The invention relates to an exhaust gas turbocharger having a hydrodynamic plain bearing or a hydrodynamic plain bearing, comprising a rotor (10) and a counter-bearing part (50) assigned to the rotor (10), wherein a rotor bearing surface of the rotor (10) and a counterface of the counter-bearing part (50) face each other to form the hydrodynamic plain bearing in the form of a combined journal—thrust bearing, having a continuous hydrodynamically load bearing gap formed between the rotor bearing surface and the counterface, wherein the rotor bearing surface and/or the counterface, when cut longitudinally and through the axis of rotation (R) in sectional view, form(s) a bearing contour forming merging contour sections (17.1 to 17.3; 44.1 to 44.3; 53.1 to 53.3) to generate hydrodynamic load capacities in both the radial and the axial direction, wherein a contour section (17.3; 44.3; 53.3) in sectional view in a first bearing area forms a linear section that is part of a, in particular cylindrical or partially cylindrical, bearing section rotating at least sectionally about the axis of rotation (R), wherein a further contour section (17.1; 44.1; 53.1), in sectional view in a second bearing area, forms a further linear section, which is part of a further bearing area rotating at least sectionally about the axis of rotation (R), wherein this further linear section forms an angle with the axis of rotation (R), and wherein the first and the second bearing area merge via a transition section. According to the invention, a friction-optimized bearing system is to be created, which is easy to manufacture and ensures a reliable and effective bearing arrangement even under highly dynamic loads. According to the invention, this is achieved by the further linear section forming an angle in the range from >30° to <90° with the axis of rotation (R).

A bearing device, a compressor and a method, in which a first radial bearing element is measured in at least the radial direction, an axial distance of the first axial bearing element from the first radial bearing element being measured, the second radial bearing element being measured in at least the radial direction, the first radial bearing element being positioned with respect to the second radial bearing element as a function of the predefined first width of the radial gap, the adjustment arrangement being situated in such a way that the axial gap has the predefined second width.

A magnetic bearing having a first bearing ring and a second bearing ring arranged concentrically in relation to the first bearing ring. The first bearing ring and the second bearing ring are mounted so as to be rotatable with respect to each other about an axis of rotation by means of electromagnets. The first bearing ring has a first magnet row and a second magnet row. The magnet rows each include electromagnets arranged at a distance from one another in a circumferential direction of the first bearing ring. The electromagnets of the magnet rows are oriented such that they can each exert a magnetic force on the second bearing ring, which magnetic force is oriented transversely to the axis of rotation and transversely to a radial plane which is arranged perpendicularly to the axis of rotation.

A socket joint and method of manufacture where a sealing ring is used to seat a fully elastomeric flange of a dust boot. The sealing ring has a planar sealing surface that extends between an inner diameter edge and an outer diameter edge, and the planar sealing surface rests against the elastomeric top edge of the flange and the inner diameter edge rests against a stud of the socket joint to seat the dust boot and seal the assembly. The housing of the socket joint includes a number of features within the internal bore to improve manufacturing and enhance the interference fit of the sealing ring.

A nacelle for a wind turbine includes a nacelle housing; a rotor hub; a rotor bearing for bearing the rotor hub on the nacelle housing, wherein the rotor bearing has at least one inner ring element and at least one outer ring element, wherein at least one sliding bearing element is formed between the inner ring element and the outer ring element. The sliding bearing element is inseparably connected to the inner ring element or the sliding bearing element is inseparably connected to the outer ring element.

A rotor bearing for bearing a rotor hub on a nacelle housing of a nacelle for a wind turbine has at least one inner ring element and at least one outer ring element, wherein at least one sliding bearing element is arranged between the inner ring element and the outer ring element, which sliding bearing element is fastened to the inner ring element or to the outer ring element. On the sliding bearing element, a sliding surface is formed, which cooperates with a counterface, which is coupled with that ring element, to which the sliding bearing element is not fastened. The counterface is designed to be resilient.
