A cage segment defines a single pocket of a multipart rolling-element bearing cage and includes first and second circumferentially spaced side walls connected by first and second end walls. The first and second side walls and the first and second end walls are formed by at least one sheet metal segment connected at at least one joint.

A single-pocket cage segment of a multipart rolling-element bearing cage includes first and second side walls connected by first and second end walls. At least one of the first and second side walls or at least one of the first and second end walls is a semi-finished profile. The semi-finished profile may include a longitudinal channel in which a portion of an auxiliary body and/or a portion of a connector may be inserted.

A thrust bearing cage includes a piloting feature to radially locate a thrust bearing with respect to one of the shafts. Specifically, the bearing cage includes an axial extension at an outer diameter that extends beyond the rollers and around an outer diameter of end of the shaft. This feature permits elimination of a washer.

A bearing unit comprising a radially outer ring having a radially outer spherical surface with a convex shape, a radially inner ring mounted on a rotating or oscillating shaft, and a plurality of rolling bodies interposed between the radially outer ring and the radially inner ring to allow the relative rotation of the radially inner ring and outer ring; a locking system for locking the bearing unit being provided with two threaded through holes that are made through the radially inner ring from opposite sides with respect to the radially outer ring and to the plurality of rolling bodies, and, for each threaded through hole with a respective grub screw locking the radially inner ring on the shaft.

A pivot cradle bearing system includes a curved cage segment in which rolling elements are guided, which are arranged between two bearing parts which can be pivoted relative to each other. A synchronization device, which is designed for the synchronization of the relative movement of the bearing parts with the displacement of the cage segment, comprises a pivot arm, which is mounted in the cage segment. A ball-and-socket joint, by means of which a snap-action connection is formed, is provided to support the pivot arm in the cage segment.

A segment bearing device for supporting a first bearing partner relative to a second bearing partner about a pivot axis (S) includes a plurality of rolling elements, a segment cage for receiving the rolling elements, and a partial shell, the partial shell providing a race for the rolling elements. At least one of the plurality of rolling elements is arranged as a mounting rolling element in a first partial circle (TK1) in an operating state of the segment bearing device, and is held in a second partial circle (TK2) in a mounted state of the segment bearing device. The common center point of the partial circles (TK1, TK2) is defined by a center of curvature of the segment cage, and the first partial circle (TK1) has a smaller diameter than the second partial circle (TK2).

In a tapered roller bearing, a large-diameter-side annular portion includes large-diameter-side pocket surfaces opposed to the large end surfaces of the respective tapered rollers; and oil retaining recesses each having an opening spanning the inner peripheral surface of the large-diameter-side annular portion and each of the large-diameter-side pocket surfaces. Each oil retaining recess has an inner surface having a radially inwardly facing surface portion, the radially inwardly facing portion being an inclined surface radially inwardly inclined toward the corresponding tapered roller.

A rolling bearing provides a first ring and a second ring capable of rotating concentrically relative to one another, at least one row of radial rolling elements radially interposed between raceways of the rings, and at least one row of axial rolling elements axially interposed between raceways of the rings. The rolling bearing further provides, axially on each side, at least one row of rolling elements radially interposed between raceways of the first and second rings.
