A table leg includes a fixed outer tube, a movable inner tube vertically movable in the fixed outer tube and having two pairs of parallel walls, and a plurality of rotating members rotatably mounted to one pair of the parallel walls of the movable inner tube and partially protruding out from an outer surface of the movable inner tube and stopped against an inner surface of the fixed outer tube, such that the rotating members are rotatable when the movable inner tube is moved relative to the fixed outer tube.

A carrier hub assembly includes a carrier hub and a bearing assembly. The carrier hub includes an end portion having a first face surface and a second face surface. The bearing assembly includes a first bearing positioned on the first face surface and a second bearing positioned on the second face surface. Each bearing includes a pair of washers forming a pair of races, a cage, and a plurality of rolling elements. The bearing assembly further includes a connecting sleeve connecting the first bearing to the second bearing. The connecting sleeve retains the first bearing and the second bearing on the carrier hub.

A cage segment for a segmented bearing cage for large rolling bearings includes first and second lateral sides and first and second ends that together define a pocket configured to receive a rolling body. The first and second lateral sides each include an inner surface configured to face a running surface of the rolling body, and the first and second ends each include an inner surface configured to face end surfaces of the rolling body. The inner surface of the first lateral side includes at least one contact element protruding into the pocket and configured to contact the at least one rolling body, and the inner contact element is continuously connected to the first lateral face. Furthermore, a material thickness of the inner contact element corresponds substantially to a material thickness of the first lateral side at a location spaced from the at least one inner contact element.

A method for producing an annular-shaped cage for a rolling bearing assembly. The method comprises steps of: (a) providing a workpiece contained in a plane having a first side and a second side; (b) forming an annular-shaped cage from the workpiece, the annular-shaped cage having a U-shaped cross section such that portions of the first side of the workpiece face each other; and (c) forming a plurality of windows in the workpiece for receiving and positioning a set of rolling elements.

A bearing cage configured for a large-diameter roller bearing includes a first ring element, and a first bridge extending substantially axially from a first connection region of the first ring element. The first connection region includes a first recess extending into the first ring element that has a radially outer end and a radially inner end and a first radius of curvature at a location between the radially outer end and the radially inner end, and the first radius of curvature is constant or variable.

A crankshaft or connecting-rod bearing assembly of an internal combustion engine includes a bearing journal configured to function as a bearing inner ring, and a bearing outer ring surrounds the bearing journal. At least one row of rolling elements is disposed between the bearing journal and the bearing outer ring, the rolling elements are held by a cage, and the cage includes at least two cage segments, each of which extends around a circumferential section of the bearing journal. Furthermore, the at least two cage segments are connected to each other in a materially-bonded manner at at least one joint lying in the circumferential direction.

A bearing cage segment for a segmented bearing cage includes a plurality of walls that define a pocket configured to receive a rolling element and an insert element captively retained in an opening in a first one of the plurality of walls. The insert element may be configured to guide a rolling element retained in the bearing cage and/or be configured as a lubricant reservoir.

A spherical roller bearing for supporting a wind turbine main shaft includes an outer ring, an inner ring having a diameter of at least 499 mm, two sets of spherical rollers which roll along raceways formed on the outer and inner rings, and first and second cages each configured to retain a separate one of the sets of spherical rollers. Each one of the first and second cages includes a first cage ring extending in a circumferential direction of the spherical roller bearing, a second cage ring spaced axially from the first cage ring and connected to the first cage ring by a plurality of cage bars so as to form closed pockets. Each pocket receives a separate one of the spherical rollers of one of the two sets of spherical rollers.

A spherical roller bearing for a wind turbine includes outer and inner rings, two sets of spherical rollers rolling between the rings and a cage retaining the rollers. The cage includes an axial inner cage ring extending in a circumferential direction of the bearing, a first axial outer cage ring spaced from the axial inner cage ring on one axial side and connected to the inner cage ring by cage bars forming pockets receiving one set of rollers, and a second axial outer cage ring spaced from the at least one axial inner cage ring on a second, opposite axial side and connected to the axial inner cage ring by cage bars forming pockets receiving the other set rollers. Each cage bar has a radial curvature concave with respect to a pitch diameter. The cage and/or the rollers are free of structure for holding the rollers in the cage.
