  • Patent number: 10151342
    Abstract: Rolling bearing arrangements are disclosed. The bearing may include an outer ring, an inner ring, and a strain sensor device having an annular main body. The strain sensor device may be connected to the outer ring and configured to measure axial loads acting on the rolling bearing. A circle segment-shaped force introduction element may extend in a circumferential direction and connect to the annular main body via a web-shaped coupling element. The strain sensor device may have, on an outer end facing away from the rolling bearing, a recess for accommodating a strain sensor. The recess may extend over the force introduction element at least in the circumferential direction and the coupling element may have a smaller extent in a radial direction than the recess.

  • Patent number: 9291204
    Abstract: The invention concerns a rolling bearing (1; 1?) with a one-piece outer bearing ring (3) and a one-piece inner bearing ring (2), and with rolling elements (4) arranged in at least one row between the bearing rings (2, 3). Provision is made in this rolling bearing that the outer bearing ring (3) and/or the inner bearing ring (2) has, on the axial end face, at least one cutout (10) through which the rolling elements (4) can be placed into the space between the bearing rings (2, 3), that the cutout (10) can be covered with a reversibly attachable cap (9), and that the cap (9) forms a rim (11) for guiding the rolling elements (4). The lateral cutout (10) for filling the rolling bearing (1) with rolling bodies permits cage solutions of segmented or strip design that are larger than a rolling element and hence can accommodate multiple rolling elements. The suitability of the rolling bearing for high rotational speeds and the stiffness of the rolling bearing are increased as a result.

  • Patent number: 8628290
    Abstract: A handling device which has a first bearing device forming a pivot point for two inner pivot arms, to each of which one outer pivot arm is pivotally attached. The two outer pivot arms support a platform. The platform is pivotally connected to the outer pivot arms by an outer three-ring bearing.

  • Patent number: 6915881
    Abstract: A linear drive comprising a housing and a rail, which is mounted on the housing such that they can move relatively. Drive elements on the housing and on the rail to produce relative movement between the housing and the rail. The housing has a braking device to interact with a brake track provided on the rail. The brake track is in a groove in the rail. Anti-friction elements between the housing and the rail ride in the groove.
