The inner ring is connected to the component which is to be supported and the outer ring is connected to the housing by way of at least one damping element. To increase quiet running of the rotating component, both the inner ring and also the outer ring are made as integral elements and have an essentially hollow cylindrical base contour, with an extension of the outer ring in the radial direction being at least twice the extension of the inner ring in the radial direction.

Abstract: A bearing arrangement used in a medical device in which a rotating component is supported relative to a stationary housing includes a bearing comprising an inner ring and an outer ring, with the inner ring being connected to the component which is to be supported and the outer ring being connected to the housing. To increase quiet running of the rotating component, the connection between the inner ring and the component to be supported and/or between the outer ring and the housing is produced by an annular element which is made of plastic.

Abstract: A process for mounting an outer bearing ring involves press fitting a stamp into the outer ring so that the inner peripheral surface of the outer ring assumes the shape of the stamp. Using the stamp, the outer ring is then press fitted into the recess of a machine part so that the contour of the external peripheral surface of the outer ring is plastically molded through axial stretching into the machine part. To mount an inner ring, a stamp with a bore is press fitted onto the inner ring so that the inner peripheral surface of the inner ring pressing against the stamp assumes the shape of the bore of the stamp. Using the stamp, the inner ring is then press fitted onto the machine part and the contour of the inner peripheral surface of the inner ring is plastically molded through axial flow forming into the machine part.

Abstract: A device for converting rotary motion into translational motion comprises a first component and a second component, with the second component being arranged to be able to turn around an axis of rotation relative to the first component and to move in the axial direction. Each component is provided with at least one track in which are arranged roll bodies. To produce a relatively high axial force with relatively small dimensions of the device, the tracks are arranged at opposing faces of the two components, with the tracks extending in a circle around the axis of rotation and in a spiral manner with a given pitch over the periphery of the components.

Abstract: A bearing ring includes a first ring part having a first peripheral surface forming a rolling body retaining track or a sliding surface and a second peripheral surface, and a concentrically arranged second ring part having first and second peripheral surfaces. The first and second ring parts are pressed together to plastically mold the second peripheral surface of the first ring part into the first peripheral surface of the second ring part through axial expansion. During manufacture, one tool grasps the first peripheral surface of the first ring part and presses it into a pre-determinable shape and another tool supports the second peripheral surface of the second ring part. The first ring part is pressed against the second ring part, with the contour of the second peripheral surface of the first ring part being plastically molded into the first peripheral surface of the second ring part through axial flow forming.

Abstract: A method for securing at least one bearing in a bearing plate provided with an indentation or recessed region for receiving a bearing involves partially swaging at least one positioning face on the bearing plate for accurately or precisely positioning a retaining baffle, positioning the retaining baffle against the at least one swaged positioning face, and materially bonding the retaining baffle to the bearing plate so that the retaining baffle exerts an axial force on a part of the bearing during operation of the bearing.

Abstract: A method is disclosed of manufacturing a pulley with integral bearing comprising a sheet metal pulley mounted on the outer race of a bearing. The pulley is a close sliding fit on the outer race. The interstice between the pulley and the race is at least partly filled with a low-melting-point filler metal which, when heated, melts and diffuses by capillary action into the interstice between the pulley and the race, at least partly filling the interstice and fastens the pulley to the race when it solidifies. The filler metal is advantageously a brazing alloy having a melting point much lower than that of the parts to be joined together. Applications of the method include the manufacture of belt tensioning pulleys with integral bearings, as used on automobile vehicle engines, for example.

Abstract: An arrangement for fixing a tubular element, such as a shaft, that is provided with a bore and a flange in position with respect to plate element involves the use of a ball that pressed into the bore in the tubular element. To achieve a simple fixation that is secure in both axial directions, the plate element is fixed on one side by the flange of the tubular element and on the other side by the bulge that is created through insertion of the ball into the bore in the tubular element. The ball has a greater diameter than that of the bore in the tubular element so that insertion of the ball into the bore causes the tubular element to become enlarged, thus forming the bulge.

Abstract: A tensioning device is provided with an adjusting element that is adapted to be affixed to the tensioning device after the tension spring therein has been tensioned. The tension can be adjusted to a desired work point after the tensioning element has been mounted on a motor frame or the like.
