Abstract: A ball bearing is adapted to high-speed applications. The single-piece plastic cage has a wide flange portion. In particular, the mass of the flange portion is at least 40% of the total mass of the cage.

Abstract: A circulator structure includes a main body, a Y-like groove and two return channels. The main body has a first side surface, a second side surface and a through hole. The Y-like groove includes a first oil-guiding groove, a second oil-guiding groove and an oil distribution groove. The first oil-guiding groove and the second oil-guiding groove are located at two opposite sides of the through hole, and the oil distribution groove is located below the through hole. A lower guiding end of the first oil-guiding groove and a lower guiding end of the second oil-guiding groove are respectively connected to the oil distribution groove. The oil distribution groove has an upper end distribution opening connected to the through hole and a lower end distribution opening. The return channels are respectively located on two opposite sides of the first side surface and are connected to the lower end distribution opening.

Abstract: An assembled half shell-shaped flanged bearing shell for a crankshaft bearing point in an internal combustion engine, having a half shell-shaped radial bearing part and having a disk-shaped axial bearing part that is fastenable in the area of an axial end-face side of the radial bearing part. The axial bearing part is formed from at least three segments that adjoin one another in the circumferential direction and that are nonreleasably joined together via a weld seam between every two segments, wherein the respective weld seam does not include the radial bearing part.
