20180010644 · 2018-01-11 ·

The invention relates to a method of forming a rolling element bearing cage assembly, comprising forming one or more segments, the forming of each segment comprising: forming a supporting frame having a plurality of spaced apart openings; forming a reinforcing frame including a corresponding plurality of openings each for aligning with the openings of the supporting frame; and inserting the reinforcing frame within the supporting frame.

Milking platform

A rotary milking platform 1 has a deck 2, a circular upper beam 4 connected to and supporting the deck, a circular lower beam 6 and a series of carriages 5 connected end to end to form a ring between the beams. The platform is formed such that the upper beam 4 is arranged to rest and rotate on the ring of carriages 5 to rotate the deck 2. Each carriage has at least one carriage roller 10, and each roller 10 arranged to rotate on the lower beam 4. Each roller 10 also has a retention flange 11 at only one side. The flanges 11 of some of the rollers 10 are at or adjacent an inner side of the ring, and the flanges 11 of others of the rollers are at or adjacent an outer side of the ring. The rollers 10 of the ring are arranged such that at least one roller is oriented with its flange 11 on an opposite side to another of the flanged rollers immediately adjacent to it. The flanges prevent the carriages from moving off the lower beam 4 when the platform 1 is in use. Further, at least some of the carriages can be disconnected from the ring and swung laterally to be moved free of the beams 4, 6 for maintenance, repair or replacement.

ROLL CONNECTION
20220403495 · 2022-12-22 ·

A method and an equipment permitting to optimally handle and support a roll made of at least an inert material and transfer the torque from a bearing to a roll or the other way around without damaging them, the roll and bearing being immersed in molten metal.

V-clamp with more evenly distributed clamping load

A v-clamp is used to join tubular bodies having end flanges in order to form a joint therebetween. Such tubular bodies are employed in heavy-duty and moderate and light-duty applications including, but not limited to, industrial, oil and gas, sewage, agriculture, and automotive applications. The v-clamp can include a band, a closure mechanism, and a set of bearings. The v-clamp may furnish a more evenly and uniformly distributed clamping force around a circumference of the v-clamp and to the tubular body end flanges than previously demonstrated.

BEARING UNIT FOR AN AIRCRAFT WHEEL
20220373023 · 2022-11-24 ·

A packaged bearing unit is disclosed including an outer surface for receiving an aircraft landing gear wheel and an inner surface for receiving an axle. The unit may include first and second spaced-apart sets of tapered roller bearings, held between inner and outer raceways. There may be a bearing setting spacer which can be used when setting and pre-loading the bearings. The bearing unit may be a sealed unit which includes a pre-set amount of lubricant (grease) for lubricating the bearings. One or more sensors may be retained in a void between the sets of bearings. The bearing unit may remain fixed to the axle when the wheel is removed. The bearing unit may be serviced less frequently than the wheels, and may thus have a longer lifetime, possibly comparable with the lifetime of the major components of the landing gear.

BEARING AND A METHOD FOR PRODUCING A BEARING

The disclosure relates to a bearing, having an inner core, an outer cage which surrounds the inner core in a radial direction, and an elastomer body which resiliently connects the inner core and the outer cage together, wherein the outer cage has an inner stop projection, wherein the inner stop projection protrudes radially inwards from an inner circumferential face of the outer cage and has an inner stop face, wherein the inner core has an outer stop projection, wherein the outer stop projection protrudes radially outwards from an outer circumferential face of the inner core and has an outer stop face which faces the inner stop face, and wherein the inner stop face and the outer stop face overlap in an axial direction. The disclosure relates further to a method for producing a bearing.

Rotary Bearing and Gearbox

A rotary bearing (50), especially for harmonic gearing, comprising an outer bearing ring (1b) and an inner bearing ring (1a) arranged therein; whereby the inner bearing ring (1a) and the outer bearing ring (1b) are each provided with at least one receptacle (10, 11) through which, when the two receptacles (10, 11) are in a corresponding position with respect to one another, rolling elements (8) can be inserted through a receptacle opening (22) formed by the two receptacles (10, 11) into an anti-friction bearing between the bearing surface (7) of the inner bearing ring (1a) and the bearing surface (9) of the outer bearing ring (1b), wherein a guide ring (20) for the rolling elements (8) is arranged in at least one of the two receptacles (10, 11) between the receptacle opening (22) and the rolling elements (8).

Roller-type linear guideway

A roller type linear guideway includes: a rail, a sliding block sleeved on the rail, and end cover units installed at two ends of the sliding block. One of the end cover units includes a first cover plate, a second cover plate, an open end cover, and an outer end cover. The first cover plate includes a plurality of penetrating holes communicating with the non-load passages, the second cover plate is installed on the first cover plate and includes holes connected to the penetrating holes, and the open end cover is installed on one end of the sliding block and includes through holes communicating with the holes. The outer end cover closes the through holes to allow circulation of multiple rolling elements. The through holes, the holes, and the penetrating holes are connected to the non-load passages, so four rows of rolling elements can be filled simultaneously.
