A thrust bearing assembly comprises a cage including an annular portion. A first flange extends axially from an inner peripheral edge of the annular portion, and a second flange extends axially from an outer peripheral edge of the annular portion. A first plurality of roller pockets are defined by the annular portion, the first roller pockets of the first plurality of roller pockets being spaced evenly about the annular portion. A second plurality of roller pockets are defined by the annular portion, the second roller pockets of the second plurality of roller pockets being evenly spaced about the annular portion so that each second roller pocket is disposed between adjacent first roller pockets.

A thrust roller bearing includes a plurality of radially arranged rollers, and a pair of annular washers having raceway surfaces on which the rollers roll, the raceway surfaces being arranged to face each other. The roller is made of high-carbon chromium bearing steel, and contains 1.1 mass % to 1.6 mass % of carbon and 0.1 mass % to 0.6 mass % of nitrogen in a range of 0.1 mm from a surface. A surface compressive residual stress is smaller than −900 MPa, a surface roughness is 0.01 to 0.10 in terms of Rvk and 0.01 to 0.08 in terms of Rk, and a Vickers hardness of the surface is 860 to 980. At least one of the washers is made of carbon steel, and surface roughnesses of the raceway surfaces are 0.05 to 0.20 in terms of Rvk and 0.08 to 0.15 in terms of Rk.

A fastening tool includes a bolt-gripping part, an anvil, a bolt-gripping-part driving mechanism, a motor, a housing, and thrust rolling bearings. The bolt-gripping-part driving mechanism includes a first mechanism part supported by the housing and a second mechanism part connected to the bolt-gripping part. The second mechanism part is configured to be driven in a longitudinal-axis direction by the first mechanism part being rotationally driven, so that the bolt-gripping part is moved in the longitudinal-axis direction relative to the anvil. The thrust rolling bearings are disposed on a first direction side and a second direction side of the first mechanism part, respectively.

An electromechanical brake pressure generator including a spindle drive unit for converting a rotational motion of an electric motor-driven drive shaft into a translatory motion of a piston that is coupled to the spindle drive unit, the spindle drive unit being operatively connected to the drive shaft via a multi-stage transmission. The multi-stage transmission is a planetary gear set having a first and a second stage. With the aid of the transmission, a spindle or a spindle nut of the spindle drive unit is drivable, which is rotatably mounted in a housing of the brake pressure generator via a bearing assembly receiving axial and radial forces. A braking system for a vehicle including an electromechanical brake pressure generator is also described.

An axial bearing is designed to work in a liner hangar in which radial package space is at a premium. Rollers axially separate two washers. To hold the bearing together prior to installation, a sleeve radially surrounds the rollers and has tabs which fit into circumferential grooves in the washers. The sleeve may be metal or plastic.

A launch device for rotationally coupling a prime mover to a transmission. The launch device includes a front and rear cover cooperating to define a chamber into which a plurality of blades extend forming an impeller. Located in the chamber and fluidically coupled to and rotationally driven by the impeller is a turbine. One or more roller bearings support the turbine and the rear cover for rotation about a central axis. The bearings include inner and outer members supporting the roller elements. A retention feature is further provided to aid in installation and retention of a support component with the bearing. The retention feature allows relative movement in an axial direction of assembly until the bearing and support components are fully engaged, but inhibits relative movement of the bearing and support components in an opposing axial direction.

The invention relates to a rolling bearing, in particular a center-free large rolling bearing, comprising two concentric races, of which one race has a groove open toward the other race and the other race has a lug ring, which engages in said groove, the lug ring being supported on the groove by means of at least two thrust bearings and at least one radial bearing, said axial bearings being designed as roller bearings, all the radial bearings being designed as ball bearings.
