An anti-rotation device including a tapered sleeve elongated along a longitudinal axis wherein the sleeve including an inner surface defining an inner diameter, an outer surface defining an outer diameter varying along the longitudinal axis, a slot extended from the inner surface to the outer surface configured to provide.

A sensor module includes a metal member having a side surface extending in a ring shape, and a recess recessed from the side surface and extending in a ring shape along the side surface, a resin part filling an inside of the recess, a radiating part provided in the resin part and configured to emit radio waves, a radio communication device provided in the resin part and electrically connected to the radiating part, and a sensor electrically connected to the radio communication device. The metal member is insulated from the radiating part by the resin part, and functions as a passive element.

A combined electrical insulator and conductor assembly for a bearing disposable between a shaft and a housing includes an annular insulator disposable about the bearing outer ring and configured to prevent electric current flow between the outer ring and the housing and including projections extending axially along and spaced circumferentially about a centerline. A conductor preferably includes a conductive disk with an outer radial end engageable with the housing inner surface, an inner radial end defining a central opening for receiving the shaft and openings each receiving a separate one of the plurality of projections of the insulator such that the disk is axially fixed relative to the insulator. An annular conductive brush subassembly is coupled with the conductive disk and includes a plurality of electrically conductive fibers contactable with the shaft outer surface so as to provide a conductive path between the shaft and the disk.

A roller element device, in particular for a gas turbine engine, comprises an outer ring with an inner raceway, an inner ring with an outer raceway, and roller elements which are arranged between the raceways so as to roll thereon, wherein the outer ring and the inner ring are each connected via a connecting portion to a respective fixing portion for fixing to one of two components which are rotatable relative to each other about a rotation axis, and the connecting portions are formed such that the two raceways can be jointly tilted at least in portions relative to the rotation axis.

An attachment interface is provided for connecting a vehicle composite component having a plate portion that is made of a fiber reinforced polymer and has a passage extending in a through manner along an axis. The attachment interface provides a metal attachment device, which includes an inner portion engaging the passage and an outer portion defining a connection point suitable to be connected to another vehicle element. The plate portion is axially sandwiched between two layers made of a fiber reinforced polymer composite material selected from the group consisting of BMC (Bulk Molding Compound), LFT (Long Fiber Thermoplastic) and DLFT (Direct Long Fiber Thermoplastic).

In a housing that supports a rotating shaft via a rolling bearing which is subjected to predetermined position precompression, a wedge member, the radial thickness of which increases from the leading end towards the base end thereof, is inserted between the housing and the outer circumferential surface of the outer race of the rolling bearing and between the rotating shaft and the inner circumferential surface of an inner race of the rolling bearing, the wedge member being inserted from the leading end thereof along the radial direction of the rotating shaft. The wedge member is fixed by being fastened, ahead in the insertion direction, by bolts and nuts, so that precompression force along with predetermined position precompression is imparted to the rolling bearing.

A turbocharger assembly including a housing, a shaft, and turbine and compressor wheels mounted on opposite ends of the shaft. The shaft is rotatably supported within the housing by a bearing cartridge that includes turbine-side and compressor side ball-bearing assemblies that are longitudinally spaced by a spacer. There are two times as many rows of ball-bearings included in the turbine-side ball-bearing assembly compared to the compressor-side ball-bearing assembly. The spacer slides over and rotates with the shaft and has at least one flat. An optical sensor extends through the housing and an optical sensor opening in the bearing cartridge to prevent the bearing cartridge from rotating within the housing. The optical sensor detects rotational speed of the spacer by counting the number of times the flat(s) passes by the optical sensor during a pre-determined time interval.
