A bearing structure of a turbocharger includes a rotor shaft, a ball bearing, and a housing. An inner ring of the ball bearing has the rotor shaft inserted therein. The oil film damper is formed between the inner ring and an outer peripheral surface of the rotor shaft. The inner ring rotates with rotation of the rotor shaft via the oil film damper. An oil discharge path for scattering oil discharged from the oil film damper radially outside, is provided at least either on one end surface of the inner ring in an axial direction or on an opposing surface opposed to the inner ring, of a collar. The oil discharge path is formed of a groove that is arranged in a manner to be gradually apart from the oil film damper in the axial direction as going radially outside.

An electric motor is provided which is designed to minimize a risk of corrosion or stress corrosion cracking of parts thereof and reduce mechanical vibration or noise. The electric motor includes an output shaft, a bearing which retains the output shaft, a frame, and a biasing member. The biasing member is made of austenite stainless steel and disposed between the bearing and a bottom wall of a bearing housing to elastically press the output shaft in a lengthwise direction thereof for eliminating mechanical noise arising from vibration of a rotor. The frame has a coating formed on an outer surface thereof for avoiding erosion thereof. The coating is not formed at least on a portion of the frame which faces the biasing member in order to induce sacrificial corrosion of the frame, which decelerates the corrosion of the biasing member to eliminate a risk of the stress corrosion cracking thereof.

A puller/installer comprises a draw plate, a split ring, a cap plate, and at least one draw member. The draw plate defines a draw plate cam surface. The split ring defines at least one split plate cam surface and is arranged such that the at least one split plate cam surface is in contact with the draw plate cam surface. The at least one draw member is arranged to draw the cap plate and the draw plate towards each other such that the draw plate cam surface engages the at least one split plate cam surface to deform the split ring to alter an effective diameter of the bearing race puller/installer.

A disk armature generator for generating electrical energy from rotational energy of a wind power installation and comprising at least two stator components mutually offset axially along a generally horizontal rotation axis of the disk armature, and comprising, mounted therebetween so as to rotate about the rotation axis, at least one ring- or disk-shaped rotor component of the disk armature, and comprising an input-side connection for a gearbox wherein the sun gear thereof, which extends coaxially with the rotation axis of the disk armature, is coupled to at least one ring- or disk-shaped rotor component of the disk armature, wherein a rolling bearing associated with a ring- or disk-shaped rotor component of the disk armature is configured as a selected one of an angular contact ball bearing and angular contact ball bearings, having a contact angle of between 40° and 50° relative to the rotation axis, comprising a double-row angular contact ball bearing in an O arrangement.

An end play measurement apparatus is provided that measures end play of a tapered roller bearing of a gear unit. The gear unit supports a large-gear shaft, with which a gear is fitted, via the tapered roller bearing. The end play measurement apparatus includes a power generation unit, which is fixed to the large-gear shaft and generates power to move the gear unit backward and forward in the axial direction, a position change unit, which is interposed between the power generation unit and the gear unit and changes the axial position of the gear unit by using the power of the power generation unit, and a booster mechanism, which has a free end that receives the power of the power generation unit to boost the power.

A gear shaft of an output gear in a speed reducer of an in-wheel motor driving device is supported at a first end thereof and a second end thereof with respect to a housing. The gear shaft of the output gear is formed with a spline hole. The spline hole provides a spline-connection with an output shaft of a wheel hub.

A bearing structure of a turbocharger includes a rotor shaft, two angular ball bearings, a retainer, a housing, and an oil film damper. Each of the angular ball bearings includes an inner ring and an outer ring that are supported in relatively rotatable manner. The rotor shaft is inserted into the inner ring. The retainer holds the outer ring. The housing houses therein the rotor shaft, the angular ball bearings, and the retainer to constitute a bearing housing. The oil film damper is formed of oil in a film state and is interposed between the inner ring and an outer peripheral surface of the rotor shaft. The inner ring is configured to rotate with rotation of the rotor shaft via the oil film damper.
