  • Patent number: 11912083
    Abstract: A spring damper bearing includes a bearing cap, a guide ring and a thrust bearing. The bearing cap and the guide ring are connected together and surround the thrust bearing. The bearing cap includes an annular main body portion and a barrier part which is located on an inner circumferential side of the main body portion. The barrier part has an annular shape and includes an outer circumferential end connected to the main body portion and an inner circumferential end which extends out from the outer circumferential end and is away from the main body portion. The inner circumferential end is nearer than the outer circumferential end to the lower axial side and the inner radial side of the spring damper bearing.

  • Patent number: 8479893
    Abstract: A rolling bearing with a brake mechanism, in particular a rotary connection, which has an outer bearing ring and an inner bearing ring, between which rolling bodies roll on assigned tracks. A brake element, which is connected displaceably to one of the bearing rings, is pressed against an opposite surface connected to the associated other bearing ring in order to produce a braking effect by frictional engagement and the frictional engagement can be cancelled by means of an electromagnet. The brake element is arranged as an integral bearing component inside one of the bearing rings and is pressed against the opposite surface by means of a spring force. The spring force is variably settable and the electromagnet includes one of the bearing rings as a soft-iron core and a coil enclosing the latter.

  • Patent number: 8376095
    Abstract: A rolling bearing which has a braking device, particularly a rotational connection, with an outer hearing race and an inner bearing race between which rolling bodies are in rolling motion on associated tracks. In order to produce a braking effect using frictional engagement, a displaceable braking element connected to one of the bearing races is pressed against a counter surface connected to the associated other bearing race and the frictional engagement may be removed with the aid of an electromagnet. The braking element is disposed as an integral bearing component inside one of the bearing races and is pressed against the counter surface by spring force, and the electromagnet encompasses one of the bearing races as the soft iron core and a coil surrounding the soft iron core.

  • Patent number: 8376096
    Abstract: A roller bearing, which has a brake device made of outer and inner bearing rings, between which rollers roll on corresponding rings, a displaceable braking element connected to one of the bearing rings pressed against an associated opposite surface connected to the other bearing ring to generate a braking effect due to a frictional fit, which can be neutralized by an electromagnet. The electromagnet is made of one of the hearing rings as a soft iron core, and a coil encompassing the ring. A ferromagnetic armature plate is connected to one of the bearing rings and is pressed towards a pressure plate, which is connected to the other bearing ring. At least one disc is disposed between the armature plate and pressure plate. The disc is operationally connected to brake linings on both sides, and each have a form-fit connection to one of the bearing rings by guide pins.

  • Patent number: 8317403
    Abstract: A rolling bearing, with a bearing inner and outer ring where at least one of the bearing rings is split, in a parting plane which is normal with respect to an axis, into two ring halves of identical shape. Latching members are integrally formed on a radially inner or radially outer ring part. Segment-like and shell-shaped projections project axially beyond the ring part at a part of the circumferential extent thereof. The projections are arranged in a different radial plane to the latching members, which projections are delimited in the circumferential direction by segment-like depressions and the projections of one ring half engage into the depressions, which are of complementary shape, of the other ring half, such that the projections and the ring part overlap in the axial direction and the latching members of the one ring half engage into clearances which are arranged in the other ring part.

  • Publication number: 20100150492
    Abstract: The invention relates to an anti-friction bearing (1) having a brake device, in particular a revolving joint, consisting of a bearing outer ring (2) and a bearing inner ring (3) between which anti-friction elements roll on associated raceways, wherein a braking effect by means of frictional engagement is achieved by pressing a displaceable brake element, which is connected to one of the bearing rings (3, 2) and has a brake lining (15), against a opposing surface (23), which is connected to the other bearing ring (2, 3). According to the invention, the opposing surface (23) is provided with a friction-increasing coating (24) which consists of a base material (25) and at least one incorporated additional material (26).
