  • Patent number: 11898607
    Abstract: A non-locating bearing assembly includes a bearing unit configured to support a rotatable component relative to a stationary component, the bearing unit including a first stationary bearing ring and a second rotatable bearing ring. The rotatable bearing ring is fixedly connectable to the rotatable component, and a bearing carrier is attached to the stationary bearing ring in a rotationally fixed but axially displaceable manner by a combination of a friction fit and an interference fit. The bearing carrier is configured to be fixedly connected to the stationary component.

  • Patent number: 11835087
    Abstract: A non-locating bearing assembly includes a bearing unit configured to support a rotating component relative to a stationary component, the bearing unit including a stationary bearing ring and a rotatable bearing ring that are rotatable with respect to each other. The rotatable bearing ring is fixedly connectable to the rotating component, and the stationary bearing ring is mountable in the stationary component in a rotationally fixed but axially displaceable manner. A connector is provided between the stationary bearing ring and the stationary component to connect the bearing ring to the stationary component in an axially displaceable but substantially rotationally fixed manner, and the connection is provided by a combination of a friction fit and an interference fit acting in the circumferential direction.

  • Publication number: 20230095344
    Abstract: A rolling-element bearing for a device lubricated with a fluid includes first and second bearing rings defining an interior therebetween in which rolling elements support the first ring for rotation relative to the second ring. A pumping device is located at the interior for pumping the fluid into and/or out of the interior when an element of the rolling-element bearing rotates and the rolling-element bearing is at least partially submerged in the fluid. The pumping device may be a ring having vanes that is attached to the first bearing ring or to a cage of the bearing.

  • Publication number: 20220389964
    Abstract: A wave spring having an axially resilient spring section including at least one one-layer wave-shaped spring configured to provide a spring force in an axial direction of the wave spring, and a radially resilient spring section configured to provide a spring force in a radial direction. The wave spring may be made from a continuous flat wire that forms both the axially resilient spring section and the radially resilient spring section, the flat wire being rotated 90° at a transition from the axial spring section to the radial spring section.

  • Publication number: 20110264094
    Abstract: An external fixation clamp for attaching a fixation pin to a connecting rod, the clamp including a clamp body having a slot dimensioned to transversely receive the connecting rod and a fixation pin bore adapted to receive the fixation pin. The clamp body further includes a set screw bore for receiving a set screw, the set screw bore intersecting the slot and the fixation pin bore. The clamp further includes a set screw adapted to be received in the set screw bore and to extend into the slot and the fixation pin bore so clamping the connecting rod and fixation pin in place.

  • Patent number: 6822879
    Abstract: An improved electromagnetic interference shield for a module includes springs in which the compression force pushes the springs in a direction that is approximately parallel to the optic axis. The springs allow significantly looser tolerances on the placement of the module on its associated printed circuit board. The shield also includes an opening near its center, the edge of which includes a plurality of teeth. When the shield is placed onto the module, the teeth bend along the negative optic axis direction and prevent the shield from being pulled away from the module. Accidental removal of the shield is thus prevented. The shield splits the enclosure ground from the internal signal ground, decreasing the capacitance between them, in turn decreasing another possible source of electromagnetic radiation. In addition, the shield is more cost efficient to manufacture since it only requires a one step assembly process.
