Alternatively or additionally, the cage includes at least one elongated projection extending radially inwardly from the inner circumferential surface or radially outwardly from the outer circumferential surface and extending axially between the first axial end and the second axial end. The projection(s) are each configured to direct liquid to flow axially through the bearing when the cage rotates about the centerline.

A differential transmission includes a pin-gear type main body unit with a pin-gear type main body housing in which input or output is performed through a plurality of pins rotatably coupled in a circumferential direction of an outer circumferential surface thereof, a high-speed shaft provided at one side of the pin-gear type main body housing and through which input or output of a relatively high speed is performed, a low-speed shaft provided at the other side of the pin-gear type main body housing and through which input or output of a speed that is less than the relatively high speed is performed, and a reduction portion inside the pin-gear type main body housing and reducing an input speed; and a high-speed shaft connection unit connected to the high-speed shaft of the pin-gear type main body unit and through which input or output is performed through the high-speed shaft.

A compliant foil radial bearing (100) comprising: a bushing (110) comprising a bore defined therethrough; a spring foil (120, 130) arranged to conform to a radially inner surface of the bushing; a fluid foil (140, 150) arranged to conform to a radially inner surface of the spring foil for rotatably receiving a rotor, wherein: the radially inner surface of the bore comprises a plurality of axially oriented pads arranged around the circumference thereof.

A thrust air bearing includes a plurality of foil units arranged in a circle. Each foil unit includes a top foil portion, and a bump foil portion integrally provided with the top foil portion and disposed opposite the top foil portion in a circumferential direction forming the circle. The foil unit is disposed such that the top foil portion lies on top of the bump foil portion of another adjacent foil unit.

According to the present invention, foreign substances, such as external dust and the like, can be prevented from being introduced into a lubricating fluid inside a bearing, so that the extension of the durability life of a motor or fan motor can be expected and once the assembly of a rotor assembly is completed, an impeller and a stator assembly can be assembled even in a non-clean room environment, thereby reducing cost and time in an assembly process, and because a sealing protrusion can block external foreign substances in a state in which the sealing protrusion is located radially inside a sleeve than the outer diameter of the sleeve, the design of a stator core can be made more freely, and it can be applied in even a case where the inner diameter of the stator core is small and the thickness of the stator core is large.

A cutting bur assembly including a cutting head with a head shaft extending therefrom. The cutting head and the head shaft are rotatable by a motor. A tube with the head shaft is rotatably mounted therein. The head shaft extends out from within the tube to locate the cutting head beyond a distal end of the tube. A plurality of bearing rollers are in direct cooperation with an outer surface of the head shaft such that upon rotation of the head shaft the plurality of bearing rollers roll along the outer surface. An outer bearing race surrounds the plurality of bearing rollers and the head shaft to retain the plurality of bearing rollers in cooperation with the head shaft.

The radial foil bearing (3, 3A, 3B, 3D) includes: a wave sheet-shaped back foil (11); and an intermediate foil (10) supported by the back foil, and the intermediate foil includes a flat portion (10b) facing a hill part (11c) of a wave sheet shape of the back foil, and a protruding part (39, 40, 40a, 40b, 40B) protruding toward the back foil via branching at a position in a circumferential direction between a top of at least one hill part and a top of a hill part adjacent to the one hill part in the wave sheet shape of the back foil.

A gas turbine engine component includes a first member, a second member rotatable relative to the first member about an axis, and a seal assembly that includes a seal supported by the first member and a seal runner that rotates with the second member relative to the seal. The seal runner includes at least one internal passage to direct cooling fluid flow through the seal runner. A restriction is associated with the at least one internal passage to restrict flow through the at least one internal passage in response to an engine condition.

A thrust supporting apparatus includes: a thrust runner configured to rotate integrally with a shaft; and a foil thrust bearing supporting an axial load of the shaft, the axial load being transmitted from the thrust runner. The foil thrust bearing includes a top foil facing a first surface of the thrust runner, and the thrust runner comprises first one or more grooves formed on the first surface.

A bearing assembly for supporting a drive shaft of an electric drive motor includes at least one inner ring, at least one outer ring, and a plurality of rolling elements disposed between the inner ring and the outer ring. The bearing assembly is an angular contact ball bearing, and the plurality of rolling elements include a first row of rolling elements and a second row of rolling elements. Also a shaft assembly supported by the bearing assembly and an electric motor including the shaft assembly.
