  • Patent number: 10738824
    Abstract: A rotating bearing assembly having a stationary housing, a rotating shaft, and a rolling bearing radially arranged between the stationary housing and a shaft end of the rotating shaft. The rolling bearing provides a seal that includes a stiffening insert and a sealing gasket disposed between the inner ring and the outer ring on an axial side of rolling bearing. The rolling bearing is open on the opposite axial direction to the shaft end. A cage includes an annular heel oriented towards the axial side of the shaft end, two circumferentially adjacent pockets being separated by a projected portion that axially extends from the heel towards the open axial side of rolling bearing.

  • Patent number: 10190444
    Abstract: The cam follower roller device providing a tappet body extending along an axis, an insert mounted in the tappet body, a pin mounted at least on the insert and a roller mounted on the pin. The device further provides a retaining washer mounted into a bore of the tappet body so as to axially retain the insert inside the tappet body. The tappet body provides retention means, cooperating with the washer to axially retain the washer relative to the tappet body. The retaining washer is axially interposed between the insert and the retention means.
