  • Publication number: 20100215298
    Abstract: A cage segment of a plastic cage for a roller bearing, especially a large-diameter roller bearing. A plurality of the cage segments are arranged, or are to be arranged, in such a way that they butt adjacently or against each other on the front side in the peripheral direction. The cage segments include a pocket for a rolling body and a connecting device embodied in such a way that the cage segments can be interconnected in the form of chains.

  • Publication number: 20100206115
    Abstract: A linear bearing employs spherical roller bodies which are contained in a roller nut body with two drive helixes and two return helixes which form a continuous loop in the nut body. The return helixes are offset from the drive helixes and have a pressure relief cutout to allow for movement of the spherical roller bodies through the return helix region.

  • Publication number: 20100208241
    Abstract: A measuring device for analyzing a lubricant of a bearing. The measuring device has an electromagnetic radiation emitter, a receiving element and a test area that is arranged between the emitter and the receiving element. The measuring device allows for current information on the condition of the lubricant in the bearing to be obtained. At least some sections of the test area are inside the bearing and the receiving element supplies a spectrum of electromagnetic radiation captured by the test area. Also, a bearing and a seal for the bearing and a method for detecting and monitoring the condition of the lubricant of a bearing.

  • Publication number: 20100199936
    Abstract: A timing adjustment device with axially joined components, clamped by a camshaft central screw on a hub element which maintains the required peripheral position of these components relative to one another within a narrow tolerance range. On a disk element of the timing adjustment device an insert section is formed, which can be inserted into a recess formed in the hub element and, in the region of the insert section, at least one anchoring structure is formed, through which the insert section is anchored on a counter-structure, which is provided by the hub element.

  • Publication number: 20100202719
    Abstract: A wheel bearing for aircraft, that has a long service life and is reliable. The wheel bearing has a small number of individual parts and components that are simple to handle, to mount or to dismount. The wheel bearing of an aircraft landing gear has a wheel rim that is rotationally mounted about an axis over two roller bearings of a bearing arrangement. The external rings of the roller bearings are received together in a single-piece external ring bearing housing. The wheel rim can be detachably connected to the bearing arrangement in such a manner that it can be mounted or dismounted independently from the bearing arrangement.

  • Publication number: 20100201353
    Abstract: A sensor arrangement for a shaft that is mounted in a magnetic bearing. The arrangement has magnetic shielding which shields the magnetic bearing by forming a magnetically shielded area, magnetic encoding that is situated on the shaft in the magnetically shielded area and at least one receiver that detects at least one alteration of the magnetic field of the magnetic encoding. The aforementioned sensor arrangement for a shaft that is mounted in a magnetic bearing permits the an arrangement of this type that uses magnetic encoding of the shaft to detect the position of said the shaft in the closest proximity possible to the magnetic bearing.

  • Publication number: 20100190595
    Abstract: An eccentric tensioning device for tensioning a traction means is provided. The eccentric tensioning device includes a track roller device having a running disk and a rolling bearing, a work eccentric for supporting the track roller device, the work eccentric being supported on an adjustment eccentric, a single torsion spring for pretensioning the work eccentric, and a fixing device for securing the work eccentric in a mounting position in which the torsion spring is located in a pretensioned state. The fixing device is positionable on a flange surface upon which the eccentric tensioning device is mountable during attachment, in which the running disk is forced radially relative to the rotating axis of the rolling bearing against the associated traction means under effect of the work eccentric, and a free switching path is traversed through an axial play being overcome against an axial force applied solely by the torsion spring.

  • Publication number: 20100189384
    Abstract: A measurement arrangement for a shaft mounted in a bearing. The measurement arrangement has a magnetic coding and a receiver. The receiver detects a change of the magnetic field of the magnetic coding when the mounted shaft is subjected to mechanical stress. The measurement arrangement is used in conjunction with a shaft mounted in a rolling or sliding bearing. The magnetic coding is disposed at a front end of a bearing component. Also, a rolling bearing and a bearing ring and a seal are disclosed.
