Abstract: Computer program product for supporting a user in designing a sealing system of a hydraulic cylinder by indicating at least one sealing system component related to one of: seals, guide rings and rod end bearings for application in the hydraulic cylinder based on the working conditions of the hydraulic cylinder. The computer program product is arranged to obtain sealing system component information items from a database, including: a sealing system component text information item; a duty level information item; a sealing system component graphic information item; and a rod end information item. The rod end information item includes sealing intensity as a function of environment temperature.

Each sealing system component information item is arranged to include: a sealing system component text information item; a duty level information item; a sealing system component graphic information item; and a rod end information item. The computer program product is arranged to receive design criteria in the form of duty level information and rod end information of the hydraulic cylinder to be designed.

Abstract: A pivot mounting assembly for movably mounting a steering column of a vehicle in a housing or the like comprising a rolling bearing including an outer ring and a plurality of rolling elements disposed between the steering column and a housing for pivotally mounting the outer ring in the housing including an intermediate mounting member disposed between the outer ring and housing and adopted for positive form locking connection with the housing in an axial direction and including a pair of cooperating retaining ring members having cooperable axially oriented projectors and recesses which are interengageable in a friction locking manner.

Abstract: A method for making ball and socket joints with a slip liner of a friction reducing material consisting of the steps of inserting and centering a ring tool in the bore of the outer ring, filling the space between the outer ring and the ring tool with a friction reducing material; separating the ends of the outer ring and simultaneously breaking the slip liner at a predetermined point, removing the ring tool, and inserting the inner ring of the ball and socket joint.
