A lock nut and tang washer mechanism preloads and locks components in a rotating environment. A drive system mechanism preloads and locks the device in a rotating environment and provides a double locking safety requirement needed in most aircraft for applications operating in an enclosed environment. The mechanism holds a required torque for the duration of the drive system operating life without the need for periodic visual inspections.

A rotor bearing assembly for an underwater generator of a fluid flow power plant includes a hollow cylindrical bearing carrier configured to be inserted into an interior of a rotor and releasably connected to the rotor such that they rotate together and an axle journal extending into an interior of the bearing carrier and rotatably supporting the bearing carrier. The bearing the axle journal and the bearing carrier are configured as an installation unit such that a portion of the bearing carrier is insertable into the rotor interior and removable from the rotor interior while attached to the axle journal. Also a generator including the rotor bearing assembly.

A double-row rolling-element bearing unit of a medical pump, preferably syringe pump, has a bearing core forming a first inner running surface for first rolling elements, which first inner running surface faces in an axial direction, and forms a second inner running surface for second rolling elements, which second inner running surface is arranged oppositely to the first inner running surface in the axial direction. The pump has a bearing bush, which can be mounted on a housing portion and forms a first outer running surface, which lies opposite the first inner running surface, and the pump has a bearing pan, which forms a second outer running surface, which lies opposite the second inner running surface. At least one preloading element couples the bearing pan to the bearing bush with a defined preload to join the double-row rolling-element bearing unit as a unit.

A bearing lubrication system includes a bearing assembly comprising a duplex bearing including an outer ring, an inner ring positioned radially inward from the outer ring, and two sets of circumferentially distributed rolling elements between the inner and outer rings. The bearing assembly further includes a housing radially surrounding the duplex bearing and including a lubricant flow passage in fluid communication with a source of lubricant. A flow orifice is located downstream of the lubricant flow passage for jetting the lubricant into the duplex bearing. The flow orifice has an axial location between the two sets of rolling elements.

A wheelset bearing for a rail vehicle includes a rolling bearing assembly (7) with three bearing rings (4, 8, 9), specifically two inner rings (4, 8) provided for connection to a wheelset shaft (2) and one outer ring (9) provided for connection to a housing (6). The rolling bearing assembly (7) is designed as a quadruple-row angular contact ball bearing in an O arrangement, and two rolling element rows (16, 17) are provided contacting a first inner ring (4) in order to absorb axial forces in a first direction and two rolling element rows (18, 19) are provided contacting a second inner ring (8) in order to absorb forces in the opposite axial direction. A rail vehicle with such an arrangement is also provided.

A motor vehicle drive wheel assembly comprising a fixed subassembly comprising two outer raceways; a rotating subassembly comprising a wheel hub, two inner raceways and two rows of rolling bodies that are arranged in two pitch planes PP1 and PP2. One of the inner raceways is formed on a rolling bearing ring that bears against a transmission bowl at an annular contact interface situated between the two pitch planes.

A gearbox including an angular contact ball bearing comprising a first row of balls provided with a plurality of balls, a second row of balls provided with another plurality of balls, at least one inner ring and at least one outer ring. According to the invention, in a degraded operating mode of the bearing, the first row of balls is configured to transmit at least one first axial force oriented along a first axis and at least one second axial force oriented along a second axis opposite the first axis, the second row of balls transmitting no axial force.
