Disclosed herein is a bearing assembly for a vehicle steering apparatus, which includes a bearing including an inner ring fastened to a rack bar, an outer ring disposed outside the inner ring with a ball interposed therebetween, and a sealing member provided between the inner ring and the outer ring, and an elastic clip including a body pressed against an outer peripheral surface of the outer ring, fastening portions bent toward sides of the outer ring from both ends of the body, and elastic portions extending from respective ends of the fastening portions and protruding laterally of the outer ring to each have a curvature.

A method for servicing a gas turbine engine includes providing access from a forward section of the gas turbine engine to a gearbox contained within a bearing compartment.

A vehicle steering device includes a turning shaft held in a housing so as to be movable in the axial direction, a ball screw transmitting drive force produced by an electric motor to the turning shaft, a bearing supporting a nut, which is a component of the ball screw, so as to be rotatable relative to the housing, and annular elastic members that support side faces of the bearing in the axial direction of the turning shaft across the entire circumference, and are formed of an elastic material. The elastic members include respective first elastic portions having a first load characteristic that gently increases the ratio of compression load per a unit compression amount deforming in the axial direction of the turning shaft, and respective second elastic portions having a second load characteristic that keenly increases the ratio in comparison with the first load characteristic.

A radial ventilator (1) has a base part (2), a housing part (4), with a discharge 33, placed on the base part (2), a motor electronics unit (98), and an internal rotor electric motor. The motor drives a ventilator wheel (3) via a shaft (7). The motor electronics unit (98) and a stator (32) of the electric motor are encapsulated by an extrusion coating (17) in the base part (2) and together form an integral one-piece structural unit. The radial ventilator (1) has a pressure chamber (D) enlarging in a spiral shape around the ventilator wheel (3). The pressure chamber (D) is formed and defined by the housing part (4) and the extrusion coating (17).

A self-governing bearing assembly is disclosed. The self-governing bearing assembly includes a stator and a rotor. The stator includes a brake contacting surface. The stator is one of an outer ring and an inner ring. The rotor includes the other of the outer ring and the inner ring, brake pads, and a circular spring. The brake pads are positioned radially from the brake contacting surface and adapted to rotate with the other of the outer ring and the inner ring. Each of the brake pads includes a pad retention slot. The circular spring is positioned within the pad retention slot of each of the brake pads. The bearing elements are axially aligned with a first bearing portion of the stator and a second bearing portion of the rotor. The bearing elements are adapted to rotationally support the rotor relative to the stator.

A washer includes a first portion with a first spring rate and a second portion with a second spring rate different from the first spring rate edge.

A bearing system for a turbocharger includes a bearing housing having a first end and a second end, with the bearing housing defining a central passageway. A first ball bearing and a second ball bearing are received by the bearing housing. The second ball bearing is spaced from the first ball bearing. The first and second ball bearings are each preloaded.

A steering bearing for bearing a steering column of a motor vehicle, including an inner ring and an outer ring having respective raceways on which balls roll, the outer ring being enclosed by a sleeve in which a spring ring is arranged. The spring ring tensions the balls against the respective raceways and the balls roll on said spring ring.

A bearing assembly comprises a cone member configured to receive rollers therein. A bearing cup is configured for receipt of the cone member therein and for rolling contact with the rollers thereon. A bearing cup pocket extends circumferentially about the rear face of the bearing cup and that is configured to receive a biasing member therein.

The invention relates to an axial spring element (6) having two peripheral ring elements (61, 62) that are spaced from one another in the axial direction and are connected to one another in a spring-elastic manner, wherein at least one of the ring elements (61) comprises one or more retaining elements (64) in order to brace the spring element with a rotor (5) and thereby hold the spring element on the rotor (5).
