Abstract: Proposed is an axial adjuster having at least a first pair of helical raceways (322a) extending rotatable about an axial axis (A) along a cylindrical shell (36) wherein arranged between the first pair of helical raceways is a radially guided axial needle or roller ring whose running length corresponds substantially to the length of the raceways, at least one second pair of helical raceways (322i) possibly being provided arranged relative to said first pair (322a) radially outwards or inwards and along the cylindrical shell (36) 180° out of phase to the first pair, between the raceways a radially guided axial needle or roller ring being arranged whose running length corresponds substantially to the length of the raceways.

Abstract: A cup for needle bearings, having depressions or ramps arranged on the cup bottom for receiving lubricant, the ramps starting in a star shape from the middle of the cup bottom and being configured with a depth which decreases radially outwardly. At the middle of the cup bottom there is a central elevation with a rounded end face for the thrust of an end face of a shaft. The axial thrust behavior between these parts is thus optimized.

Abstract: A needle bearing has an outer sleeve and a needle cage. The sleeve is punched out of a flat sheet of metal and is coiled to be cylindrical. It has a window, and the needle cage has a corresponding window. The needle cage is guided circumferentially and axially inside the sleeve in such a way that the windows are aligned relative to one another so that an actuating member can pass radially through both windows. The needle bearing may be used, for example, for guiding a pressure pin for a braking mechanism of a vehicle.

Abstract: A bearing body is provided with first roller bodies such that a shaft may be rollably bearing-mounted on the surface of the first roller bodies, for centering the shaft such that the shaft is shiftable along the shaft axis, rotatable about the shaft axis, and swivelable with respect to a central axis of the bearing. The first roller bodies may be balls and may, in turn, be rollably bearing-mounted by second roller bodies. The bearing assembly achieves a device having zero runout and low friction that ensures a smooth, reliable bearing for shafts and rods, for example, in the gear shift rods of motor vehicles.
