A sprocket adjuster for adjusting a sprocket of a chain drive includes a bearing journal, which includes a free end and a fixed end, a rotary bearing arranged on the bearing journal, and a sprocket guided on the rotary bearing. The bearing journal has a first external thread region and a second external thread region, wherein a threaded nut is arranged on each of the external thread regions and by means of which the rotary bearing is clamped on the bearing journal between the external thread regions.

Bearings assemblies are provided that include polycrystalline diamond bearing surfaces that are engaged with opposing, metal bearing surfaces that include more than trace amounts of diamond solvent-catalyst. In the bearings, the opposing bearing surface is slidingly engaged with the polycrystalline diamond bearing surface along a diamond contact area of the polycrystalline diamond bearing surface, and the polycrystalline diamond bearing surface is a continuous surface along the diamond contact area. Also provided are methods of making and using the bearing assemblies.

Disclosed is a bearing configured to couple a faucet spout to a faucet body. The bearing includes a plurality of fingers extending parallel to a central axis of the bearing. The plurality of fingers is configured to engage with the faucet spout at an intermediate position between a first end of the bearing and a second end of the bearing. The fingers are configured to exert an outward pressure to the faucet spout. The fingers are also configured to compress in a substantially axial direction.

A king pin assembly for rotatably connecting a steering knuckle with an axle member may have a first king pin. The assembly may also have a first member with a first recess for receiving the first king pin. The first member may have a steering knuckle or an axle member. A portion of the first member that may enclose the first recess may have a female thread. The first king pin may have a male thread engaged with or configured to be engaged with the female thread enclosing the first recess.

An idler roller having a fixed shaft with at least one spherical bearing and a second bearing which may, but need not be, a spherical bearing. In some embodiments, the second bearing is slidably-mounted on a central shaft. A shell is mounted between these bearings. Any changes in dimensions resulting from changes in temperature may them be accommodated by sliding movement of the second bearing, sparing the shell from distortion by bending or buckling. In other exemplary embodiments, the spherical bearing includes a first housing element fixedly-mounted on a central shaft and a complementary first free element disposed against the first housing element. A second bearing element is mounted on the central shaft, and a shell is attached to the first free element and rotatably-mounted to a second bearing element with a biasing element mounted on the central shaft urging a second free element away from the first free element.
