A cage freewheel for installation into the clamping gap of a shaft/hub connection, in particular in an e-bike drive, includes an annular cage with, following one another in the circumferential direction, bearing rollers for mounting the hub and the shaft together, and clamping bodies arranged pivotably in the cage. The clamping bodies block a relative movement between the shaft and the hub in a frictionally locking manner in one rotational direction, and allow rotation in the other rotational direction, and are spring-loaded in the coupling direction by an annular spring which extends around the row of the clamping bodies in a slot in the radially outer surface of the clamping bodies. The bearing rollers are arranged in each case in pairs in associated pockets of the cage on both sides of the annular spring. Here, the bearing rollers are received in a positively locking manner in the associated pockets.

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.

The invention relates to bearing assembly (10) comprising at least one first bearing element (12) and one second bearing element (14) which are connected together along a longitudinal axis (16) in a rotatable manner relative to each other, wherein the bearing assembly (10) comprises a brake device (18), which inhibits the rotation of the two bearing elements (12, 14) relative to each other by means of a frictional force produced by the brake device (18), and an adjustment device (22), by means of which the brake force which is applied during the rotation the two bearing elements (12, 14) relative to each other can be modified, wherein an adjustment device (22) comprises at least two wedge elements (28, 32), each of which has a wedge surface (34, 36) that rests against each other and which can be moved relative to each other in a sliding manner against each other in order to modify the brake force.

When the compressed air is not applied, an inclined surface, which is positioned at an upstream side with respect to the supply direction of the compressed air, of the lip part is in contact with the inclined surface of the inner ring. When the compressed air is applied, a contact area between the inclined surface, which is positioned at the upstream side with respect to the supply direction of the compressed air, of the lip part and the inclined surface of the inner ring becomes smaller, as compared to when the compressed air is not applied.

The present disclosure relates to a heating, ventilation, and/or air conditioning (HVAC) unit including a condenser coil and a condenser fan assembly. The condenser fan assembly includes a first fan and a second fan, where the first fan and the second fan are each configured to operate to pull air through the condenser coil. The HVAC unit also includes a motor of the first fan including a housing and a shaft, where the motor is configured to operate to rotate the shaft in a first direction. The HVAC unit further includes a unidirectional bearing that is coupled to the shaft and a mounting assembly of the condenser fan assembly, where the unidirectional bearing is configured to block rotation of the shaft in a second direction that is opposite the first direction.

A device includes a bearing-in-bearing with an inner ring, an intermediate ring and an outer ring. Between the inner ring and the intermediate ring and between the intermediate ring and the outer ring, inner roller elements, and outer roller elements, are attached, respectively. The bearing-in-bearing is attached between two components that can rotate in relation to each other, a shaft and a housing, of which one component is or can be connected to a drive. A transmission is provided between the intermediate ring and the driven component in order to drive the intermediate ring. The transmission is a contactless transmission.

A steering column may include a steering spindle that is surrounded by a casing tube and is connected to a steering wheel, a guide clamp in which the casing tube is guided displaceably along a longitudinal axis of the steering spindle. The guide clamp may be mounted pivotably about a pivot axis in a holding part that is connectable to a chassis of the motor vehicle. The position of the casing tube may be adjustable relative to the holding part, and a blocking device may be arranged between the casing tube and the holding part. The blocking device may comprise a threaded rod engaged with a spindle nut. The spindle nut may be mounted in a rolling bearing. Rolling bodies of the rolling bearing may be at least partially surrounded by a magnetorheological fluid, and the blocking device may comprise an electromagnet.

Electronic devices, such as consumer electronics devices and control systems in vehicles are controlled by way of a haptic operating device with a rotating unit. Selectable menu items are displayed on a display unit, and a menu item is selected by rotating the rotating unit. The rotating unit latches at a number of haptically perceptible latching points during rotation. The number and rotational position of the haptically perceptible latching points is dynamically changed in accordance with a specific menu item selected by the user.

An internal combustion engine includes: a crankshaft supported via a bearing; a balancer drive gear; a balancer shaft; and a one-way clutch mechanism that transmits to the crankshaft a drive force to start the internal combustion engine. In the internal combustion engine, the bearing includes an oil seal built therein, the oil seal sealing a crank chamber of the crankcase. The one-way clutch mechanism includes a case fixed to the crankshaft and a starter driven gear provided relatively rotatably with respect to the case and driven by the drive force. The starter driven gear includes a thrust bearing portion that abuts on the balancer drive gear in an axial direction of the crankshaft.
