Patent number: 10151342Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: September 20, 2016Date of Patent: December 11, 2018Assignee: SCHAEFFLER TECHNOLOGIES AG & CO. KGInventors: Jens Heim, Andreas Frühwald, Jörg-Oliver Hestermann

Patent number: 10125812Abstract: The invention relates to a rotary-table bearing assembly, including: a rotary-table bearing, which has an inner ring, an outer ring, and rolling elements arranged in one or more rows, which roll on the inner ring and on the outer ring; and in each case an assembly component having a clamping segment, to which assembly components the outer ring and the inner ring are connected. According to the invention, the clamping segment of at least one assembly component is designed radially elastic on the assembly component, and/or the outer ring and/or the inner ring has a radially elastic connecting segment, by which the particular ring is connected to the assembly component.Type: GrantFiled: March 13, 2015Date of Patent: November 13, 2018Assignee: SCHAEFFLER TECHNOLOGIES AG & CO.

Publication number: 20160186808Abstract: A rotary table bearing device (1) is provided for supporting a rotary table in a rotatable and axially fixed manner with respect to a stationary frame by a roller bearing. In order to develop a rotary table bearing device (1) simply and with a high load rating, the roller bearing is formed by a single planetary roller bearing (2). The single planetary roller bearing (2) has two bearing rings (3, 4), one of which is associated with the frame and the other of which is associated with the rotary table and which have grooved profiles (7, 8), and planetary rolling elements (10), which are arranged in such a way that the planetary rolling elements are distributed over the circumference and have an outer profile (11) that is complementary to the grooved profiles (7, 8).Type: ApplicationFiled: July 2, 2014Publication date: June 30, 2016Applicant: Schaeffler Technologies AG & Co.

Patent number: 9291204Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: February 27, 2012Date of Patent: March 22, 2016Assignee: SCHAEFFLER TECHNOLOGIES AG & CO.

Patent number: 6915881Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: February 21, 2003Date of Patent: July 12, 2005Assignee: INA-Schaeffler KGInventor: Jörg-Oliver Hestermann
