The invention relates to a foil bearing (10) having at least one foil (16, 18), which is arranged and fixed in place inside a bearing bushing (12). In order to simply the production, in particular assembly, of the foil bearing (10), the bearing bushing (12) has at least two openings (20, 22, 24) offset from each other in the circumferential direction of the bearing bushing (12) or depressions (120, 122, 124) made in the inner lateral surface of the bearing bushing, into which openings or depressions two opposing circumferential end sections (16a, 16b, 18a, 18b) of the at least one foil (16, 18) engage.

A bearing arrangement for a wind turbine including a bearing housing and a drive shaft, whereby the drive shaft is arranged within the bearing housing in an axial direction along a longitudinal axis of the bearing housing, a downwind bearing and an upwind bearing, whereby the downwind bearing and the upwind bearing are arranged between the bearing housing and the drive shaft, wherein the downwind bearing and/or the upwind bearing is a radial fluid bearing including multiple radial bearing bodies, multiple radial tiltable support structures secured to the multiple radial bearing bodies, whereby each one of a multiple of radial bearing pads is attached to one of the multiple radial tiltable support structures and the multiple radial bearing pads are arranged about the drive shaft is provided.

A joint arrangement between at least one first and second component, preferably sheetlike metal component, which has in each case a top and bottom side including a joint bushing which is received in a first opening of the first component, and a joint pin which is led through the joint bushing and which has a pin head, wherein that pin section which is situated opposite the pin head and which protrudes out of the joint bushing is fastenable to the second component preferably by means of a rivet connection. It is particularly advantageous for a stop disk element to be received between the pin head and the top side of the first component, and for the joint bushing to be formed as a collar bearing with a bushing section received in the first opening and a ring-shaped collar section adjoining said bushing section, wherein the ring-shaped collar section bears against the bottom side of the first component. The invention also relates to a prefabricated component and to a method for producing such a prefabricated component of a joint arrangement.

Entanglement of bush main bodies is suppressed. At a bush, a shaft portion of a bush main body, which extends in a circumferential direction of a mounting hole of an outer anchor, covers a peripheral surface of the mounting hole. A first flange portion and a second flange portion of the bush main body are placed on an front and back sides of the outer anchor, respectively. Moreover, a connection portion connects both circumferential direction sides of the bush main body. The connection portion allows elastic deformation of a diameter of the bush main body, and the second flange portion can pass-through the mounting hole.

A ring for a connection element includes a contact portion intended to cooperate with a contact surface of another ring and a fastening portion intended to be secured to a support. The contact portion is made of a first metallic material and the fastening portion is made of a second metallic material, the hardness of the first material being substantially greater than that of the second material, and the toughness of the second material being substantially greater than that of the first material, the contact portion and the fastening portion being of one piece construction.

A gas turbine engine, has: an annular gaspath extending around a central axis, the annular gaspath defined between a first casing and a second casing, the first casing defining pockets; and a variable guide vane assembly having: variable guide vanes circumferentially distributed around the central axis, the variable guide vanes having airfoils extending into the annular gaspath and extending between first and second pivot members at respective first and second ends of the airfoils, the variable guide vanes rotatable about respective spanwise axes, bushings received within the pockets of the first casing, the first pivot members of the variable guide vanes rollingly engaged to the bushings, and resilient members disposed radially between surfaces of the first casing and the bushings relative to the spanwise axes, the resilient members in abutment against both of the surfaces of the first casing and the bushings.

Throughout several portions of a refuse collection system, coupling between hydraulic cylinders to related mechanical components are achieved using bolt-in bushings. The bolt-in bushings allow for improved efficiency in the manufacturing process and allow for repairs to be easily carried out by having a cylindrical opening configured to receive an attachment pin and a main body that is configured to be inserted into openings within portions of related mechanical components. The main body has a flange that will support connection holes, thereby allowing for attachment to the operating components of the refuse collection vehicle.

A vapor compression system including a motor having a housing and a shaft having an axis, the shaft urgable into rotational movement by the motor for powering a system component. A primary bearing and a secondary bearing are positioned in the housing for rotatably supporting the shaft, the primary bearing rotatably supporting the shaft during normal system operation. A first bearing stop and a second bearing stop are positioned on opposite sides of the secondary bearing for transmitting axial forces generated along the shaft for reaction by the motor housing during abnormal system operation. At least a portion of corresponding surfaces of each of the first bearing stop and the second bearing stop facing the secondary bearing have a protective overlying layer of material applied thereto.
