In order for contaminants (50) that are in particular liquid or highly viscous or solid and impact in an operating portion (40b) of one or 2 processing shafts (40.1, 40.2) that rotate adjacent to each other not to reach bearings (2) of the shafts (40.1, 40.2) which are arranged axially outside of the processing portion (40b) which could damage the bearings a wiping device (6) is arranged there between which is additionally axially shielded by a bearing plate (3) and a splash guard plate (4) wherein the wiping device provides that contaminants (50) that reach the wiping section (40a) are wiped off at this location and cannot move further through the bearing plate (3) to the bearing (2) that is arranged outside of the bearing plate (3).

The invention relates to a bearing arrangement designed as a fixed/floating bearing for a rotor of a fan, having a bearing tube, a compression spring, a shaft arranged coaxially with respect to the bearing tube, and two identically formed ball bearings arranged between the bearing tube and the shaft, each ball bearing having an inner ring and an outer ring, wherein multiple different fit zones are formed axially along the bearing tube, wherein, in a first axial fit zone, one of the ball bearings as a fixed bearing is attached by its inner ring on the shaft and its outer ring is fixed with a press fit on a continuous, shoulder-free portion of the bearing tube and, in a second axial fit zone, another of the ball bearings as a floating bearing is attached by its inner ring to the shaft and its outer ring is axially displaceably arranged with a clearance fit on a continuous, shoulder-free portion of the bearing tube, wherein the compression spring is arranged in a third axial fit zone and, exerting a preload against the outer rings of the ball bearings, is positioned axially between the ball bearings and is designed to eliminate bearing play of the floating bearing.

A transmission unit includes a transmission housing, a transmission element rotatably accommodated in the transmission housing, a bearing seat, and an angular contact ball bearing accommodated in the bearing seat, for mounting the transmission element, as well as a double-row angular contact ball bearing having: an inner bearing ring; an outer bearing ring; a first ball-cage assembly with first balls which are accommodated in a first track space extending between a first inner rolling element raceway of the inner bearing ring and a first outer rolling element raceway of the outer bearing ring; and a second ball-cage assembly with second balls which are accommodated in a second track space extending between a second inner rolling element track of the inner bearing ring and a second outer rolling element track of the outer bearing ring.

A radial fan (1) is provided with a motor (2) and a fan housing, an outer part (4) and an inner part (5) that form a spiral-like pressure chamber (D). A pressure connector (33) which forms an outlet (44) of the radial fan (1) is arranged on the outer part. The fan housing is equipped with a fan wheel (3) which is arranged on a shaft (7) connected to the motor (2), wherein an annular flow divider (8) which surrounds the fan wheel (3) is arranged adjacently to the fan wheel (3) in a radial direction. The flow divider together with the fan housing forming a diffuser (9), which transitions directly into the pressure chamber (D), about the fan wheel (3).

An electromechanical steering system may include a reduction gearbox where a worm gear is mounted in first and second bearings rotatably about a longitudinal axis. Rolling elements are disposed between inner and outer rings of the bearings. The inner rings are rotationally fixed on a shaft driven by the worm gear. A spring element is disposed between the inner ring of the second bearing and the worm gear. The spring element has an at least partially annular main body that when installed extends coaxially with the longitudinal axis. Spring arms in a circumferential direction are spaced apart from the longitudinal axis emanating from an external circumferential side of the main body. A first spring arm has a first leg that points away from the longitudinal axis and a second leg on which a free end is disposed, with the second leg running at least partially parallel to the longitudinal axis.

A UTV double row tapered wheel bearing assembly may include a first inner diameter race, a second inner diameter race axially offset from the first inner diameter race, and an outer diameter race radially offset from the first inner diameter race and the second inner diameter race, the outer diameter race formed as a single integral member. A first ring of rollers may be disposed between the outer diameter race and the first inner diameter race. A second ring of rollers may be disposed between the outer diameter race and the second inner diameter race. A first shield may be coupled to a first axial face of the bearing, and a second shield may be coupled to the second axial face of the bearing.

A bearing apparatus includes a bearing that rotatably supports a main spindle around a rotation axis, a spacer including an inner-ring spacer adjacent to an inner ring of the bearing and an outer-ring spacer adjacent to an outer ring, and a heat flux sensor provided in an inside surface of the outer-ring spacer. A distance in a direction along the rotation axis from a center of the bearing to a center of the heat flux sensor is longer than 0.5 time and shorter than one time of a dimension of the bearing in the direction along the rotation axis.

A method for preloading a bearing includes releasably, threadably, and directly attaching an attaching member to a circumferential outside surface of an exposed end of a threaded shaft of an axle or spindle. A frame is axially separated from, and coupled to, the attaching member. A plurality of extensions extends from the frame axially past the attaching member toward the wheel hub assembly. An adjustment mechanism moves the frame and the plurality of extensions axially towards the wheel hub assembly to contact the wheel hub assembly and/or the bearing to apply a preload to the bearing within the wheel hub assembly.

Aerostructure actuator systems include first and second shaft portions having respective first and second mandrels and a clutch assembly arranged within the first mandrel and connecting the shaft portions. The clutch assembly includes a post with a post extension fixedly connected to the second mandrel. A first bearing is installed on the post extension to frictionally engage with a portion of the post. A second bearing is installed on the post. A spacer is arranged between the bearings and is fixedly attach to the first mandrel. A load setting nut is configured to engage with the post extension and apply a compressive force to the bearings and spacer against the post. The compressive force defines a coupling limit between the shaft portions. The clutch assembly is configured to rotationally decouple the shaft portions from each other if a relative rotational speed between the shaft portions exceeds the coupling limit.

A planar high-density ball bearing comprises a cage and balls; the cage is provided with multiple groups of ball holes for arranging the balls; the ball holes in each group are distributed in the circumferential direction of the cage in an ellipse; the centers of the ellipses in each of which a group of ball holes is distributed coincide with each other, the major axes of the ellipses lie in a common line. The ball holes in adjacent groups are arranged to be staggered in relative to each other in the circumferential direction of the cage, and the balls in the same group of the ball holes are distributed in an ellipse. A method for manufacturing the planar high-density ball bearing, nutation reducer are provided.
