  • Publication number: 20150030274
    Abstract: The rolling bearing comprises an inner ring, an outer ring, at least one row of rolling elements disposed between raceways provided on the rings, and an annular housing inside which at least one of the rings is arranged. The ring provides two parts and each of the two parts delimits with the housing a closed space inside which a lubricant is located. The rolling bearing further comprises passage means for the lubricant to pass from the closed spaces to the raceways. The ratio between the thickness of a guiding portion of each of the two parts delimiting the raceway and the outer diameter of the bearing is from 0.7% to 3%. In a second embodiment, the ratio between the thickness of the guiding portion and the outer diameter is and preferably from 1.1% to 1.9%.

  • Publication number: 20090180721
    Abstract: A rolling bearing device comprising two races 10, 11 able to rotate relative to one another and at least one seal 13 attached to one of the races and provided with an active portion 16 designed to interact with a sensor element to detect a parameter of rotation of the active portion, characterized in that it comprises, at least on one side of the rolling bearing, a groove 20 made in the outer race 10 and a groove 21 made in the inner race 11, said grooves being substantially coplanar, the seal 13 being mounted in one of the grooves of one of the races and interacting with at least a portion of the other groove of the other race in order to provide a dynamic seal.

  • Publication number: 20080090686
    Abstract: The disengageable pulley device includes a pulley mounted on an inner transmission element, and a freewheel provided with a plurality of lock-up elements mounted between a sliding track of the pulley and a sliding track of the inner transmission element. The device is provided with a cage for the lock-up elements, with at least one annular friction element provided between the cage and the sliding track of the inner transmission element to use friction to connect the cage and the said inner element, and with at least one elastic return element positioned between at least one lock-up element and the cage, the elastic return element tending to keep the lock-up elements in contact with the sliding tracks when the freewheel is in the coupled position and in the uncoupled position.
