  • Patent number: 12152632
    Abstract: The invention relates to a roller bearing having an exterior member and an interior member with an interior ring having a raceway and an interior wall which is associated around an exterior bearing surface of a hub of the interior member. The bearing surface has a groove in which an annular member is arranged by having an interior segment axially immobilized in the groove and a exterior segment that projects to form an axial abutment of the ring. On the hub, the interior member has an encoder with a track capable of generating a signal representative of its rotation. The encoder also has a reinforcement for rotatably securing to the member. The reinforcement has at least one projection arranged around the annular member to prevent its radial movement in the groove.

  • Publication number: 20230097974
    Abstract: A method for assembling a ring by shrinking the ring onto a shrink-fitting surface of a part, the shrink-fitting surface being turned radially away from a reference axis, the part having a free upper end and an inner wall extending around the reference axis turned radially toward the reference axis and extending axially while delimiting at least part of an axial cavity. The method including the steps of forming, on the inner wall, splines extending axially; shrinking the ring on the part so that a lower transverse face of the ring comes into abutment against a shoulder of the part. After the step of forming the splines and prior to the step of shrinking the ring onto the part, radial elastoplastic expansion of an upper portion of the part results in a widening of the shrink-fitting surface and of a portion of the splines.

  • Patent number: 10393131
    Abstract: The rolling bearing for a blade root includes an outer ring (13) and an inner ring (12). An inner space (43) is defined between the inner surface (33) of the outer ring (13) and the outer surface (25) of the inner ring (12). At a distal end (46), the inner space (43) is closed off by a distal sealing system (47) between the outer ring and the inner ring. A system (57) for retaining the distal sealing system (47) includes a retaining body (58), and a thread/tapping system provided on a peripheral assembly surface of the retaining body and on a peripheral surface of the facing inner or outer ring. The retaining body (58) is screwable into a retention position in which an axial abutment surface (61) of the retaining body forms an axial stop for the distal sealing system longitudinally (B), in the proximal->distal direction.

  • Patent number: 9115847
    Abstract: A lubricator comprises a container of variable volume holding a lubricant and having an opening for dispensing the lubricant. An electromechanical or electrochemical actuator operated by a control circuit makes it possible to reduce the volume of the container. An electrical circuit for displaying the state of the lubricator comprising a light source can emit at least one alarm light signal. A lid affixed to the container in a removable manner constitutes a housing for the electrical signal display circuit and defines a reference axis of the lubricator. A light diffuser guides the light emitted by the light source towards numerous light outlets distributed along the circumference of the lid in a manner that at least one of the light outlets is visible regardless of the position of an observer facing the lubricator and is located on a circle of observation centered on the reference axis of the lubricator.
