A roller bearing includes an outer raceway, an inner raceway, and a roller positioned between the outer and inner raceways. The roller bearing also includes a relief contour between the roller and at least one of the outer and inner raceways. The relief contour defines a slope along its length. The slope of the relief contour defines at least one inflection region.

Roller assemblies for hanging panels are disclosed herein. Roller assemblies according to the present disclosure are configured to support a hanging panel and include an elongate rail configured to be mounted on a surface. The roller assembly includes a trolley assembly, which includes a bearing assembly configured to translate the trolley assembly along the elongate rail and a bracket coupled to the bearing assembly and configured to be coupled to the hanging panel. The elongate rail includes a rail adjustment system configured to facilitate adjusting a position and/or an orientation of the elongate rail with respect to the surface. The rail adjustment system is concealed in a rail-assembled configuration, and includes at least two spaced-apart rail adjustment mechanisms.

A component 2 for a bearing, the component 2 comprising a bearing surface 4, wherein the bearing surface 4 is formed so as to be tapered at rest, thereby offsetting deformation of the bearing during an operational condition which generates an induced angle in the bearing surface 4 or an opposing surface of the bearing. A method of manufacturing a bearing is also provided. The method comprises: determining an induced angle of a component 2 of the bearing caused by deformation of the bearing during an operational condition: and providing a surface 4 of the component 2 or an opposing component with a taper at rest so as to offset the induced angle generated during the operational condition.

A constant velocity joint includes: an outer joint member having a raceway groove; an inner joint member having a leg shaft; a roller that is able to roll on the raceway groove; and a needle bearing that supports an inner periphery of the roller such that the inner periphery of the roller is able to rotate with respect to the leg shaft. The leg shaft includes: a roll portion that supports the needle bearing; a contact portion that is able to contact an end face of the needle bearing, the end face facing a first side in the direction of a central axis of the needle bearing; and a recess portion formed between the roll portion and the contact portion, in a position where the recess portion is recessed from a space in which the needle bearing is disposed.

A bearing including an axis of rotation, an inner ring, an outer ring arranged radially outward of the inner ring, the outer ring including a radially inner circumferential surface including: a race surface, a first outer ring portion arranged closer, in a first radial direction, to the axis of rotation than the race surface, and a second outer ring portion arranged closer, in the first radial direction, to the axis of rotation than the race surface and the first outer ring portion. The bearing further includes a cage radially arranged between the inner and outer rings.

A wheel bearing arrangement for a vehicle, comprising at least one roller bearing, wherein at least one of the roller bearings is a ball bearing, which includes an inner ring and an outer ring, wherein both rings have raceways for balls being located between the rings. To ensure a sufficient lifetime of the roller bearings and to minimize the friction in the bearing, the at least one of the rings of the bearing arrangement is made from a ball bearing steel produced by a powder metallurgical process using a powder metallurgy component including 0.5 to 2.0 weight-% C, a maximum of 0.035 weight-% S, 3.0 to 5.0 weight-% Cr, 1.0 to 4.0 weight-% V, 1.0 to 12.0 weight-% W and 2.0 to 12.0 weight-% Mo, wherein at least one raceway has a radius and the balls have a diameter which fulfills the equation: radius/diameter>0.53.

A component of a rolling-element bearing, such as a bearing inner ring having an inner ring flange, a bearing outer ring having an outer ring flange or a rolling element having an end surface, includes a solid slide layer having a lower coefficient of friction than a material to which the slide layer is attached which slide layer reduces frictional contact between the component and another component against which the slide layer slides during bearing operation.

The rolling bearing provides a first ring and second ring capable of rotating concentrically relative to one another, at least one first wire race mounted in the first ring, at least one second wire race mounted in the second ring, and at least one row of radial rollers radially interposed between raceways provided on the first and second wire races. The second ring comprises at least two guide flanges to axially retain therebetween the row of radial rollers. The first ring includes at least one retaining rib extending into the radial space that exists between the first and second rings and towards the second ring, the retaining rib protruding radially relative to the raceway of the first wire race.

Provided is a resin cage for a tapered roller bearing in which a mold parting line which is extended in an axial direction is formed in a pillar portion defining a pocket. On facing surfaces of adjacent pillar portions, on an outer diameter side from the mold parting line, a first conical surface which slides in contact with an outer peripheral surface of a tapered roller is formed, and a first flat surface in a radial direction is formed in a portion on the outer diameter side from the first conical surface. On an inner diameter side from the mold parting line, a second conical surface which slides in contact with the outer peripheral surface of the tapered roller is formed, and a second flat surface in a radial direction is formed in a portion on the inner diameter side from the second conical surface

A cross shaft joint includes a cross shaft including four shaft parts, needle rollers rolling on outer peripheral faces of the shaft parts, bearing cups each having a cylindrical part, and a bottom part, and externally fitted to the shaft parts via the needle rollers, and yokes provided with bearing holes into which the bearing cups are inserted. The needle rollers are maintained in a tight fit state between the shaft parts and the bearing cups. Each cylindrical part is provided with a projected part projected radially inward of the cylindrical part in a curved shape, at an inner peripheral side thereof, and an apex of the projected part is in contact with the needle roller within a range in an axial direction of the needle roller, the range containing an axial center of the needle roller in the axial direction.
