  • Patent number: 8349102
    Abstract: A guide carriage for a linear roller bearing is supportable in a longitudinally displaceable manner via at least one row of rollers on a guide rail which extends in a longitudinal direction, a separate rolling surface part which includes a rolling surface for the rollers is assigned to each row of rollers, and the rolling surface part is connected via an adhesive layer to a carrier body. The adhesive layer is designed essentially planar on the back side of the rolling surface part which faces away from the rolling surface, the rolling surface part being accommodated in a recess—which has an L-shaped cross section—of the carrier body.

  • Patent number: 4564993
    Abstract: In a screw drive, in particular a ball screw drive, a double nut, formed of a pair of individual nuts, is tightened on a threaded spindle and the individual nuts are secured together against relative rotation by a locking member. The locking member is secured within a radially extending recess formed in and bridging the individual nuts. The locking member can be inserted with a certain amount of play into the recess or borehole and then secured within the recess by a cement or similar material so that it cannot be displaced. Various types of locking members can be used, such as locking bolts or threaded bolts. When the locking member is connected into the recess or ball it prevents any rotation of the individual nuts relative to one another.

  • Patent number: 4312545
    Abstract: A bearing assembly operatively interposed between a shaft and a housing having said shaft axially movably mounted therein for torque transmission therebetween includes a ball bushing inserted into a bushing receiving bore in the housing and guided through ball rings in ball races, with at least one of said ball rings being a load-transmitting ring including a load-transmitting ball ring section which rests radially inwardly against the shaft and radially outwardly against an external support surface defined by the ball bushing. The load bearing ball ring section of the at least one ball ring engages a race groove in the shaft on the shaft side of the ball ring and it engages a race groove of a bearing plate mounted in the ball bushing on the ball bushing side of the ball ring in a manner to transmit torque therebetween.
