A vehicle strut assembly includes at least a strut member, a bearing assembly, a mounting bracket and a noise isolating member. The bearing assembly encircles an upper end portion of the strut member. The mounting bracket is configured to receive the bearing assembly with mounting bracket encircling the upper end portion of the strut member and further configured to attach to a portion of a vehicle body assembly of a vehicle. The noise isolating member is installed below the mounting bracket and along a surface of the bearing assembly reducing noises transmitted from the vehicle strut assembly to the portion of the vehicle body assembly.

The invention relates to a railway axlebox bearing assembly including a radially outer mounting surface configured to be mounted so as to face a radially inner mounting surface of an axlebox housing. It is proposed to further provide the assembly with least two spacer elements configured to be mounted between the radially outer mounting surface and the mounting surface of an axlebox housing.

A vacuum pump comprises: a ball bearing which supports a rotor; a holding section which elastically holds an outer ring of the ball bearing; and a grease which is filled between the outer ring and the holding section, the grease having a consistency of NLGI No. 1.5 or less.

A center bearing bush unit for a propeller shaft can effectively decrease the amount of large/small displacement that occurs in the propeller shaft during driving of a vehicle. A center bearing bush unit for a propeller shaft includes an inner pipe; an outer pipe disposed on a common axis as the inner pipe at the outside of the inner pipe; a cushion rubber attached between the inner and outer pipes, and having a plurality of voids disposed on the common axis; and a plurality of stoppers attached to the outer circumferential surface of the inner pipe while being spaced apart from the cushion rubber at a predetermined interval.

A steering assembly includes a rack assembly coupled to a road wheel. The rack assembly includes a housing, a ball screw, a bearing, and a retainer. The housing defines an injection port. The ball screw is at least partially received within the housing. The bearing is received within the housing and rotatably supports the ball screw. The retainer is received within the housing and includes a first retainer portion and a second retainer portion. The first retainer portion cooperates with the housing. The second retainer portion extends from the first retainer portion and is spaced apart from the housing. The second retainer portion defines a channel. The channel, the second retainer portion, and a surface of the housing defines an injection pocket.

The present invention relates to a bearing assembly (10) for a drives haft system comprising a frame (12) surrounding an opening (16); a flexible vibration isolator (20) disposed in the opening (16) and a ball bearing (50) is mounted at a central opening (24) of the vibration isolator (20). The ball bearing assembly (10) comprises a spherical cup (40) is nested to a central opening (24) of the vibration isolator (20) and spherically pivoted such that in an adjustment position changing the rotational axis (x) of the ball bearing (50) by a deviation angle (a) when a rotational force is applied.

A bearing structure includes a bearing that supports a propeller shaft, an annular vibration isolating member fitted over the bearing, an outer ring attached to the vibration isolating member and having an outer-peripheral fitting surface, and a bracket attached to a vehicle body and having an inner-peripheral fitting surface that is fitted to the outer-peripheral fitting surface. Both the bracket and the outer ring are formed of an aluminum material. An anodized aluminum layer is formed on at least one of the inner-peripheral fitting surface and the outer-peripheral fitting surface. Because of the above mentioned features, the bearing structure that has a light weight and is inexpensive and productive.

A rotor support configured to rotatably mount a rotor shaft in a vacuum pump is disclosed. The rotor support comprises: a rolling bearing for rotatably supporting the shaft; an insert and at least one resilient damping member, the insert and the at least one resilient damping member surrounding the rolling bearing. The insert comprises inner and outer annular portions connected by a plurality of flexible members, the plurality of flexible members being configured to flex in a radial plane and resist movement in an axial plane, thereby absorbing radial movement of the shaft. The at least one resilient damping member is formed of an elastomeric material configured to flex in both a radial and axial direction.

A mandrel for use in a printing apparatus includes a substantially cylindrical mandrel shaft and a locking assembly including a stop ring, a locking ring, and a plurality of deformable rings which are slidably and coaxially mounted on the mandrel shaft. Each deformable ring has a cross-sectional profile in a cross-sectional plane in which the mandrel shaft axis extends, which profile includes a first arm and a second arm which are integrally connected to each other at a first connection point. The first arm and the second arms include an angle which is sharper in the unlocked position than in the locked position of the locking assembly. The first arm has a first-arm-end remote from the first connection point, which defines the outer diameter of the deformable ring. The second arm has a second-arm-end remote from the first connection point, which second-arm-end defines the inner diameter of the deformable ring.

A helical gear transmission for an electromechanical power-assisted steering mechanism includes a shaft which meshes with a helical gear. The shaft is disposed in a housing and at the first end of said shaft in a drive-side bearing assembly is mounted to rotate about a rotation axis, and at the second end of said shaft in a drive-distal bearing assembly is mounted in the housing. The drive-side bearing assembly has a fixed bearing, and the fixed bearing is enclosed by two bearing shells. On each end side of the fixed bearing one spring element is disposed between the fixed bearing and the respective bearing shell. The spring elements asymmetrically pre-load the fixed bearing such that a pivot axis about which the shaft is pivotable in the direction of the helical gear is disposed in the region of the toothing plane of the shaft and the helical gear.
