  • Publication number: 20220397039
    Abstract: A bearing chamber housing (20) for bearing a shaft (3) of a turbomachine (1), including a housing outer shell (21) that delimits an oil chamber (33) of the bearing chamber housing (20) radially outwardly in relation to a rotational axis (4) of the shaft (3), and a housing inner shell (22) for bearing the shaft (3). The housing inner shell (22) is radially connected to the housing outer shell (21) via support ribs (23) that in each case extend axially, at least in part, and the housing inner shell (22), the housing outer shell (21), and two support ribs (23) that are next-adjacent to one another jointly delimit a cavity (41) that is axially open at the rear, and thus lead into a rear opening (32). The rear opening (32), viewed in tangential sections, has a clearance (35) in each case that constitutes at least 50% of a circumferential distance (43) between the next-adjacent support ribs (23).

  • Patent number: 8827050
    Abstract: A wear adjustor is provided for adjusting the wear of brake pads and a brake disc of a pneumatic disc brake having a brake application device actuated by a rotary lever. The wear adjustor is preferably inserted into an adjusting spindle of the brake application device. An axial bearing is formed axially on a side of a drive ring, and a ball ramp coupling with a freewheel function is formed axially on the opposite side of the drive ring. The ball ramp coupling has balls and a drive socket which is arranged axially, on the drive side, between the axial bearing and the balls thereof, a cone clutch being arranged between the clutch ring on the output side and an elastic sleeve for a cylinder spring. The cone clutch has the output-side clutch ring and a cone socket connected to the elastic sleeve, and clamping balls are arranged between the output-side clutch ring and the cone socket.
