There is provided a wheel bearing sealing arrangement for a wheel bearing of a vehicle, comprising an outboard bearing having an outboard periphery intended to face away from a central longitudinal axis of the vehicle and an inboard periphery intended to face towards the central longitudinal axis of the vehicle, wherein the outboard bearing comprises a first race-forming part and a second race-forming part which surrounds the first race-forming part; an outboard seal arranged between the first race-forming part and an opposite part; and a safety washer pressed against the outboard periphery of the first race-forming part, wherein the outboard seal comprises a sealing part pressed against and in direct contact with the safety washer. There is also provided a vehicle comprising such a wheel bearing sealing arrangement.

A maintenance-free bearing system having self-lubricating features, seals, grooves and slots for use in a cushion hitch assembly for a hitch pull scraper vehicle. An interconnected bearing linkage system having two or more horizontal two-axis combined journal and thrust bearings with self-lubricating liners therein, two or more vertical single-axis sleeve bearings with self-lubricating liners therein and one or more vertical thrust bearing with self-lubricating liners therein, that cooperate with one another to accommodate vertical and horizontal angular movement relative to one another. The vertical thrust bearings incorporate an outer seal assembly and/or an inner seal assembly with a tapered configuration that improves retention of the seal assembly during rotation.

An example bushing of a hydraulic hammer tool includes an outer region and an inner region. The inner region has a relatively greater hardness than the outer region. The inner region may also be compressively stressed, while the outer region may have tensile stress. The stress and/or hardness profile of the bushing may enhance its resistance to wear and galling defects when a hammer of the hydraulic hammer tool is held in alignment by the bushing. The outer region of the bushing may be relatively soft, resulting in the bushing having a relatively high level of toughness. The bushing may be formed using medium to high carbon steel by rough forming the bushing, hardening the bushing, tempering the bushing, and induction softening the outer region of the bushing.

A transfer case includes a mainshaft, an oil distribution device, and a lubricating pump, with the lubricating pump having a pumpshaft offset from the axis of the mainshaft. The transfer case includes a rear housing in which the lubricating pump housing is disposed in radially offset location, where lubricating oil is drawn via suction to the pump housing from a sump at the bottom of the transfer case. The pump pressurizes the oil and delivers the oil via passageways extending between the radially offset pump and the oil distribution device, which surrounds the mainshaft. The passageways may be provided in a manifold block that is fixed to the housing. The manifold block may provide an anti-rotation feature to the oil distribution device, such that drag on the oil distribution device caused by rotation of the mainshaft is counteracted.

A cartridge pin assembly in a track chain assembly includes a sleeve bearing having a flared end.

The slide-out roller consists of an inner thermoplastic core and a semi-rigid over-molded urethane cover with the Inner core having two sets of radially spaced recessed channels formed in its outer surface. The over-molded cover wraps the outer surface of the inner core and fully impregnates the recessed channels, which allows the cover to interdigitate and structurally integrate with the inner core to prevent slippage and drift.

The invention relates to an indirect rear viewing system for a motor vehicle having a supporting element for fastening at least one reflective element, wherein the supporting element has a coupling region for a position variable fastening/attachment to an adjusting element, which in turn can be attached to the vehicle, wherein the coupling region contacts a counter contact regions, of the adjusting element, wherein interlocking anti rotation means are present on the supporting element and on the adjusting element, wherein the anti rotation means are forming an index geometry, which, in a first operating state, permits an adjustment of the supporting element relative to the adjusting element about two axes of rotation, which are transverse to one another, and, in at least a second operating state, permits a basic position change of the supporting element relative to the adjusting element about a third axis of rotation which is aligned transversely to the two other axes of rotation.

The invention relates to an indirect rear view system for a motor vehicle, having a bearing element for fastening at least one reflection element, wherein the bearing element forms a coupling region for variable-position attachment to a vehicle-attachable adjustment element, wherein the coupling region for contacting a spherical connection region of the adjustment element has a first contact area and a second contact area axially offset with respect thereto wherein an imaginary separation surface extends through the region of transition of a main body of the bearing element into the coupling region of the bearing element, wherein the first contact area is arranged on one side of the imaginary separation surface and the second contact area is arranged on the opposite other side of the imaginary separation surface. The invention also relates to an assembly method for coupling a bearing element of the indirect rear view system according to the invention to the adjustment element, wherein the bearing element is moved from the direction of the reflection element towards the adjustment element.

A levitating bicycle hub coupling structure using a magnet in the internal contact structure is provided. The levitating bicycle hub coupling structure in which a non-contact type structure in a levitated form is provided to reduce friction enables the position of a hub inner shaft member for transmitting the load of a user to an inner bearing part to be changed to an upper or lower preset position, and fixes the shaft member 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.

The invention relates to an expansion sleeve (10), the sleeve being configured to be arranged on an axle (110) to secure the axle in a hole (4), the sleeve comprising: a first and second section (20, 30) with a first and second outer diameter (D11, D2); wherein the first section has a conical shape with a tapering inner wall (22), and an outer wall (24) configured to abut an inner wall of the hole, the second section being configured to axially abut a fastening device (130) arranged at an end of the axle, wherein the second outer diameter is smaller than the first outer diameter, and wherein the second section comprises an inner wall (32) extending with an angle relative the axial direction (A) of the sleeve which is smaller than the angle (β) of the tapering inner wall of the first section.
