Abstract: Device, system, computer program product, data repository, and a client communication device for processing information items related to one of a bearing, a seal, and a product including one of a bearing and a seal and applications is provided. An information item database includes information items. Each information item is one of journal data item and individual unit data item. Each individual unit data item includes an individual unit identity of an individual unit and at least one of text and image. Each individual data item also includes at least one link linking at least one journal data item related to the individual unit data item to the individual unit data item. Each journal data item includes at least one of text, image, symbol and binary data. The device can be used to trace individual units.

Abstract: A rolling bearing having an inner ring, an outer ring, and a plurality of rolling elements between the rings. A seal is mounted in the annular space between the rings comprising a flat disk (6), mounted to one of the bearing rings made of a material with good electrical conductivity. An annular member (9), attached to the other bearing ring whereby the seal functions as a current bridge to carry away electrical current according between the two bearing rings.

Abstract: A system for supporting a shaft member at one end of a support component, including a bearing inner ring and a bearing outer ring, a row of rolling elements in the space between the rings, characterized in that the bearing outer ring (1,27, 34) has a radially outwardly directed flange (2) which can be fastened to the support component (9), the bearing inner ring (3), (32) having a radially inwardly directed flange 4 which can be fastened to the end surface of the shaft member (11), a cylindrical centering surface (15) on the bearing outer ring (1), (27), (34) for centering guidance in a corresponding bore in the support component (9), a cylindrical centering surface (13) on the bearing inner ring for centering guidance on a corresponding section of the shaft member (11).
