Abstract: A lid adapted to be mounted on the cylinder head of an internal combustion engine by attachment screws includes a cap and a carrier element adapted to be attached to the cylinder head by the attachment screws. To achieve an improved sound decoupling, the cap and the carrier element are connected to an elastomer component, with the connection between the cap and the carrier element being, at least in part, exclusively constructed by the elastomer component, and with a space being provided between the cap and the carrier element. The carrier element possesses a substantially straight section arranged to extending preferably at a right angle to the attachment surface of the cylinder head, the substantially straight section of the carrier element, a portion of the elastomer component adjacent the cap, and a portion of the cap adjacent the carrier element extend in a straight line.

Abstract: A swivel mounting is made as a double-row roller bearing and has an outer ring with a first outer track and a second outer track, a first inner ring with a first inner track, and a second inner ring with a second inner track which is located axially next to the first inner ring. Two sets of rollers roll between the outer tracks of the outer ring and the inner tracks of the inner rings. The swivel mounting is constructed such that the outer ring with the first inner ring and the second inner ring forms one axial slide bearing at a time.

Abstract: A valve shaft seal includes a reinforcing ring having a cylindrical section extending over a certain axial length and possessing an outer diameter, a sealing element disposed on the reinforcing ring, and a valve spring supported on a radially extending end section of the reinforcing ring. To support the valve spring on the radially extending end section of the reinforcing ring, the radially extending end section extends radially farther inward in the direction of the axis of the valve shaft seal than the outer diameter of the cylindrical section of the reinforcing ring.

Abstract: A roller bearing (e.g., a cross taper roller bearing) includes an outer ring, an inner ring and rolling elements (e.g., taper rollers) located between the inner and outer rings. The rolling elements are kept at a distance by a cage formed from a number of individual cage segments. Each cage segment has two opposing guide sections for one of the rolling elements to at least partially encompass the rolling element on both sides. In addition, for the rolling elements bordering the one rolling element, the cage segment has guide sections which, in interaction with a corresponding guide section of an adjacent cage segment, at least partially encompass the bordering rolling elements.

Abstract: A mounting unit for a sensor system includes a sensor wheel adapted to be mounted on a shaft, a sensor device adapted to be disposed on a sealing flange which seals the shaft, and a removable calibration aid fixing the sensor device in a precalibrated position on the sensor wheel. A process for mounting a sensor system involves aligning a sensor wheel and a sensor device in an aligned position relative to one another in a precalibration process, bringing together the sensor wheel and the sensor device in the aligned position with a calibration aid to form a mounting unit, positioning the mounting unit in a precise position on a shaft, fastening the sensor device to a sealing flange, and removing the calibration aid from the sensor wheel and the sensor device. The sealing flange can also be added to form a part of the mounting unit.
