A rotating shaft lifting jig is inserted between a rotating shaft of a rotary machine and a bearing stand surrounding the outer periphery of at least a lower part of the rotating shaft. The jig for lifting the rotating shaft includes: a pedestal which is supported on an inner peripheral surface of the bearing stand; and a jack part which is disposed between the pedestal and the outer peripheral surface of the rotating shaft and extends/contracts in the radial direction. The radial dimension of the pedestal is smaller than a radial clearance between the rotating shaft and the bearing stand. A rotor receiver having a cylindrical surface conforming to the outer peripheral surface of the rotating shaft is provided between the jack part and the rotating shaft. The rotor receiver is provided with a plurality of support members in directions different from the direction of the jack part.

A method for manufacturing a rolling-element bearing assembly includes providing a first bearing ring, a second bearing ring and rolling-elements, rotating the first bearing ring relative to the second bearing ring and joining the first bearing ring, the second bearing ring and the rolling elements while the first bearing ring is rotating relative to the second bearing ring. The method additionally includes connecting one of the bearing rings to a bearing ring of another rolling-element bearing or to a spacer while the first bearing ring is rotating relative to the second bearing ring.

A method of making an axle sleeve includes forming a main body comprising a cylinder and forming an expansion member whereby a diameter of the main body may be varied. The method includes cutting an inner helical cutout comprising a first slit defined through the main body and extending helically from an inner edge of the main body, cutting an outer helical cutout comprising a second slit defined through the main body and extending helically from an outer edge of the main body, forming an inner edge remaining portion comprising an annular section of the main body unbroken by the inner helical cutout, and forming an outer edge remaining portion comprising an annular section of the main body unbroken by the outer helical cutout.

A wheel bearing arrangement for a vehicle, having rotatable and statically fixed components, and at least two rolling body bearings arranged radially between the rotatable and statically fixed components for rotatably mounting the rotatable component. The at least two rolling body bearings have in each case an inner ring, an outer ring, and a rolling body row arranged therebetween. A spacer sleeve is arranged at end sides of the respective inner rings for axially securing the two inner rings. A respective securing ring is arranged fixedly on the respective inner rings so as to rotate therewith. The securing rings each have a substantially axially configured lug with a respective radial embossment arranged in a respective groove configured on an outer circumferential face of the spacer sleeve, in order to connect the respective inner rings axially to the spacer sleeve via the respective securing rings.

A rolling device, a package for rolling device and a rolling module are introduced. The rolling device includes a receiving seat defining a receiving recess, at least one secondary rolling member received in the receiving recess to contact with a surface of the receiving recess, a primary rolling member partially received in the receiving recess to contact with a surface of the at least one secondary rolling member, a coupling section connected to the receiving seat for coupling to an external object, and a stop section connected to the receiving seat and defining a stop opening, which has a size smaller than a maximum size of the primary rolling member.

A method for producing a bearing assembly for mounting a control shaft, for example a camshaft, may include: providing a bearing; arranging at least two rings on respective axial front sides of the bearing; pushing the bearing together with the at least two rings onto an assembly mandrel; pre-tensioning the at least two rings against the respective axial front sides of the bearing; at least one of (i) pushing a shrink hose over the bearing and the at least two rings and heating the shrink hose, and (ii) winding a film strip over the bearing and the at least two rings; and withdrawing the assembly mandrel.

A cage segment for a rolling-element bearing having a plurality of rolling elements includes at least one bridge and first and second plates extending from axial ends of the bridge, sides of the bridge being configured to guide rolling elements. Radially inner or outer edges of each of the bridges include at least one axial channel having channel walls projecting radially and circumferentially from the radial inner or outer edge.

Provided is a strut bearing including an upper case and a lower case that are made of a synthetic resin, and an engaging portion for preventing separation of components which are free from any stress exerted thereon during assembly. The strut bearing includes an outwardly-projecting piece row on an inner diameter side of an upper case, and an inwardly-projecting piece row on an inner diameter side of a lower case. Within a relative pivoting range of the upper and lower cases in a use state of the strut bearing, a detachment preventing engagement portion for preventing the upper and lower cases from being separated from each other in the axial direction is provided. Within a predetermined angle range outside the relative pivoting range, the detachment preventing engagement portion is not present.

A transport-securing unit for retaining a plurality of rollers in a rolling-element bearing cage during transportation may include an annular region and a plurality of axially extending, circumferentially spaced projections extending from the annular region. Also, an assembly of the transport-securing unit, a rolling-element cage and a plurality of rollers in pockets of the rolling-element bearing cage, where the transport-securing unit is formed separately from the rolling-element bearing cage, and where the projections extend inside the cage and limit radially inward movement of the rollers relative to the cage.
