Abstract: A method and apparatus for mounting a rotating part between two bearings designed to transmit radial and axial forces without axial and radial play. Each bearing includes a rolling element positioned between an outer part and an inner race surrounding the shaft end. Each bearing also includes a conical sleeve in contact with an inclined surface of the inner race. A nut is threaded to the outer end of the conical sleeve such that rotation of the nut causes the centering of the shaft end within the bearing. The outer part includes a chamfer surface into which extends a shim. A screw is rotted to cause the shim to compress the outer part downwardly toward the inner race. The method for mounting the rotating part also includes the use of a stepped shoulder at one end of the housing to prevent axial movement of one of the bearing members. The opposite end of the housing does not include a stepped shoulder so as to allow easy insertion of the second bearing member.

Abstract: An orientation bearing ring for resisting radial loads, axial loads, and inclined moments. The ring includes first and second races each of unitary construction, opposed thrust faces of the races have roller thrust bearings between them with the axes of the bearings perpendicular to the axis of the ring. An additional row of bearings is disposed in opposed bearing tracks in the respective races, these bearings engaging their tracks at an oblique angle to the axis of the ring.

Abstract: A plurality of conductive rings are arranged projecting relatively to a fixed component. Such ring comprises two thin conductive circles separated by an electrically insulating material. Blades fixed to pins make sliding contact with the outer and inner circles. The blades are advantageously staggered relatively to one another. It is thus possible to obtain a very compact electrical contact device between two concentric members capable of undergoing relative rotation.

Abstract: A double contact, crossed roller or ball bearing assembly with roller paths inserted in supports made from another material in which each support has a single groove per row for balls or roller members and has mounted by deformation therein a single open ring formed from a bearing steel section having two enlarged portions joined by a thinner axial rib. The two bearing surfaces of each foller path are machined in the two enlarged portions of each ring.
