  • Patent number: 11649857
    Abstract: A two-part ball bearing cage includes two, in particular at least substantially identical, cage parts forming an even-numbered plurality of ball pockets for receiving a corresponding number of balls having a predeterminable ball diameter. Each cage part has an annular body on which substantially evenly distributed webs are disposed in the circumferential direction to form the ball pockets. A distance in the circumferential direction between two webs that are adjacent in the circumferential direction approximately corresponds to the sum of twice the ball diameter and a width of the web in the circumferential direction. A ball bearing having the ball bearing cage and a method for assembly of the ball bearing are also provided.

  • Patent number: 11649856
    Abstract: A ball bearing cage has a radially encircling, annular body, on which in the circumferential direction, substantially evenly distributed, axially projecting webs having a predefinable axial length are arranged. The webs form a plurality of axially open ball pockets on one side for accommodating a corresponding number of balls having a predefinable ball diameter. At least for one web, a guide section is formed to bring same into an engagement with a running groove of a ball bearing ring. The axial length of the webs corresponds to at least the ball diameter. There is also described a ball bearing having such a ball bearing cage.

  • Patent number: 10024362
    Abstract: In order to make a bearing, such as a roller bearing, insensitive to a lack of maintenance lubrication or irregular maintenance lubrication while at the same time retaining its mechanical performance, at least one bearing part of the bearing is provided at least partially with an oleophilic adhesion promoter layer. The adhesion promoter layer binds a lubricant layer of the bearing to the bearing part provided with the adhesion promoter layer. The adhesion promoter layer is bonded to an elemental-iron-free surface of a bearing part body. The removal of free iron from the bearing part body surface is carried out with nitric acid, chromate solution and/or citric acid. The treated bearing part has an oleophilic anti-corrosion adhesion promoter layer. The bearing may be used in pressure-operated devices, in particular in turbine handpieces used by dentists, because the loss of the lubricant layer during operation of the device was particularly high.
