Abstract: A bearing arrangement is equipped with a radial bearing and with a roller bearing which acts purely in the axial direction. Rollers of axial bearing have a needle-like, barrel-like design. Bearing rings are provided with the corresponding profiles. When axial play develops in the bearing arrangement, rollers shift radially under the effect of gravity in one case and under the effect of centrifugal force in the other with the effect of eliminating the axial play.

Abstract: Axial roller bearing assembly for absorbing the axial forces of a steering knuckle pivotally supported on a steering knuckle bolt at the end of an axle of a vehicle comprising first and second bearing disks having spaced confronting raceways for a plurality of rolling elements. One of the disks has a sleeve-like edge, which encloses the rolling elements and the lateral surface of the second disk with play and prevents the rolling elements from escaping radially outwardly. A sealing ring made of elastic-type material is disposed between the sleeve-like edge and the lateral surface. A stop ring (27), separate from the disks (13, 16), is provided on the inner radial envelope circle of the rolling elements (15) to prevent the rolling elements (15) from escaping radially inwardly.

Abstract: A bearing arrangement, designed in an X-configuration for a planet gear is provided with two angular roller bearings mounted a certain distance apart. Barrel-shaped needles have a large radius of curvature and their length is considerably greater than their diameter. Raceways of the two angular roller bearings have a circular curvature, center of which is located in the radial direction, outside the raceway diameter and in the axial direction, between inner lateral surface and axial center of angular roller bearing in question. As a result, the bearing arrangement is able to pivot slightly even though its dimensions are very small and can also absorb axial loads.

Abstract: In a raceway-guided or flange-guided cage made of plastic for roller bearings, webs (18) between side rings (14) and (16) are specially designed to prevent foreign particles present in the lubricant from damaging contact surfaces (S) of rollers (R). For this purpose, guide surfaces (26) are provided only at edges of rollers (R). Intermediate web side surfaces (30, 32) are set back from contact surface (S) by a wider gap (G). Retaining projections (40) are also separated by a gap (G.sub.1) from contact surface (S) in the axial center, the point of greatest flexiblity for the snapping-in of the rollers.

The free terminal ends of the webs remote from the side ring (8) have projecting portions (11, 12) which partially enclose the rolling elements (6). Each of said webs (9) has an elongated radial through slot (10) dividing each of said webs into web portions (9', 9") which are displacable inwardly relative to one another to permit insertion between the rolling elements (6).

Abstract: A wheel bearing is provided with a sensor device for ABS systems, wherein a support ring for a sensor coupled is rotationally movable and is releasably secured by a groove in the bearing race from the axial movement. At initial installation the unit is placed on the bearing seat, pressing the support ring into predetermined axial position on a cylindrical surface of the axle member. In operation any creeping of the bearing race will cause no damage, and when the bearing is replaced the support ring with sensor remains in place on the axle member.
