A bearing retainer for use in a bearing is provided. The bearing includes an inner ring, rolling elements and an outer ring. The bearing retainer has a body. The body defines an inner periphery and an outer periphery of the body. The body further defines a plurality of openings extending from the inner periphery to the outer periphery of the body. The plurality of openings are adapted to retain the rolling elements in a spaced apart relationship. The body further defines opposed faces extending from the inner periphery to the outer periphery of the body. The body further defines a plurality of face pockets formed in at least one of the faces of the body. The face pockets are adapted to storing lubrication. The body further includes a pathway from at least one face pocket of the body to the inner periphery of the body.

An intermediate bearing for a drive shaft train of a motor vehicle has an elastic bearing body which has a bore and a supporting ring which is arranged in the bore and has a receiving space for receiving an anti-friction bearing. The receiving space defines a longitudinal axis, and two sealing washers which are spaced apart axially from one another and have in each case one central opening for receiving a drive component. The supporting ring is arranged between the two sealing washers. The sealing washers have in each case one groove which extends concentrically with respect to the longitudinal axis. The supporting ring engages into the two grooves of the sealing washers.

An all-terrain vehicle includes a frame; a cab located in the middle of the frame; a front axle located in front of the cab; a power assembly located behind the cab; and a transmission structure coupled to the front axle and the power assembly, and comprising a front transmission shaft, a rear transmission shaft, and an intermediate transmission component, the intermediate transmission component having a first end coupled to the front transmission shaft and a second end coupled to the rear transmission shaft; an end, away from the intermediate transmission component, of the front transmission shaft being coupled to the front axle, and an end, away from the intermediate transmission component, of the rear transmission shaft being coupled to the power assembly; and a connection point between the intermediate transmission component and the front transmission shaft being located in front of the cab.

A drivetrain for a horizontal axis wind turbine includes a main shaft, and a main bearing housing having a main body at least partly enclosing the main shaft and extending from a first end to a second end, a distance from the second end to the rotor attachment flange being larger than a distance from the first end to the rotor attachment flange. The main bearing housing: carries the main shaft via a first bearing and a second bearing, a distance between the second bearing and the rotor attachment flange being larger than a distance between the first bearing and the rotor attachment flange; has a first seat for the first bearing, and a second seat for the second bearing; and includes a seat flange extending from the main body at least partly radially inwards, the second seat being located on a distal end of the seat flange.

The invention relates to a bearing cover (3) for a split bearing arrangement (1) which comprises a bearing block (2) in addition to the bearing cover (3), and the bearing cover (3) has clamping surfaces (4) which lie against co-operating clamping surfaces (5) of the bearing block (2) when the bearing arrangement (1) is in the assembled state, and a first radially inner bearing support surface (12) having an at least approximately curved cross-section as viewed in the axial direction is provided between the two clamping surfaces (4). An additional surface (15) is provided between at least one of the clamping surfaces (4) and the first radially inner bearing support surface (12) which directly adjoins the first radially inner bearing support surface (12) and clamping surface (4) and which is disposed at an obtuse angle (16) to the first radially inner bearing support surface (12) and at an acute angle (17) to the clamping surface (5).

A carrier bearing assembly can include a bracket comprising a first end, a second end, a first face extending between the first end and the second end width, and a second face opposite the first face. An opening can be formed completely through the bracket and extend from the first face to the second face. A bearing can be disposed within the opening and an angle between a centerline of the bearing and a centerline of the bracket can be in a range of 85-89 or 91-95. First and second mounting structures offset from the opening can be for coupling the carrier bearing assembly to the frame of the UTV, and the centerline of the bracket can pass through a center of the first mounting structure and a center of the second mounting structure.

The present invention is directed to devices for protection of the bottom center portion of skateboard platforms when used obliquely on upstanding structural edges, as when grinding. A roller assembly of the present invention may have an elongated bearing shaft rotatably positioned at each end in spaced apart bearings that are attached to the bottom surface of a skateboard platform. Optional variations and surface treatments of the bearing shaft are also disclosed.

A wind turbine bearing system for a rotating main shaft of a wind turbine includes a double-row tapered roller bearing assembly (64) having a one-piece inner race element. The inner race element defines first and second inner raceways. The roller bearing assembly further includes first and second sets of tapered rollers seated within the corresponding first and second inner raceways. The bearing assembly also includes a two-piece outer race element, each piece of the two-piece outer race element defining a respective outer raceway. Each piece of the two-piece outer race element has a cylindrical outer diameter defining an outer contact surface. The system further includes a pillow block housing assembly that defines a cylindrical inner diameter (46) substantially matched to the outer contact surfaces (144,148) of the pieces of the two-piece outer race element to define an interface between the pillow block housing assembly and the bearing assembly.

Bearing housing including a housing element designed to be adapted to receive internally a bearing, and a fastening base or flange to a frame of machinery provided with through holes for screws or bolts and having a shoulder face intended to go into use in contact against the frame of the machine equipment, the face of the shoulder being traversed by through holes. The housing element is made of a synthetic molded plastic material and the base or flange has its shoulder face covered by a layer of elastomeric material which has been molded integrally fixed in one piece with the base or flange.
