Abstract: A bearing take-up frame including a base assembly having a top plate permanently, pivotally secured thereto at one end and removeably secured thereto at an opposite end. A bearing block assembly is received between the base assembly and the top plate for guided axial adjustment with respect thereto. End walls are secured to the base assembly and the top plate respectively, with a lower end wall defining a generally U-shaped slot. A threaded element is received in the U-shaped slot and held against axial movement, and has a transmission screw threadably received therethrough, an opposite end of which is secured to the bearing block. Rotation of the threaded element thus imparts movement to the bearing block. By releasing and pivoting the top wall upwardly, the bearing block, transmission screw and threaded element may be removed or installed.

Abstract: A dry fluid drive having a rotatable housing with a cavity therein and a rotor disposed in the cavity, the rotor consisting of a radially extending center portion and a laterally extending flange disposed at the periphery of said rotor center portion. The flange which preferably is disposed at right angles to the center portion and extends laterally on both sides thereof, contains a plurality of openings to assist in the distribution of the dry fluid in the housing which is so constructed and designed that a restricted area is provided at the cavity periphery in which the flange is disposed. Ribs or other types of protrusions are preferably on the periphery of the flange to improve the transfer of torque between the housing and rotor.
