Bearing arrangement for a vehicle
The disclosure relates to a bearing arrangement for a bearing end of a fastening shackle in a vehicle body of a vehicle that includes an outer sleeve, an inner sleeve and a sleeve-shaped plastic sliding bearing. The inner sleeve is mounted in the outer sleeve so that the inner sleeve is able to slide. The sleeve-shaped plastic sliding bearing surrounds the inner sleeve and is connected to the inner sleeve in a rotationally fixed manner. The sleeve-shaped plastic sliding bearing is also longer than the outer sleeve and is delimited by a first sleeve rim that protrudes beyond the outer sleeve, where the first sleeve rim is configurable to be form-locked and to resist rotation.
Bearing Device
A bearing device includes at least one bearing element. The at least one bearing element has at least one bearing running surface and at least one lubricant pocket. The at least one lubricant pocket is configured to lubricate at least a portion of the bearing running surface of the at least one bearing element. A method of producing the at least one bearing element includes forming the at least one lubricant pocket in the at least one bearing element at least partly by a non-cutting production method.
Bearing assemblies, apparatuses, and motor assemblies using the same
Bearing assemblies, apparatuses, and motor assemblies using the same are disclosed. In an embodiment, a bearing assembly may include a plurality of superhard bearing elements distributed circumferentially about an axis. Each of the superhard bearing elements may include a bearing surface. The bearing assembly may also include a support ring structure having a support ring that carries the superhard bearing elements. The support ring structure may include at least one erosion resistant region exhibiting a higher erosion resistance than another region of the support ring.
Ball socket assembly
The ball socket assembly includes a housing with an open interior which extends along an axis. A bearing is disposed in the open interior of the housing and has a curved primary contact surface which surrounds the axis and surrounds a stud ball opening. A stud ball is disposed in the opening and is in sliding contact with the primary contact surface for allowing rotation of the stud ball relative to the bearing. The stud ball has an equator and is in sliding contact with the bearing on both sides of the equator. A stud is operably connected with the stud ball. A shoe is further provided and has a pair of supplemental contact surfaces that are biased against the stud ball. The shoe provides the stud with a predetermined rotational torque and also adjusts for wear in the assembly to maintain the performance of the socket assembly.
METHOD FOR PRODUCING A BEARING ASSEMBLY
A method for producing a bearing assembly for mounting a control shaft, for example a camshaft, may include: providing a bearing; arranging at least two rings on respective axial front sides of the bearing; pushing the bearing together with the at least two rings onto an assembly mandrel; pre-tensioning the at least two rings against the respective axial front sides of the bearing; at least one of (i) pushing a shrink hose over the bearing and the at least two rings and heating the shrink hose, and (ii) winding a film strip over the bearing and the at least two rings; and withdrawing the assembly mandrel.
Light weight, high frequency welded, 2-piece ball bearing cage assembly
A two-piece plastic ball bearing cage is designed to handle high-speed applications. Posts on one bearing half fit into holes in the other bearing half After the two halves are brought together, ultrasonic vibration is applied to the ends of the posts. The ultrasonic vibration deforms the post end to fit into a widened portion of the holes and welds material, thereby firmly securing the two cage halves to one another.
BEARING CAGE SEGMENT CONFIGURED FOR USE WITH AN INSTALLATION TOOL
A cage segment for a rolling-element bearing having a plurality of rolling elements includes at least one bridge and first and second plates extending from axial ends of the bridge, sides of the bridge being configured to guide rolling elements. Radially inner or outer edges of each of the bridges include at least one axial channel having channel walls projecting radially and circumferentially from the radial inner or outer edge.
METHOD OF FORMING A BEARING CAGE SEGMENT INCLUDING A JOINT EDGE FOR WELDING
A method of forming a bearing cage segment includes determining a path of a periphery of the bearing cage segment along a metal sheet, punching a plurality of openings in the metal sheet inside the path to form a plurality of pockets separated by a plurality of bridges and separating the bearing cage segment from the metal sheet at the path. The separating includes laser cutting first and second joint edges at a first end of the row and third and fourth joint edges at a second end of the row, where the first joint edge is spaced from the second joint edge in a length direction of the bridges and the third joint edge is spaced from the fourth joint edge in the length direction of the bridges.
MILLING TOOL AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING A ROLLING BEARING CAGE
A milling tool includes a main body and a plurality of cutting inserts with respective cutting edges. The main body has an end face and a barrel-shaped curved lateral face. A first group of the plurality of cutting inserts are fastened on the end face, a second group of the plurality of cutting inserts are fastened on the barrel-shaped curved lateral face, and the respective cutting edges describe a barrel shape. Each one of the plurality of cutting inserts may be designed as an indexable insert.
Rotating-anode bearing and a rotating anode for an x-ray tube and a method for manufacturing a rotating-anode bearing for an x-ray tube
The disclosure relates to a rotating-anode bearing for an X-ray tube comprising a rotor shaft extending along a longitudinal axis from a first axial end to a second axial end and supported to be rotatable about the longitudinal axis; wherein the rotor shaft has an anode holder in the area of the first axial end; and the anode holder comprises a flange which has a larger diameter than at least an adjacent section of the rotor shaft. The rotating-anode bearing according to the disclosure wherein the rotor shaft together with the flange is made as an integrally forged part.
