Publication number: 20230204459Abstract: The rolling bearing provides a first ring, a second ring and at least one row of rolling elements arranged therebetween. Each of the first and second rings include an inner bore having an outer surface and at least one raceway for the row of rolling elements formed on one of the inner bore and outer surface. The first ring provides at least one part ring delimiting the raceway, and at least one sleeve secured to the part ring and delimiting at least partly the other of the inner bore and outer surface of the first ring. The rolling bearing further provides at least one optical fiber sensor mounted inside at least one circumferential groove formed on the first ring and passing through at least one optical fiber sensor passage opening into the circumferential groove.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 21, 2023Publication date: June 29, 2023Inventors: Yves-André Liverato, Alexander Mocnik, Olivier Verbe, Matthias Zauner

Patent number: 10247240Abstract: An angular contact ball bearing cage includes a plurality of pockets. At least one (imaginary) sectional plane extends through a first pocket, and the sectional plane is located such that an axis of rotation of the angular contact ball bearing cage lies in the sectional plane. The axis of rotation is an axis about which the angular contact ball bearing cage is configured to rotate in operation. A geometric centerpoint of the first pocket lies in the sectional plane, and an intersection of the sectional plane and a side of the first pocket includes a first portion that is not linear and that does not lie on the surface of a cone.Type: GrantFiled: November 9, 2017Date of Patent: April 2, 2019Assignee: Aktiebolaget SKFInventors: Helmut Landerl, Alexander Mocnik
