The invention relates to a bearing arrangement (1) comprising a bearing cover (3) and a bearing block (2) fitting onto the latter, which bearing block in the area of the bearing cover (3) comprises a recess (9) in which the bearing cover (3) can be arranged and which comprises vertical deformation elements (15) with a longitudinal extension (19), wherein the vertical deformation elements (15) have a greater degree of plastic deformability than the bearing block (2).

A wearable device includes a frame, two feet, and two pivoting modules. Each of the pivoting modules includes a first bracket fixedly connected to the frame, and a second bracket fixedly connected to one of the feet and pivotally coupled to the first bracket. The second bracket includes a positioning member and an inserting member. The positioning member is located in the first bracket, and the positioning member includes a plurality of slots. The inserting member is switchably inserted into one of the slots for adjusting a maximum outreaching volume from the frame to the feet.

A sliding bearing includes:—an inner ring element;—an outer ring element;—at least one sliding bearing element, which is arranged between the inner ring element and the outer ring element. The sliding bearing element has multiple sliding bearing pads, wherein the individual sliding bearing pads each have a radial bearing surface and a fastening profile located opposite the radial bearing surface. The inner ring element has at least one receiving profile on its radial outside, which receiving profile serves for the positive locking connection between the sliding bearing pads and the inner ring element.

A threadless linear guide includes a rail, a slide block, a recirculation assembly, and a fixing member. The slide block, the recirculation assembly, and the fixing member are positionable with respect to each other through retention engagements therebetween so that the components can be coupled to each other without screws. A reinforcement plate is provided for reinforcing the strength of the recirculation assembly for the recirculation assembly is generally formed of injecting molding, while the fixing member and the reinforcement plate are made of metal. Thus, with the fixing member and the reinforcement plate enclosing the recirculation assembly, any foreign object jamming in the interior would not cause the rolling bodies to eject out through the recirculation assembly during the operation of rolling bodies.

A rolling bearing includes a cage formed by coupling a first and a second division pieces into which the cage is divided in an axial direction. At least the first division piece is provided with a protruding portion extending in an axial direction toward the second division piece and having a locking portion formed at a tip of the protruding portion with the locking portion protruding toward a radially outer side. The second division piece is provided with a locked recessed portion in which the locking portion is locked. On an inner peripheral surface of the first division piece, an avoiding recessed portion is formed which allows avoidance of interference of the inner peripheral surface of the first division piece with an inner ring when the first division piece is tilted toward a radially inner side in order to lock the locking portion in the locked recessed portion.

A ball and socket joint assembly is disclosed that includes a body defining a cavity, a collet disposed in the cavity to receive a ball of a connector, and an actuator shaft coupled to the collet for rotating and translating the collet in the cavity. The cavity has a distal opening to accept the ball and an engagement feature extending into the cavity. The collet has an outer diameter larger than the opening in the body when the ball is disposed in the collet, and the collet has a corresponding engagement feature around at least a portion of the outer surface for receiving the engagement feature and converting rotation of the compression member into translation of the compression member along a proximal-distal axis of the body. The collet is compressed against the opening of the cavity when the collet is advanced distally against the opening.

A retaining element for retaining a component within a receiving part, the retaining element including: a neck portion to be received within a notch formed in the receiving part; a first head portion coupled to the neck portion end and defining a first shoulder; a second head portion coupled to another neck portion end and defining a second shoulder, wherein the first and second shoulders oppose one another and are to abut first and second surfaces of the receiving part so as to engage the retaining element with the receiving part; wherein the first and/or second head portions include a retaining tab having a retaining surface, wherein the retaining tab has a receiving position for receiving the component and retaining position for retaining the component; wherein, in the retaining position, the retaining tab extends beyond the neck portion so the retaining surface abuts the component surface to retain the component.

A system for the axial retention of a holding ring for a bearing for guiding in rotation a rotary shaft of a turbomachine is disclosed. The system includes an annular bearing support and a bearing holding ring that is borne by the annular bearing support. The bearing holder ring includes an upstream ring configured to be brought into contact with the bearing support and a downstream ring that is elastically deformable. The bearing support has a first axial retention element, and the bearing holding ring has a second axial retention element. The first and second axial retention elements are configured to cooperate with one another to axially retain the bearing holding ring in the event of damage to the downstream ring.

The repair of shift cable ends in various motor vehicles without the replacement of the entire shift cable is accomplished using a specialized bushing that operably couples the shift lever and shift cable end. In particular embodiments, the shift cable end is seated in an installation tool and a specialized bushing is inserted into the shift cable end by applying a compressive force to the bushing and the installation tool. The installation tool is removed and the shift lever is inserted into the bushing. The bushing has a coupling means to simulate the factory installed coupling mechanism, a securing means for maintaining the bushing's alignment and securing it within the shift cable end, and a pressure-relief means for relieving pressure within the bushing as the lever is inserted into the bushing. In some embodiments, the hushing has a compression means for allowing the bushing to be easily compressed into the shift cable end without deformation.
