A one-way snap-in bearing cage providing a substantially annular backbone, and a hanging-out portion extending from the backbone to one axial side, the hanging-out portion having pockets, which are distributed at intervals in a circumferential direction and used to accommodate spherical rollers, and pocket connections for connecting adjacent pockets. The pocket, at least in the vicinity of a radial inner edge at an opening side of the pocket, employs an expanding design achieving remoteness from a surface of the roller.

A cage for a ball bearing is optimized for high-speed applications. To reduce weight, the cage is formed by a number of conical blades which collectively form an “X” shape. To add rigidity, a number of gussets are placed between the blades at various circumferential locations. The light weight reduces the centrifugal forces for a given diameter and rotational speed. The rigidity permits the cage to withstand the centrifugal forces without excessive deflection or stress.

A camera module includes a housing, a carrier, a frame, a lens holder, an autofocusing (AF) ball bearing, and an optical image stabilization (OIS) ball bearing. The carrier is coupled to the housing and configured to move in an optical axis direction. The frame is coupled to the carrier and configured to move in a first axis direction, perpendicular to the optical axis direction. The lens holder is coupled to the frame and configured to move in a second axis direction, perpendicular to the optical axis and the first axis. The AF ball bearing is disposed between the housing and the carrier. The OIS ball bearing is disposed on either one or both of the carrier and the frame, and the frame and the lens holder. Either one or both of the AF ball bearing and the OIS ball bearing have an elastic modulus of 20 GPa or less.

The present disclosure discloses a method for realizing macroscopic super-lubrication by a matching pair of nano metal-coated steel balls and hydrogen-containing carbon films, which is based on the use of nano metal-coated steel balls and diamond-like films with a hydrogen content of 25-30% as the matching pair. Further, a tribochemical reaction occurs through the catalytic action of nano metal during the friction process to form a nano graphene transfer film with incommensurate contact at the contact interface to achieve macroscopic super-lubrication.

A bearing assembly can support a rotating shaft on a vehicle structure and can include a rolling element bearing that has an inner race configured to be press fit on the rotating shaft. An outer race can surround the inner race and be configured to be mounted on the vehicle structure. A plurality of rolling elements can be located between the inner race and the outer race. A retaining ring can be configured to be press fit on the rotating shaft and abut the inner race when the rolling element bearing and the retaining ring are press fit on the rotating shaft. The press fit between the retaining ring and the rotating shaft can contribute to the press fit between the inner race and the rotating shaft such that the retaining ring and the rolling element bearing together distribute a load input by the rotating shaft to the vehicle structure.

The invention relates to a bearing assembly (10) comprising at least one first bearing element (12) and a second bearing element (14) which are rotatably connected relative to each other along a common longitudinal axis (14). The bearing assembly (10) comprises a brake device (18) which inhibits the rotation of the two bearing elements (12) relative to each other by means of a frictional force produced by the brake device (18), wherein the brake device (18) has at least one frictional element (20) and at least one clamping device (22), by means of which the frictional element (20) is permanently clamped against one of the two bearing elements (12). The bearing assembly also comprises a coupling device (30) which can be moved between an open state and a closed state. In the closed state, the brake device (18) is engaged, whereby when the two bearing elements (12) rotate relative to each other, the rotation is inhibited by the frictional force produced by the brake device (18), and in the open state, the brake device (18) is disengaged.
