An air turbine starter that includes a turbine member for rotatably extracting mechanical power from a flow of fluid, where the turbine member is coupled to a drive shaft to provide a rotational output. The air turbine starter further includes a foil-air bearing assembly and a thrust bearing that rotatably support the drive shaft.

A bearing arrangement for a turbomachine includes first and second roller element bearings. The first bearing and the second bearing are disposed on opposite axial ends of an intermediate sleeve of the rotating group. The first bearing has a first inner race with a first inner radial surface and a first outer radial surface. The first inner radial surface has a first interference fit with a shaft of the rotating group. The first outer radial surface has a second interference fit with the intermediate sleeve. The second bearing has a second inner race with a second inner radial surface and a second outer radial surface. The second inner race receives the shaft with a clearance fit. The second outer radial surface has a third interference fit with the intermediate sleeve. The second inner race is coaxially aligned with the first inner race and the shaft via coaxial alignment of the intermediate sleeve and the first inner race.

A bearing structure includes: a shaft provided with a turbine impeller; a pair of rolling bearings accommodated in a bearing hole and each including: an inner ring provided to the shaft; and an outer ring having a damper portion formed on an outer periphery of the outer ring; an opposing surface opposed to, from a turbine impeller side, a lateral surface of the outer ring of the rolling bearing provided on the turbine impeller side; and a first oil supply groove formed in the opposing surface and opposed to at least the damper portion and the lateral surface of the outer ring.

Provided is a method of manufacturing a resin retainer having two annular sections. A fixed-side cavity forming mold has a first axial mold surface that is in contact with an axial end surface of a first annular section of the annular sections of a resin retainer having two annular sections, and a first protruding portion protruding from the first axial mold surface. A movable-side cavity forming mold has a second axial mold surface that is in contact with an axial end surface of a second annular section of the annular sections of the resin retainer, and a second protruding portion protruding from the second axial mold surface. A slide core sliding step is performed in which slide cores are slid toward an outer diameter and pocket-forming protruding portions of the slide cores are extracted from a pocket of the retainer, and then a mold opening step is performed in which the movable-side cavity forming mold is opened relative to the fixed-side cavity forming mold.

A gas turbine engine with a lubrication system includes a ball bearing assembly and a rotor circumscribing a rotational axis and journaled within the ball bearing assembly. The gas turbine engine also includes a lubrication system located radially outward from a rotational axis and radially outward and adjacent to the ball bearing assembly, which includes a lubrication channel having an inlet and an outlet and a dispersion cone adjacent to the outlet of the lubrication channel.

In accordance with one aspect of the present disclosure, a turbocharger having a rolling element bearing (REB) assembly contained within a bearing housing includes an axial damper configured to dampen and limit axial displacement of the REB assembly. The axial damper can include different embodiments, including an elastomeric axial damper, wire mesh, or oil film, for interrupting contact between the bearing assembly and a displacement limit when an axial displacement force exceeds a preload force. Further, the axial damper can include an apparatus having at least two axially compressible rings, where one of the axially compressible rings includes a displacement limit feature.

A hydraulic ride height actuator system for providing variation of a ride height at a front end of a vehicle is provided includes a strut and an actuator including a piston and a housing axially movable with respect to the piston. The housing is fastened to an upper end of the strut. The piston and the housing define a hydraulic chamber. An increase in a volume of the hydraulic chamber forces the housing upward to vary the ride height.

A bearing unit has at least one outer ring and at least one spring unit mounted axially adjacent to the at least one outer ring and connected to the at least one outer ring by a snap fit. The spring unit includes a support element having a connecting element such as a rib or a plurality of lugs, for connecting the support element to the bearing outer ring and a wave spring fastened to the support element.

The invention relates to a cage-free rolling bearing (1) having a plurality of rolling elements (4) which are arranged so as to be distributed in the circumferential direction between an inner ring (2) and an outer ring (3) that is arranged concentrically to the inner ring (2); and a pressing element (6) which is arranged in the manner of a ring segment along the circumferential direction, at least temporarily contacts at least two of the rolling elements (4) simultaneously, and applies a force oriented in an axial direction to each of the contacted rolling elements (4).
