POWER-ASSISTED STEERING FOR A MOTOR VEHICLE
A power assisted steering system may include a threaded spindle that engages in a spindle nut, extends in a direction of a spindle axis, and is axially displaceable in a housing; and a drive unit having a gearwheel that is connected to the spindle nut in a rotationally fixed manner, can be driven rotatably about the spindle axis, and is rotatably mounted in the housing in a bearing arrangement. The bearing arrangement may have at least one bearing outer ring that is axially supported on the housing at an end face via a spring element, that is received coaxially in a sleeve element, and that is held radially in the housing. The spring element may be formed as a spring portion, and the sleeve element may be formed as a sleeve portion that is connected in one piece to the spring portion, on a one-piece carrier sleeve.
Wheel bearing device
A wheel bearing device (1) provided with an outer sealing member (7) in which: a core metal (8) having formed therein multiple seal lips is fitted to the outer opening of an outer ring (2); a metal ring (9) is fitted to the outer peripheral section of a hub ring (3) so as to oppose the core metal. The multiple seal lips are brought into contact with the metal ring, so that a portion between the outer ring and the hub ring is sealed. An annular outer member side weir part (11f) that protrudes to the outer side, in a radial direction, as compared to the outer edge of the metal ring so as to surround the metal ring is provided to the core metal, and an outer member side expanded-diameter part (8g) that holds grease is formed in the inner peripheral surface of the outer member side weir part.
WHEEL BEARING
A wheel bearing includes a first seal member disposed between an outer ring and a first outer peripheral surface of a first cylindrical portion of an inner ring and configured to seal between the outer ring and the inner ring; and a second seal member press-fitted to a second cylindrical portion of the inner ring. The second seal member includes a slinger comprising an outer axial end portion spaced apart from the first seal member and a first end surface of the inner ring; a first seal lip coupled to the outer axial end portion of the slinger and comprising a first seal portion in contact with a portion of the first seal member and a second seal portion in contact with a portion of the first cylindrical portion; and a second seal lip coupled to the slinger so as to be spaced apart from the first seal lip.
Bearing structure
Provided is a bearing structure, including: a damper groove formed in at least one of an outer peripheral surface of an outer ring of a rolling bearing or an inner peripheral surface of a bearing hole so as to extend in a circumferential direction of a shaft; and a second oil drain hole having one end communicating with the damper groove, and another end opened to an outside of a cylindrical portion.
ROTATING STRUCTURE FOR RADIATION IMAGING MODALITIES
Among other things, a computed tomography (CT) imaging modality is provided. The imaging modality includes a radiation source that emits radiation. The imaging modality includes a detector array that detects at least a portion of the radiation. The imaging modality includes a rotating structure that rotates about an axis. The rotating structure includes a first support portion having a first shape. The rotating structure includes a second support portion having a second shape different than the first shape. The radiation source and the detector array are mounted to the second support portion.
INTEGRATED STUD BALL BEARING WITH PRECISION MATCHED RACEWAY CONTACT ANGLES FOR CONSISTENT STIFFNESS OF GIMBAL ASSEMBLY
A ball bearing and housing assembly includes a shaft having a stepped bore extending therethrough. The stepped bore is defined by a first bore segment having an inboard cylindrical interior surface that has a first bore diameter. The first bore segment extends from a shaft end and terminates at a shoulder. The shoulder is axially located between a first radial centerline of a plurality of balls and an inner axial end. The stepped bore is further defined by a second bore segment having an outboard cylindrical interior surface that has second bore diameter. The second bore segment extends axially from the inner axial end towards the shaft end and terminates at the shoulder. The second bore diameter is greater than the first bore diameter. A fastener is fitted through the first bore segment and threaded into a housing.
Rotating spindle capable of conductively contacting via bearings
A rotating spindle capable of conductively contacting via bearings contains: a power supply module, a body, a first conductive assembly, and a second conductive assembly. The power supply module includes a first circular shell, an insulation element, a second circular shell, a first bearing, and a second bearing. The body is accommodated in the first circular shell and includes two elongated orifices, two guide orifices, and two electrode orifices. The first conductive assembly includes a first internal conductive wire, a first external conductive wire, and a first electrode. The first internal conductive wire is connected with the first electrode and extends out of the one guide orifice. The second conductive assembly includes a second internal conductive wire, a second external conductive wire, and a second electrode. The second internal conductive wire is connected with the first electrode and extends out of the other guide orifice.
ROLLING BEARING HOLDER UNIT
A rolling bearing holder unit disclosed herein includes: a rolling bearing with a predetermined rotation axis, the rolling bearing including: an outer ring; an inner ring placed inward relative to an inner circumferential surface of the outer ring to be coaxial with the outer ring; and a plurality of rolling bodies placed between the outer ring and the inner ring; a bearing holder placed in contact with an outer circumferential surface of the outer ring or an inner circumferential surface of the inner ring in the rolling bearing; and a strain gauge with a resistor that is configured to detect a strain of the outer ring or the inner ring. In this rolling bearing holder unit: the bearing holder has a thick part and a thin part that is thinner than the thick part; the strain gauge is placed on the thin part; the rolling bearing is preloaded to form a predetermined contact angle; and the thick part is placed in contact at least with a region extending from an intersection of a straight line indicating the predetermined contact angle and the outer circumferential surface of the outer ring or the inner circumferential surface of the inner ring, to a preloaded end surface, the preloaded end surface being an end surface of the outer ring or the inner ring located nearer to the intersection.
