Abstract: Angularly spaced sector portions of a bushing element attached by its annr flange to a housing, adjustably positions angularly spaced bearing elements and wedge-shaped spacers for bearing support of a shaft with desired radial and axial clearances maintained by fasteners extending into the housing parallel to the shaft axis from the flanges of the bushing and the bearing elements to accommodate radial adjustment, while fastener studs extending perpendicular to the shaft axis through enlarged holes in all of the elements of the bearing assembly accommodate axial adjustment before attachment of the bearing elements in their adjusted positions to the housing is finalized.

Abstract: A device for receiving therein a prestressed roller journal, the device being provided in a printing unit of a rotary printing press, includes a screw-in element having a prestressed pressure element movably guided therein for adjusting to a contact width of a roller, a bearing member carrying the screw-in element and being adjustable between a vertical installation position thereof and at least one installation position deviating from the vertical installation position, the bearing member being formed with a pair of guide cams disposed opposite one another for automatically orienting the roller in the vertical installation position, one of the guide cams of the pair thereof being disposed so as to carry the weight of the roller in the at least one installation position of the bearing member deviating from the vertical installation position.

Abstract: A shaft is borne in a standard by an intermediate member and a supporting bearing so that the shaft may follow without constraint lateral shifts of the supporting bearing by tilts about a plurality of small angles located in different planes. This effect is achieved by providing one of two guiding rings for the shaft within the intermediate member with two small sliding projections. These projections may be vertically arranged on a diameter of the intermediate member, which in turn is mounted to the standard by two small seat-engaging surfaces which are horizontally arranged on a diameter of the intermediate member. The apparatus is preferably used with shaft angle encoders for theodolites.

Abstract: A mounting particularly adapted for a shaft of printing press cylinder to position the cylinder in parallelism with a companion cylinder comprising a pair of identical brackets adapted to be mounted on laterally spaced upright supports for holding opposite ends of the shaft wherein one bracket is positionable to be horizontally adjustable and the other vertically and wherein each bracket consists of two parts mating along a parting plane extending in the central axis of a bore defined by opposing semi-cylindrical concavities formed in respective parts when they are connected to each other, the parting plane being so located that each has one end terminating at one side of the axis of the bore and the other end at the other side of the axis so that one part of each bracket may be mounted on its related support and will cradle the respective end of the shaft so that it will not fall out of its concavity and thus the other part of each bracket may be easily assembly with the one part without the necessity of phy

Abstract: A manually adjustable blade assembly for an underwater pelletizer to enable radial adjustment and axial adjustment as well as maintaining parallelism of the blade assembly to the die cutting surface through the use of a shaft bearing support for the driven cutter blade assembly which enables accurate and positive adjustment of the rotating cutter blade assembly in relation to the cutting surface of a die in an underwater pelletizer.

Abstract: A screw-type fine material classifier or washer having externally mounted support bearings with the ends of the screw extending through the end walls of the tank and waterproof seals. The bearings and seals being adjustable so that the screw may be moved both vertically and horizontally to adjust the clearance between the screw and the belly pan of the washer.
