The present disclosure is directed to a bearing for a wind turbine. The bearing includes an outer race, an inner race, and a radially-split center race configured between the inner race and the outer race. Further, the center race includes a first race portion and a separate second race portion. In addition, the first and second race portions are arranged together in an axial direction. The bearing also includes a first set of rolling elements positioned between the inner race and the center race and a second set of rolling elements positioned between the center race and the outer race.

A telescoping tool includes a pole assembly, a driveshaft, a plurality of bearings, and at least one connection member. The pole assembly includes an outer pole and an inner pole. The inner pole is slidably received in the outer pole. The pole assembly is movable between a retracted configuration and an extended configuration. The driveshaft extends longitudinally in the outer pole and the inner pole. Each bearing of the plurality of bearings includes a driveshaft passage defined therein. The driveshaft passage receives the driveshaft therethrough. Each bearing further includes an end connection passage defined therein. The at least one connection member joins adjacent bearings of the plurality of bearings. The at least one connection member is disposed in the end connection passage of each of the adjacent bearings.

A thrust bearing has an outer race and an inner race arranged for rotation relative to the outer race about an axis of rotation. Multiple rolling elements are positioned between the inner and outer races. A cage is positioned between the inner and outer races and configured to engage with the rolling elements to align the rolling elements into multiple rows, with the rows circumferentially spaced apart from one another.

A planar high-density ball bearing comprises a cage and balls; the cage is provided with multiple groups of ball holes for arranging the balls; the ball holes in each group are distributed in the circumferential direction of the cage in an ellipse; the centers of the ellipses in each of which a group of ball holes is distributed coincide with each other, the major axes of the ellipses lie in a common line. The ball holes in adjacent groups are arranged to be staggered in relative to each other in the circumferential direction of the cage, and the balls in the same group of the ball holes are distributed in an ellipse. A method for manufacturing the planar high-density ball bearing, nutation reducer are provided.
