Abstract: A method is disclosed for producing a tapered roller assembly which can be mounted in a particularly simple manner. For this purpose, a method for producing a tapered roller assembly having an inner ring and a roller ring is proposed, wherein the method comprises the following steps: a) providing the inner ring , wherein the inner ring has a flanged mounting rim which is produced within a preliminary flanging stage by flanging over an edge region of the inner ring; b) mounting the roller ring on the inner ring, wherein the roller ring is pushed over the flanged mounting rim onto the inner ring; c) flanging over the flanged mounting rim into a flanged rim wherein the flanged rim, as a retaining rim, captively retains the roller ring; and d) heat treating the flanged mounting rim before step b) or step c), wherein a hardness of the flanged mounting rim is reduced by comparison with a hardness of a raceway of the inner ring. Also proposed is a tapered roller bearing formed with such a tapered roller assembly.

Abstract: A locking device for securing a motor vehicle component which is displaceable relative to a motor vehicle structure and which may be secured by means of the locking device within a displacement range in a respective position of rest reached by displacement is provided. The locking device comprising at least one first frictional element and at least one second frictional element, which is moved relative to the first frictional element upon displacement of the motor vehicle component and thereby may slide with a friction surface along a friction surface of the first frictional element under sliding friction conditions and which, in a respective position of rest of the motor vehicle component, with its friction surface bears against the friction surface of the second frictional element under static friction conditions. A flowable additional medium is provided which may be brought, upon a relative movement of the frictional elements, between their friction surfaces.
