Publication number: 20140072254Abstract: A bearing arrangement for mounting a shaft on a connection structure, the arrangement including a housing (1), a bearing which supports the shaft, and a backup bearing which includes a bearing ring that makes contact with the housing (1). According to the invention, the problem of providing a bearing arrangement which includes a backup bearing and allows the forces which arise in a loaded state to be better absorbed in the backup bearing, is solved by a slit (9) being provided in the housing (1), this slit being designed as an opening and extending substantially in a circumferential direction.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 9, 2012Publication date: March 13, 2014Applicant: Schaeffler Technologies AG & Co., KGInventors: Michael Pausch, Wolfgang May, Hermann Golbach, Peter Siebke, Horst Masuch

Publication number: 20120251025Abstract: An angular contact ball bearing, which has an outer ring, an inner ring, and a plurality of balls arranged between the outer ring and the inner ring in a cage rotatably about a bearing axis. The cage is guided via a cage guiding surface of the outer ring. The angular contact ball bearing has a nominal pressure angle of less than or equal to 30 degrees. In a sectional view, a circular arc runs from a point of a track of the outer ring furthest away from the bearing axis along the track in the direction of a track end facing the cage guiding surface to an intersecting point of the circular arc a straight line through the cage guiding surface has a central angle that is greater than or equal to 60 degrees.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 21, 2010Publication date: October 4, 2012Applicant: SCHAEFFLER TECHNOLOGIES AG & CO.

Patent number: 7407045Abstract: A wheel bearing having fixed part accommodating the brake caliper. The fixed part of the wheel bearing is connected to the wheel carrier by connecting elements. At least one projection is integrated with the fixed part, the wheel carrier or the connecting element. The projection transmits to the wheel carrier at least the torque acting in the fixed part during braking.Type: GrantFiled: June 24, 2003Date of Patent: August 5, 2008Assignee: Fag Kugelfischer AGInventors: Heinrich Hofmann, Jens Heim, Peter Niebling, Horst Masuch

Patent number: 7178413Abstract: Wheel bearing comprising a rotating part and a stationary flange, and rolling contact elements arranged between them. A brake caliper is supported on the stationary flange. At least one sensor is arranged on the stationary flange. The sensor measures the braking force by measuring the change in length in the material of the stationary flange in the flow of force between first fastening openings for receiving the brake caliper and a form-locking connecting element for connecting to a wheel carrier.Type: GrantFiled: June 24, 2003Date of Patent: February 20, 2007Assignee: Fag Kugelfischer AGInventors: Heinrich Hofmann, Jens Heim, Peter Niebling, Horst Masuch

Patent number: 6978866Abstract: Wheel-bearing and brake-disk unit designed such that forces (deformations) when the rim is being screwed on largely avoid resulting axial run-out in the brake disk. The bearing flange to which the rim and pot-shaped part of the brake disk are attached has first fastening openings and a larger diameter in the regions of the first openings and a smaller diameter between adjacent first openings. The pot-shaped part of the brake disk has second fastening openings and a larger diameter in the regions of the second openings and a smaller diameter between adjacent second openings.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 2003Date of Patent: December 27, 2005Assignee: FAG Kugelfischer AGInventors: Peter Niebling, Heinrich Hofmann, Jens Heim, Horst Masuch

Patent number: 6551071Abstract: The invention relates to a multiflow liquid ring pump, comprising a rotor housing that encompasses the pump rotor. A side shield is arranged on both front ends. Each side shield has an inlet and an outlet on the side facing the other side shield, the inlet and outlet being interconnected. An admission hole for the feed line and a pressure hole for the discharge line are provided. Each side shield has at least one additional connection hole. The invention is characterized in that the outer jacket surface of each side shield (3, 4) flushes with and closes the outer jacket surface of the rotor housing (2) and in that the inlet (7, 9), the outlet (8, 10) and the connection hole (11, 12, 13, 14) are connected by channels (15, 16, 30, 31) arranged in the rotor housing (2).Type: GrantFiled: July 16, 2001Date of Patent: April 22, 2003Assignee: Gardner Denver Wittig GmbHInventors: Helmut Blender, Rolf Jäger, Karl-Heinz Kulas, Horst Masuch, Patrick Müller, Wolfgang Tempel

Patent number: 6484582Abstract: A rolling bearing which has as rolling bearing components one bearing race with a first running surface, a second bearing race with a second running surface opposed to the first surface, and rolling elements arranged between the running surfaces. At least one sensing unit is integrated into the rolling bearing components. The sensing unit can be interrogated by radio via antennas or can be connected to an interrogator by a cable. The sensing unit uses at least one component operating on the SAW or BAW principle to sense changes in length and/or changes in temperature in the material of the rolling bearing component and sends the result of the measurement after the arrival of a radio signal via the antenna or via a cable.Type: GrantFiled: April 10, 2001Date of Patent: November 26, 2002Assignees: FAG OEM und Handel AG, Institut fur Mikrotechnik Mainz GmbHInventors: Wolfgang Ehrfeld, Volker Graeff, Frank Michel, Sven Gempper, Jens Heim, Joachim Hering, Horst Masuch, Edgar Streit, Vasilis Hassiotis, Henri Van Der Knokke
