A follower mechanism including an outer cup having a substantially cylindrical side wall, an annular lip portion disposed at a first end of the side wall, and an annular ledge disposed on the side wall, the annular ledge being disposed in a plane that is transverse to a longitudinal center axis of the follower mechanism. An inner cup includes an annular lip extending outwardly therefrom and a pair of shaft apertures, and is disposed in the outer cup so that the lip abuts the annular ledge of the outer cup and is non-rotatably fixed thereto by the annular lip of the outer cup which abuts the lip of the inner cup. A shaft is received in the shaft apertures, and a roller follower is rotatably received on the shaft such that a portion of the roller follower extends axially outwardly beyond the annular lip portion of the outer cup.

A roller arrangement for a web processing system, the roller arrangement comprising a roller and at least one rotational shaft having a shaft portion and an attachment portion and wherein the at least one rotational shaft is releasably connectable to the roller.

An aircraft landing gear assembly including structural members coupled via a coupling including a bearing. The bearing has a body defining a first bearing surface arranged to contact a first counter-face of the coupling. The first bearing surface is defined by a first tubular layer of fibre reinforced polymer of a first type having an axis and containing synthetic fibres of a first type wound around and along the axis of the bearing. The bearing body further has a second tubular layer of fibre reinforced polymer of a second type containing synthetic fibres of a second type wound around and along the axis of the bearing.

A rotating assembly for a machine is disclosed herein. The rotating assembly includes an annular support structure and a shaft assembly. The annular support structure includes a bore therethrough and protrusion extending helically around a portion of the bore. The shaft assembly includes a shaft and a collar coupled to the shaft. The collar includes a plurality of grooves located at the outer surface of the collar. The collar is positioned within the bore of the annular support structure such that the plurality of grooves are adjacent to the protrusion. As the annular support structure rotates, the protrusion rotates and is configured to move debris and mud out of the rotating assembly.

A pulley device for supporting a belt of chain tensioning idler or a runner roller includes a bearing having an outer ring mounted for rotation relative to a coaxial inner ring and at least one pulley part that is C-shaped in cross section. The pulley part has an inner portion with a frustoconical inner surface mounted on an outer cylindrical surface of the outer ring, an outer cylindrical portion having an outer cylindrical surface configured to support a belt or a chain, and an intermediate portion extending radially inward from the cylindrical outer portion to the inner portion. The pulley part is integral and has an open end on an axial side opposite the intermediate portion. The frustoconical surface extends inwardly towards the outer ring, and the inner surface is force fitted onto the outer cylindrical surface of the outer ring.

A rolling device, a package for rolling device and a rolling module are introduced. The rolling device includes a receiving seat defining a receiving recess, at least one secondary rolling member received in the receiving recess to contact with a surface of the receiving recess, a primary rolling member partially received in the receiving recess to contact with a surface of the at least one secondary rolling member, a coupling section connected to the receiving seat for coupling to an external object, and a stop section connected to the receiving seat and defining a stop opening, which has a size smaller than a maximum size of the primary rolling member.

A pulley device comprising a rolling bearing including an inner ring defining a central bore, and outer ring and rolling elements mounted between the inner ring and the outer ring, a pulley secured in rotation with the outer ring and provided with a feature for engaging with a transmission member. The pulley additionally includes a screw comprising a head and a shank housed in the central bore of the inner ring, the screw being configured to fix the pulley device to a motor support. The pulley device also comprises a first sleeve arranged between the inner ring and the screw, on the side of the motor support. The first sleeve includes an inner surface that has a frustoconical portion having an increasing diameter toward the head of the screw.

A support bearing, for example for straighteners, having an outer ring, an inner ring and rolling bodies that roll between the outer and inner ring on raceways. A bending moment prevails between the rings as a result of a load with a fixed direction of action. To compensate for the bending moment, an outer raceway of the inner ring and/or an inner raceway of the outer ring includes a profiling with a variable diameter in the axial direction. The profiling is adapted or approximated to a non-cylindrical bending line caused by the bending moment in the rolling contact, and the bending line is defined by a line, on which bending forces which are transmitted from the inner ring to the rolling bodies and are caused by the bending moment lie substantially perpendicularly. As a result, the disadvantageous edge loading in a given load direction is suppressed, with the result that more rolling bodies can transmit load between the rings at the same time.

A charging roll includes a core member, a rubber base material disposed around the core member, and a surface layer disposed around the rubber base material. The ten point height of irregularities R.sub.Z of a surface of the surface layer is equal to or greater than 3.9 micrometers, and is equal to or less than 6.1 micrometers. The mean spacing between peaks S.sub.m of the surface of the surface layer is equal to or greater than 12.5 micrometers and is equal to or less than 13.5 micrometers.

The pulley device provides a pulley and a bearing. The pulley has two C-shaped pulley parts having each an inner portion mounted on the bearing, an outer portion having an outer cylindrical surface dedicated to interact with a belt or a chain, and an intermediate portion extending substantially radially between axial ends of inner and outer portions on one axial side of pulley device. Free ends of outer portions each include a hook-shaped portion. A first one of the hook-shaped portions axially overlapping a second one of the hook-shaped portions. The hook-shaped portions configured to cooperate together in order to attach one outer portion to the other.
