A bearing assembly is disclosed herein. The bearing assembly includes an outer bearing ring including at least one first connection element. The assembly also includes a cap defining an axial portion and at least one radial portion defining a cavity configured to receive the outer bearing ring. The cap includes at least one second connection element configured to mate with the at least one first connection element. The cap is formed from an electrically insulating material to prevent EDM.

An electroconductive roll includes a core member, a rubber base material disposed around the core member, and a surface layer disposed around the rubber base material. The surface area of the surface layer per unit projected area is equal to or greater than 1.255, and is equal to or less than 6.635.

An insulating device for a bearing mountable within a housing, the bearing having an inner ring and an outer ring with an outer circumferential surface and opposing axial ends and a plurality of rolling elements disposed there between. The insulating device comprises: a first annular part, which is adapted to be in contact to the outer circumferential surface of the outer ring, and a second annular part, which is also adapted to be in contact to the outer circumferential surface of the outer ring. The first and second part form the insulation device which is adapted to contact, in an assembled state of the bearing in the housing, both the outer ring and the housing. The first part is thermally conductive and electrically insulating and the second part is electrically insulating and less thermally conductive than the first part or is not thermally conductive.

A bearing cover (10) has a bearing receiving space (18) for a bearing (9) and has a fastening region (17) for fastening the bearing cover (10) to a housing body (7). The bearing receiving space (18) of the bearing cover (10) is decoupled electrically from the fastening region (17) of the bearing cover (10) to prevent an undesired flow of electric current across the bearing (9).

A low friction coated article includes a first structure that has a first lubricated surface coated with a first polyelectrolyte coating. A second structure has a second lubricated surface with a second polyelectrolyte coating opposite the first lubricated surface. The first and second polyelectrolyte coatings include alternating layers of positively charged polyelectrolyte layers and negatively charged polyelectrolyte layers hydrated with a lubricant.

A rolling bearing having an annular inner ring and an annular outer ring in relative rotation around a central axis and rolling elements housed between raceways provided in the two rings. At least one of the rings includes two concentric annular ring parts made of metallic material, and an annular layer made of electrically insulating material, the layer being accommodated between the two parts.

An object is to provide an anti-electrolytic corrosion bearing that has a high dimensional accuracy of an outer cylindrical surface, and in which an axial shift due to a load is unlikely to occur and electrolytic corrosion can be favorably prevented. A configuration of an anti-electrolytic corrosion bearing (bearing 100) according to the present invention lies in that an insulating coating 110 is applied to an outer cylindrical surface 104a of an outer ring 104, and an insulating washer 120 having a ring shape that covers an end surface 104b of the outer ring 104 is provided.

A bearing including a substrate and a low friction layer, where the bearing includes an annular shape including a radial bearing portion in the form of an axially-extending base region, and an axial bearing portion in the form of a radially-extending flange, where the axial bearing portion terminates in a deep drawn axially extending lip, and at least one of a radial coining region or an axial coining region, where the radial coining region is positioned along the radially-extending flange and forms an annular depression, where the axial coining region is positioned along the axially-extending base region, and where the axial coining region is deformed so as to be non-parallel to a longitudinal axis of the bearing.
