  • Ball bearing and bearing assembly
    Patent number: 6655846
    Abstract: A ball bearing (6) and a bearing assembly are proposed which are intended especially for high-speed devices such as dental turbines, dental angle handpieces, turbomolecular pumps, etc., with balls (4) which are arranged between an inner ring (7) and an outer ring (8), which has substantially better anti-friction properties in rotating operation, especially during a startup phase, while simultaneously preventing the ball bearing or the bearing assembly being overloaded by the prestress or due to deviations in the geometry and and/or imprecision in assembly. This is achieved, according to the invention, by providing a device (4) to produce a tension force that is dependent on the speed (n).
