A bearing (8) comprising a first row of rolling elements (10, 10a, 10b, 12, 12a, 12b) having a first pressure center (14) and a first contact angle, and a second row of rolling elements (10, 10a, 10b, 12, 12a, 12b) having a second pressure center (14) and a second contact angle, whereby said first pressure center (14) is arranged to coincide with said second pressure center (14) and whereby said first contact angle is the same as said second contact angle.

An angular contact self-aligning toroidal roller bearing comprising an inner ring, an outer ring, and a set of rolling elements formed of rollers arranged in an intermediate configuration between the inner and outer rings. Each roller is arranged to self orient in its axial direction in relation to the inner and outer rings in a loaded zone during operation. Furthermore, a method for determining dimensional parameters of structural members of an angular contact self-aligning toroidal rolling element bearing and a method for manufacturing an angular contact self-aligning toroidal rolling element bearing are described herein.

A casing of a bearing unit for food applications may include a base having at least one hole for housing at least one fixing bolts, a spherical seat for housing the bearing unit, and at least one reinforcement rib located between the hole and the spherical seat.

The present invention relates to a bearing assembly (10) for a drives haft system comprising a frame (12) surrounding an opening (16); a flexible vibration isolator (20) disposed in the opening (16) and a ball bearing (50) is mounted at a central opening (24) of the vibration isolator (20). The ball bearing assembly (10) comprises a spherical cup (40) is nested to a central opening (24) of the vibration isolator (20) and spherically pivoted such that in an adjustment position changing the rotational axis (x) of the ball bearing (50) by a deviation angle (a) when a rotational force is applied.

A forage harvester is disclosed that includes a cutterhead assembly and two frame parts between which the cutterhead assembly is rotatably suspended. The forage harvester assembly is held on both frame parts by a clamp bearing that defines a rotary axis. Contact points between an element on the frame part side and an element on the assembly side of the clamp bearing lie on a spherical surface centered on the rotary axis.

An annular ring having a contact portion, a raceway and a squirrel-type cage secured to the contact portion. The contact portion is formed from a first metal material, and the squirrel cage is formed from a second composite-type material including a matrix in which reinforcing fibres are embedded, the pierced portion of the squirrel cage being attached to an outer surface of the contact portion. Also, a bearing assembly with rolling elements having an outer ring, an inner ring coaxial with the outer ring, and a plurality of rolling elements housed between the raceway of the contact portion of the outer ring and a raceway of the inner ring.

A sealing assembly for a rolling-element bearing includes a first seal element and a second seal element, the first seal element including a first support member mounted on a first bearing ring, a first seal body extending radially from the first support member and having an oblique side surface, and at least one first seal lip extending radially from the first seal body to the second ring to form a first seal and the second seal element including a second support portion mounted on the second ring, a second seal body projecting from the second support portion and at least one second seal lip extending from the second seal body to the oblique side surface to form a second seal. A buffer member extends from the first seal element toward the second seal element and has first and second radially spaced annular ribs that extend toward the second seal element.

A bearing unit configured to be clamped on a machine shaft includes a stationary radially outer ring, a rotatable radially inner ring having a radially inner surface, a row of rolling bodies interposed between the radially outer ring and the radially inner ring, and a clamping device that includes a clamping sleeve between the radially inner ring and the machine shaft, the clamping sleeve including a threaded flange portion and a circumferential slit configured to deform and tighten around the machine shaft, and a ring nut to screw onto the threaded flange portion and exert an axial force on the radially inner ring, the radially inner surface of the radially inner ring engages the radially outer surface of the clamping sleeve.

A support assembly for moving shafts, comprising a bearing unit positioned in a casing, and a cover for fluid sealing the casing. The support assembly comprises double level of protection provided by two distinct sealing devices that keep the bearing unit protected from washing liquid even in the most demanding conditions of use. The better sealing configuration aids in overall better sealing of the bearing unit; greater resistance to contaminants; and improving the sealing performance of the whole support assembly.
