This invention discloses a very compact play-free bearing unit. The bearing runs without play while having a reasonably large play when assembling and disassembly the bearing unit from its axle. The bearing unit uses three bearings, one of which is mobile, and thanks to a preloading mechanism the play is removed when loaded. Thanks to an amplification lever, the preloading unit is able to function either with a pneumatic actuator or with a hydraulic actuator.

The invention relates to a length-adjustable connecting rod for a reciprocating piston engine, to a reciprocating piston engine, and to a vehicle having a reciprocating piston engine, wherein the connecting rod has a second connecting rod part with a guide cylinder, and a first connecting rod part with a guide shank, wherein the guide shank is accommodated by the guide cylinder and is movable relative thereto for adjustment of an effective connecting rod length, wherein the first connecting rod part has a first stop surface and the second connecting rod part has a second stop surface, wherein lying of the first stop surface against the second stop surface restricts a relative movement between the first connecting rod part and the second connecting rod part in a first direction, and wherein, when the first stop surface lies against the second stop surface, at least a portion of a compressive force acting on the connecting rod along the longitudinal axis of the connecting rod is transferred past the guide shank via the first stop surface and the second stop surface from the first connecting rod part into the second connecting rod part and/or vice versa.

A variable compression ratio device may include a connecting rod having a large end portion link-connected to a crankshaft and a small end portion link-connected to a piston by a piston pin, an eccentric cam rotatably installed at the small end portion of the connecting rod and at which the piston pin eccentrically passes through a rotation center, and an low-pressure outer plate and an high-pressure outer plate engaged with both side surfaces of the eccentric cam, formed to partially protrude outward, and selectively engaged with the connecting rod according to a compression ratio. In addition, the low-pressure outer plate and the high-pressure outer plate are selectively engaged with the connecting rod by a controller according to a supply direction of a hydraulic pressure.

The present disclosure relates to a bicycle hub, and more particularly, to a levitating bicycle hub coupling structure using a magnet in the internal contact structure in order to upgrade the levitating non-contact type structure to reduce friction and enable the position of a hub inner shaft member for transmitting the load of a user to an inner bearing part and the like to be changed to an upper or lower preset position, and fixes the same at a changed position so as to offset the load applied to the shaft member by the repulsive force of the magnets, such that the load is not applied to the bearing parts positioned at both sides of the shaft member or is significantly reduced so as to improve rolling performance, and thus riding of the bicycle becomes smoother and easier; or has first and second internal magnet parts formed at the outer peripheries of both sides of the housing rotating by being connected to bicycle wheels, and has first and second external magnet parts corresponding to the first and second internal magnet parts so as to generate repulsive force, such that when the user gets on the bicycle, an eccentric load transmitted to the shaft member through a bicycle frame is supported by the repulsive force, thereby enabling the prevention of load being applied to the bearing parts.
