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.

A bearing assembly, comprising a bearing configured to support a machine part, an installation space configured to receive at least one electronic module, a mount in the installation space that includes an electric line and the electronic module is attached to the mount, one or more continuous electronic conductor paths, and one or more interrupted conductor path that is parallel to the continuous electronic conduct path.

A roller bearing (2) having a sleeve (5), by which a rolling element raceway is formed, and a lid (1) held to the sleeve by a snap-on connection, wherein the lid has securing projections (17), which are directed outward, which protrude beyond the sleeve (5) in the radial direction and are provided for axially fixing the lid in a housing (4) surrounding the sleeve.

A rolling bearing device includes a rolling bearing that includes an outer ring having an inner peripheral surface on which a first raceway surface is provided, an inner ring having an outer peripheral surface on which a second raceway surface is provided, and rolling elements interposed between the first and the second raceway surfaces; a strain sensor configured to detect a strain of the rolling bearing; and a fixation portion configured to fix the strain sensor to a peripheral surface that includes at least one of an outer peripheral surface of the outer ring and an inner peripheral surface of the inner ring. The fixation portion fixes at least two locations in the strain sensor to the peripheral surface such that a detection region of the strain sensor and the peripheral surface are not fixed to each other, the at least two locations facing each other across the detection region.

The contact portion of the end face of a conical roller, which is a portion to be slidingly contacted with a collar portion, is ground such that the outer contour line of the section thereof has a continuously curved line which passes through at least not only the first point but also between the third position and fourth position.

A bearing assembly having cylindrical rolling elements, an inner ring, an outer ring, and a plurality of cylindrical rolling elements arranged radially between the internal raceway and external raceway. The inner ring includes an annular shoulder that protrudes with respect to the internal raceway, a fillet in the form of a circular arc being defined between the annular shoulder and internal raceway. The outer ring has an annular shoulder that protrudes with respect to the external raceway, the annular shoulder of the outer ring being housed axially between the annular shoulder of the inner ring and the cylindrical rolling elements. The annular shoulder of the outer ring is provided with an annular chamfer in the immediate vicinity of the fillet defined on the inner ring.
