In a finite linear motion guide unit, a retainer for retaining rollers rolling between guide members is formed into a V-like shape to thereby increase a rated load. A first guide member is formed into a V-like concave form, and a second guide member is formed into a V-like convex form. Needle rollers are retained by the V-shaped retainer and roll on a raceway formed by facing surfaces of the guide members. The V-shaped retainer includes a pair of roller retainer plate portions for retaining the needle rollers, and a retainer connection portion. A retainer straying prevention mechanism is composed of a pinion disposed in a cross-opening, and racks disposed on the guide members and meshing with the pinion.

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.

A method for packing rolling elements in a bearing providing using a bearing ring fixing component to fix a first bearing ring, preventing it from shifting when subjected to radial compression; inserting two first packing supports between a first bearing ring raceway and a second bearing ring raceway at a predetermined circumferential angle, the two first packing supports dividing the bearing in a circumferential range into a compression zone lying and a warping zone lying outside the range of the circumferential angle; and using a bearing ring compression component to apply a compressive load to a circumferential portion of the second bearing ring. The compressive load directed towards the first bearing ring in a radial direction, to force a radial gap between the first bearing ring raceway and second bearing ring raceway to decrease, such that a window suitable for packing the rolling elements is formed in the warping zone.

A method for producing a composite rolling bearing (1) having a bearing flange (3) and at least one rolling bearing (4, 5) held on the bearing flange (3) by an inner ring (6, 7). In order to be able to fix the inner ring (7) on the bearing flange (3) with axial preloading without expansion, the inner ring (7) is acted upon by a holding-down device (23) that radially holds down the inner ring (7) and is preloaded against the inner ring (7) by a regulated axial force (F), and, by way of an advancing cone (21) introduced radially on the inside axially into the bearing flange (3), material (11) present on the bearing flange (3) is displaced radially towards the outside into a recessed formation (15, 16) in the inner ring (7).
