A thrust bearing having an inner cage having inner cage pockets, with inner rollers in the inner cage pockets, and a first outer cage having a larger diameter than the inner cage and having first outer cage pockets, with first outer rollers in the first outer cage pockets. The inner cage and the first outer cage are axially and radially aligned. A radially extending rim is provided on one circumferential side of one of the inner cage or the first outer cage that faces a facing circumferential side of the other of the inner cage or the first outer cage. First and second radially extending side tabs are provided on the facing circumferential side of the other of the inner cage or the first outer cage that define a circumferentially extending channel therebetween that receives the radially extending rim to connect the cages together.

A bearing cage assembly comprises multi-group rollers (2), each group has multiple rollers, and each roller is a barrel roller, multiple rollers are stacked together to form a group of rollers, and the end surfaces of each two adjacent rollers contact with each other. Multiple groups of pockets (11) are formed in the cage, and each group of pockets has multiple pockets. The pockets in any group are distributed along the circumference direction of the said cage, and a group of rollers is disposed in each pocket. Multi-group rollers can roll in circumferential direction of the cage. During the rolling process, a great number of contact points are distributed on the raceways, thus the load capacity of the bearing is improved, the friction resistance is low, suitable for the fields where high speed operation is necessary. A planar thrust bearing, a radial bearing and a conical radial-thrust bearing are provided.

A cage freewheel for installation into the clamping gap of a shaft/hub connection, in particular in an e-bike drive, includes an annular cage with, following one another in the circumferential direction, bearing rollers for mounting the hub and the shaft together, and clamping bodies arranged pivotably in the cage. The clamping bodies block a relative movement between the shaft and the hub in a frictionally locking manner in one rotational direction, and allow rotation in the other rotational direction, and are spring-loaded in the coupling direction by an annular spring which extends around the row of the clamping bodies in a slot in the radially outer surface of the clamping bodies. The bearing rollers are arranged in each case in pairs in associated pockets of the cage on both sides of the annular spring. Here, the bearing rollers are received in a positively locking manner in the associated pockets.

The rolling bearing design incorporates at least two antifriction bearings, a fixed supporting centering sleeve and a toothed cage with an extended cylindrical part, extending outside the dimensions of the bearings, and sockets in the form of a crown on both sides of the cylindrical part of the cage. The fixed supporting centering sleeve of the cage incorporates channels for oil supply to the cage. The extended cylindrical part of the cage between the adjacent bearings in the assembly can be made up of two parts with the possibility to slip relative to each other. The invention enables improvement in the reliability, wear-resistance and durability of the bearing assemblies incorporating at least two bearings, including those of different types and sizes, which operate at high speeds and are subject to significant centrifugal loads exceeding the gravity acceleration by hundred times.

A thrust bearing includes cylindrical rollers arranged circumferentially in a bearing race with their rotational axes pointing radially to the central axis of the thrust bearing and each having a contact surface extending around and lengthwise of the cylindrical roller. The rollers includes at least pairs of radially adjacent first rollers with a radially inner first roller of each pair arranged with its rotational axis in alignment with the rotational axis of a radially outer first roller of the pair. The rollers also includes second rollers with at least one such second roller being arranged between adjacent pairs of first rollers in the circumferential direction, the at least one second roller being offset in the radial direction relative to the radially outer first rollers between which it is circumferentially arranged.

A split double row spherical roller bearing comprising an outer ring including an outer race, an inner ring within the outer ring including an inner race, a cage mounted between the inner and outer races, the cage mounting rollers which engage the inner and outer races, the inner ring, inner race, outer ring, outer race, and cage each comprising two generally semicircular parts engageable together to form a circular component via respective radially extending contact surfaces, and characterized in that the contact surfaces of at least the outer ring comprise a saw-tooth arrangement in which the angle of each saw tooth joint is between 25 and 40 degrees.

The present invention relates to a guiding and centering device (10) for a forming tool (2), in particular an injection molding or die-casting tool, comprising a first mold half (1) and a second mold half (5) which are guided by guide means (7) from a closed position in which the respective separating surfaces of both mold halves (1; 5) are pressed against one another into an opened position and vice versa. This guiding and centering device (10) comprises a protruding guiding body (4) formed as a circular cylindrical bolt (12) provided at the first mold half (1), a guiding recess (6) formed as a bush (14) with an circular cylindrical inner surface (20) provided at the second mold half (5) and a rolling element cage (16) with rolling elements (17) inserted in rows (18), by means of which the two mold halves (1; 5) are guided and precisely centered in the closed position. The rolling element cage (16) is supported by the circular cylindrical inner surface (20) of the bush (14) and positioned via positioning means (30) in such a way that when closing the forming tool the circular cylindrical bolt (12) runs practically simultaneously in a first row of rolling elements (18.1) and a second row of rolling elements (18.2) of the rolling element cage (16).
