A power transmission device including a housing and a ball screw device including a nut, a screw shaft, and a plurality of balls. The device includes a pulley device including a driving pulley configured to be driven by receiving power transmitted from a power source, a driven pulley fixed to the nut, and a belt wound around outer peripheral surfaces of the driving pulley and the driven pulley. The device also includes a first bearing and a second bearing disposed between the housing and the nut in a center axis direction parallel with a center axis of the nut; and a preload applying member configured to apply preloads to the first bearing and the second bearing. The first bearing and the second bearing are respectively disposed on both sides of the driven pulley to be a face-to-face combination, and each of the first bearing and the second bearing includes an outer ring engaged with the housing.

Steering system and method for manufacturing steering system

A steering system includes a steered shaft, a ball screw nut, balls, a housing, a rolling bearing, and a snap ring configured to prevent the rolling bearing from detaching from the ball screw nut. The rolling bearing includes double-row rolling element arrays, an outer ring, a first inner ring, and a second inner ring. The ball screw nut has a receiving portion. The snap ring contacts a side face of the second inner ring to push the second inner ring toward the receiving portion via the first inner ring. A resistance force received from the second outer peripheral fitting surface when the second inner ring moves in the axial direction in a state in which detachment of the rolling bearing is not prevented by the snap ring is smaller than a pushing force with which the snap ring pushes the second inner ring.

HUB BEARING ASSEMBLY

A hub bearing assembly includes a housing with a vertical bore, a bearing outer ring disposed within the bore and coupled with the housing and a bearing inner ring disposed within the bearing outer ring and having a central bore configured to receive a portion of the shaft. A set of rolling elements are disposed between the bearing outer and inner rings. An upper seal is disposed within the housing bore externally of the outer ring and includes an annular elastomeric seal body and a garter spring biasing a seal lip radially inwardly. A lower seal is disposed between the bearing outer and inner rings. Either the bearing inner ring is sized such that upper seal is disposed about the bearing inner ring or the hub bearing assembly further comprises an annular spacer disposed within the upper seal and adjacent to the upper axial end of the bearing inner ring.

11473619 · 2022-10-18 · ·

A double-row rolling-element bearing unit of a medical pump, preferably syringe pump, has a bearing core forming a first inner running surface for first rolling elements, which first inner running surface faces in an axial direction, and forms a second inner running surface for second rolling elements, which second inner running surface is arranged oppositely to the first inner running surface in the axial direction. The pump has a bearing bush, which can be mounted on a housing portion and forms a first outer running surface, which lies opposite the first inner running surface, and the pump has a bearing pan, which forms a second outer running surface, which lies opposite the second inner running surface. At least one preloading element couples the bearing pan to the bearing bush with a defined preload to join the double-row rolling-element bearing unit as a unit.

Bearing lubrication system and method of lubricating a duplex bearing

A bearing lubrication system includes a bearing assembly comprising a duplex bearing including an outer ring, an inner ring positioned radially inward from the outer ring, and two sets of circumferentially distributed rolling elements between the inner and outer rings. The bearing assembly further includes a housing radially surrounding the duplex bearing and including a lubricant flow passage in fluid communication with a source of lubricant. A flow orifice is located downstream of the lubricant flow passage for jetting the lubricant into the duplex bearing. The flow orifice has an axial location between the two sets of rolling elements.

METHOD FOR FORMING A FRONT TOOTHING ON AN INNER RING OF A WHEEL HUB AND ASSOCIATED EQUIPMENT
20220324011 · 2022-10-13 ·

A method and equipment for forming a front toothing having a plurality of radial teeth on an annular collar of an inner ring of a wheel hub, wherein a plurality of first knives are axially and sequentially impressed on the annular collar and have a first predetermined circumferential profile (P1) configured to form radial reliefs which are spaced by imprints and have a rounded circumferential profile corresponding to the profile of the ridges of the radial teeth to be obtained; thereafter, a plurality of second knives are axially and sequentially impressed on the annular collar inside the imprints and have a third predetermined circumferential profile (P3) configured to reproduce in reverse at least part of respective opposite flanks of the radial teeth of the front toothing to be obtained.
