  • Patent number: 6964326
    Abstract: An apparatus for damping rotational vibrations in a power train comprises a free-wheel clutch between a driving element and a driven element. At the outer ring and at the inner ring of the free-wheel clutch there are formed clamping ramps cooperating with clamping balls lying therebetween. The clamping ramps are provided at the axial front sides of the rings of the free-wheel. One of the rings of the free-wheel clutch is arranged axially undisplaceable and the other ring is arranged axially displaceable. Between the axially displaceable ring and an axial buttress there is provided a spring element acting in axial direction. Thereby the transmission of rotational vibrations onto the driving element can be prevented due to an axial displacement of the constructional parts arranged therebetween up to their clamping, particularly with an increasing number of revolutions of the driving element.

  • Publication number: 20050207688
    Abstract: A radial roller bearing with a roller crown of cylindrical roller members (13) adjacent to each other between which distance pieces (15) each are inserted at which the roller members (13) are guided. The roller members (13) further are guided in windows (21) of an outer partial cage (11) which has only two cage side rims (17) and webs (19) arranged between the windows (21).

  • Patent number: 6942386
    Abstract: A roller bearing for linear movements has two guide members arranged coaxially relative to each other between which there are provided races for roller members extending in the longitudinal direction. The roller members are biased in radial direction by at least one elastic element. The races for the roller members are shaped as guide surfaces directly at the two guide members, and the elastic element is provided radially offset with regard to the guide surfaces and acts by means of webs only indirectly onto these surfaces, by being subjected to a radial clamping force of a further annular element.
