Abstract: A planet carrier (2) for a gearbox is provided, especially for an automatic transmission or a power-shift gearbox. The planet carrier (2) includes at least one planet gear (4) that is in constant contact with a sun gear and an internal geared wheel. The planet carrier (2) is formed from two parts and includes a single piece flange part (11) and a single piece cup body (12) formed in a step-type manner. The two components are rotationally symmetrical or approximately rotationally symmetrical, and are arranged with one at least partially inside the other. The internal diameter of the external part is adapted to the internal diameter of the internal part in an overlapping area. The two components are connected together at contact points. The components are positioned in a precise manner in relation to each other in the axial, radial and peripheral directions based on the construction. The individual components can be produced in a simple and economical manner through deep drawing.

Abstract: The invention relates to thin-walled rolling bearings, such as needle bearings, which are produced without the removal of material and the outer rings of which form a structural unit and are produced from a cold-rolled strip. According to the invention, the outer rings are produced from a cold-formable, fully hardenable steel, a ratio of from 1:20 to 1:5 being set between their wall thickness and the diameter of the bearing needles, and the fully hardened wall having a core hardness of ?600 HV and a surface hardness of ?680 HV. The invention makes it possible for bearings to withstand higher static bearings than bearings made from conventional steels while taking up the same installation space.

Abstract: A planet carrier (2) for a gearbox, especially an automatic or power shift gearbox, is provided, including at least one planet gear (4) which is connected to a sun gear and a rotor wheel. The planet carrier is embodied in two parts and is made in two bodies (11, 12) which are formed with a step-like shape and which are arranged one within the other. The internal diameter of the axially extending segments of the external body (11) is adapted to the external diameters of the internal body (12). The bodies are positioned in a precise manner in relation to each other during construction. The individual components can be produced in a simple manner by shaping the sheet steel in a non-cutting manner.

Abstract: A combined radial and axial bearing is defined by the fact that the bearing ring (1) of the radial bearing is held at an axial end by a mounting bore in the runner plate (2) of the axial bearing, and the positively locking engagement is brought about by means of a ring (3) which is arranged between the bearing ring (1) and runner plate and is configured in such a way that the bearing ring (1) and runner plates (2) are prevented from rotating with respect to one another in the circumferential direction but limited axial displacement is possible.

Abstract: A bearing (1, 30) for the longitudinally moveable mounting of an inner profile (2) and of an outer profile (3) on one another, the inner profile (2) and the outer profile (3) being moveable relative to one another along a longitudinal axis (1a, 30a) of the bearing (1, 30), and the bearing (1, 30) transmitting torques between the inner profile (2) and the outer profile (3), and, in the bearing (1, 30), a bearing play directed transversely with respect to the longitudinal axis (1a, 30a) being compensated elastically, with the result that the inner profile (2) and the outer profile (3) are prestressed relative to one another, free of the bearing play, by means of the bearing (1, 30), and, in this case, the profiles (2, 3) moved relative to one another transversely with respect to the longitudinal axis (1a, 30a) and supported on resiliently elastic elements (8) transversely with respect to longitudinal axis (1a, 30a) being freely moveable in relation to one another, at least by the amount of an operating play at

Abstract: A connecting rod of a crank mechanism is made as a single sheet metal part by shaping without chip removal out of sheet metal. The connecting rod comprises a base sheet (1) that is provided with an upper connecting rod eye (2) and a lower connecting rod eye (3). Each of the connecting rod_eyes (2, 3) has an integral cylindrical stamping (6, 7). The connecting rod further comprises a stiffening collar (8) that is integrally formed out of the base sheet (1) and is configured without interruption on the periphery of the base sheet (1).

Abstract: A radial rolling bearing with an outer race ring having at least one radial flange which engages in a peripheral groove of a cage in which rolling elements arranged in pockets are lodged, characterized in that the radial flange delimits an opening through which the cage, radially offset with regard to the bearing axis, can be inserted axially into the race ring by parallel displacement.
