A wheel bearing device has a vehicle-body-mounting flange 5b with a plurality of ears 10 discontinuously formed in a circumferential direction on an outer circumferential surface of the outer member 5. An outer circumferential surface 11 on the outer side of the outer member is tapered and formed such that a diameter of the outer member gradually decreases in a direction to an outer side. Ridges 16 protrude from a fitting surface 12 toward the outside in a radial direction. The ridges 16 are formed between the plurality of ears 10. The ridges 16 are forged to smoothly connect to the outer circumferential surfaces of the plurality of ears 10. Ribs 15 are forged on inner-side outer circumferential surfaces of the plurality of ears 10.

A bearing assembly includes an outer race, an inner race, a bearing interface, and a nut. The outer race has a head end and a base end. The head end includes a flange having a countersink lip formed on an underside of the flange. The outer race includes an externally threaded portion terminating at the base end. The inner race is circumscribed by the outer race. The bearing interface is located between and rotatably couples the inner race to the outer race. The nut is configured to be threadably engaged to the externally threaded portion.

A propeller blade comprises a fibre reinforced blade structure spar having a blade retention section formed at one end thereof, and at least one metallic formation spray deposited onto said blade retention section.

The invention relates to a slewing bearing that includes an inner ring, an outer ring, at least one row of rolling elements arranged between the rings in order to form an axial thrust that transmits axial forces, and at least one row of rolling elements arranged between the rings in order to form a radial thrust which can transmit radial forces. The slewing bearing further includes a sensing probe for detecting a relative displacement between the inner ring and outer ring and/or cracks, the inner ring having a through hole in which the sensing probe arranged. The through hole has a probe positioning element provided with a positioning portion and a support portion on which the sensing probe is supported so as to face the outer ring.

A wheel hub assembly includes inner and outer hubs rotatably coupled by first and second ballsets of rollers. A plurality of sensors for sensing strain within the outer hub generated by the ballsets are disposed on exterior mounting surface sections. These surface sections are located at radial spacing distances within empirically derived radial boundaries to prevent interference from one ballset affecting the measurements taken by sensors monitoring the other ballset. To prevent excessive distortion of strain measurements taken through the outer hub, a certain amount of hub material is required to smooth signals generated by the first and second rollers passing proximal to each sensor, thus affecting the radial location of the mounting surfaces. Further, the sensor mounting surface sections are also located within empirically derived axial boundaries determined to enable each sensor to sense strain from one ballset while avoiding the detection of strain generated by the other ballset.

Construction is achieved by which it is possible definitely prevent the occurrence of creep between a pulley 2b and an outer ring 7f. Trapezoidal shaped concave sections are formed such that the angle of intersection θ between the inside surfaces 23 on both sides of each concave section 17a of knurling 19a of the outer ring 7f is within the range 45°≦θ≦120°. Moreover, the depth h in the radial direction of the concave sections 17a and the diameter D of the circumscribed circle of the tip end surfaces 22 of the convex sections 18a are regulated so as to satisfy the relationship 0.004D≦h≦0.015D, and the length L in the circumferential direction of the bottom surface 21 of the concave sections 17a is regulated within the range 0.01D≦L≦0.03D.

A bearing device includes a bearing having an outer race with double-row outer raceway surfaces formed on its inner periphery, a hub wheel and an inner race having double-row inner raceway surfaces formed on outer peripheries thereof opposed to the outer raceway surfaces, and double-row rolling elements interposed between the outer and inner raceway surfaces. The bearing has a constant velocity universal joint separably coupled thereto with a screw fastening structure, in which a stem section of an outer joint member of the constant velocity universal joint is fitted to an inner diameter portion of the hub wheel, and in which a plurality of convex portions extending in an axial direction are formed on the stem section, and a plurality of concave portions having an interference with respect to only circumferential side wall portions of each of the plurality of convex portions are formed on the hub wheel.

A turbocharger is provided including a turbine, a compressor and a bearing housing. A shaft is rotatably disposed within the bearing housing and extends into the turbine and the compressor. A bearing arrangement is disposed between the shaft and the bearing. The bearing arrangement includes a roller bearing formed between an outer bearing race element disposed in the bearing bore, and an inner bearing race element disposed in the outer bearing race element. A bearing retainer connected between the bearing housing and the compressor. An end portion of the bearing inner race element includes an integral oil slinger comprising a radially outward extending portion that slopes away from the shaft.

A ball bearing and housing assembly includes a shaft having a stepped bore extending therethrough. The stepped bore is defined by a first bore segment having an inboard cylindrical interior surface that has a first bore diameter. The first bore segment extends from a shaft end and terminates at a shoulder. The shoulder is axially located between a first radial centerline of a plurality of balls and an inner axial end. The stepped bore is further defined by a second bore segment having an outboard cylindrical interior surface that has second bore diameter. The second bore segment extends axially from the inner axial end towards the shaft end and terminates at the shoulder. The second bore diameter is greater than the first bore diameter. A fastener is fitted through the first bore segment and threaded into a housing.
