Abstract: A bearing assembly comprises at least one bearing for rotatably supporting a support roller having at least one hollow cylindrical portion. A support element is disposed directly or indirectly between a ring of the at least one bearing and the support roller. The support element comprises first and second hollow-cylindrical segments extending in the axial direction of the support roller. The first and second hollow-cylindrical segments are connected by a ring-shaped segment extending either in the radial direction of the support roller or at an angle to the radial direction.

Abstract: A support roller assembly comprises a support roller formed at least in part as a hollow cylinder. At least two bearings are spaced from each other in the axial direction of the support roller and rotatably support the support roller. At least one cushioning element is disposed within the support roller in the axial spacing between the two bearings. The cushioning element includes at least one ring made of cushioning material that extends adjacent the inner surface of the support roller.

Abstract: A bearing assembly is configured to be axially mountable in a support roller as a single structural unit. The support roller includes an at least partially hollow-cylindrical support roller shell and a support roller shaft. The bearing assembly comprises a mounting element configured to axially slide on the support roller shaft for mounting the bearing assembly in the support roller, a roller bearing having an inner ring fixedly supported on the mounting element, a support body radially surrounding the roller bearing, a cushioning layer radially surrounding the support body, and a sleeve radially surrounding the cushioning layer. The sleeve is configured to slidably contact an inner cylindrical surface of the support roller shell.

Abstract: The invention relates to a bearing arrangement (1) for a tension roller (2) designed as a hollow cylinder at least in segments, having at least one bearing (3) supporting the tension roller (2), wherein a damping layer (5) made of elastomer or rubber material is disposed between a ring (4) of the bearing (3) and the tension roller (2), directly or indirectly, and wherein at least one axial end of the tension roller (2) is closed by a cover (6). In order to achieve a low-noise and self-centering seal for the axial end of the tension roller, according to the invention, the cover (6) is disposed in a mounting segment (8) and is held by the same, said segment being molded from the material of the damping layer in an axial end region of the damping layer (5).

Abstract: A process for producing a bearing assembly includes positioning a first sleeve element in an injection mould, the injection mould having a cylindrical recess with a diameter for receiving the first sleeve element and the outside diameter of the first sleeve element being lesser than the diameter of the recess. A second sleeve element is positioned concentrically within the first sleeve element in the injection mould to define an annular chamber and elastomeric material in a molten state is injected under pressure into the annular chamber between the sleeve elements such that the outside diameter of the first sleeve element is expanded. The elastomeric material is allowed to solidify in the annular chamber between the two sleeve elements and the assembly of sleeves and elastomeric material are removed as a unit from the injection mould.

Abstract: A bearing assembly (1) includes at least one bearing (3) that rotatably supports a cylindrical roller tube (2). A cushioning layer (5) is disposed, directly or indirectly, between a ring (4) of the bearing (3) and the cylindrical roller tube (2). At least one contact surface (6, 7) for the cushioning layer (5) extends over a defined axial distance (L) at an angle (?) to the rotational axis (A) of the bearing assembly (1).

Abstract: A bearing assembly comprises a bearing enabling a rotatable body to rotate about a rotational axis relative to a stationary body. The bearing includes a bearing inner ring and a bearing outer ring, each having at least first and second roller body tracks provided in or on non-parallel surfaces of the ring. The respective roller body tracks of the bearing outer ring are aligned with the respective roller body tracks of the bearing inner ring and a row of roller bodies is disposed between each of the respective sets of roller body tracks. At least one of the rows of roller bodies comprises one of tapered rollers and spherical rollers, at least one of the rows of roller bodies supports at least axial forces and at least one of the rows of the roller bodies supports at least radial forces.
