  • Patent number: 9546684
    Abstract: A seal unit for a rolling-element bearing having an inner bearing ring and an outer bearing ring. The seal unit includes an at least part-ring shaped element having a seal lip, the at least part-ring shaped element is configured for attachment to the inner bearing ring, and the outer bearing ring is tiltable through a limited angle with respect to the inner bearing ring. Also a rolling-element bearing having such a seal unit.

  • Patent number: 9140304
    Abstract: A roller bearing assembly includes at least one outer ring (16, 18) with an outer track (24, 26), which is surrounded on its outer side by an outer part (36), and at least one inner ring (20, 22) with an inner track (28, 30), which surrounds the inner part (52). The inner part (52) and the outer part (36) project axially beyond the inner ring (20, 22) and the outer ring (16, 18), so that an explosion prevention gap (62) is formed between the inner part (52) and the outer part (36). The explosion prevention gap (62) is at least substantially linear and cylindrical.

  • Publication number: 20150176654
    Abstract: A rolling-element bearing including a seal unit, the rolling-element bearing having at least one bearing ring and a further bearing ring tiltable with respect to the at least one bearing ring by a limited angle, and the seal unit having an at least part-ring shaped element attached to the bearing ring. The at least part-ring shaped element delimits a labyrinthine seal gap and corresponds to a first delimiting element, the rolling-element bearing further includes a second delimiting element and a third delimiting element, the third delimiting element being attached to a bearing cage, and the seal gap extends at least partially between the first delimiting element, the second delimiting element and the third delimiting element.

  • Publication number: 20120260937
    Abstract: A device for cleaning a surface of a component includes a high voltage source having a cathode configured to be electrically connected with the surface of the component. An ionization electrode includes at least one individual electrode configured to be electrically connected with an anode of the high voltage source. A movable carriage moves the ionization electrode relative to the surface of the component so that an electric field generated between the ionization electrode and the surface of the component is also moved relative to the surface of the component.
