another and have in each case one central opening for receiving a drive component. The supporting ring is arranged between the two sealing washers. The sealing washers have in each case one groove which extends concentrically with respect to the longitudinal axis. The supporting ring engages into the two grooves of the sealing washers.

    摘要: Bearing assemblies and methods of forming the same are disclosed. The bearing assembly may include an outer bearing ring having a first outer diameter and defining an outer race and a radially outer surface. A radial extension may be coupled to the radially outer surface of the outer bearing ring to expand an outer diameter of the bearing assembly from the first outer diameter to a larger second outer diameter. The second outer diameter may be configured to correspond to a diameter of a housing cavity that is larger than the first diameter such that the bearing assembly can be coupled to the housing (e.g., press fit into the housing). The radial extension may be over-molded or press fit onto the outer bearing ring. The radial extension may be formed of a material less dense than the outer bearing ring, such as a polymer or elastomer.

    摘要: A shaft balancing device for insertion into a shaft including a generally flat cylindrical band having an outer surface, an inner surface and a set of two crush points thereon. A balancing weight is attached to the outer surface of the band between the set of crush points. The device is inserted into the shaft and the crush points are plastically deformed radially outward creating spring force which holds the balancing weight to the inner surface of the shaft. The band has a curved connecting portion between the two crush points having a radius of curvature slightly greater than the curvature of the shaft. The balancing weight has a radius of curvature slightly greater than the radius of curvature of the curved connecting portion and slightly less than the radius of curvature of the shaft.
