Abstract: The invention relates to a ball bearing with an inner race (2) and an outer race (1) disposed coaxially with respect to it, wherein between inner race (2) and outer race (1) bearing balls (6) are disposed which are guided by means of a cage (3), the cage (3) being comprised of a composite material. The invention addresses the problem of proposing a ball bearing, which combines a long service life with the properties of being capable of operating after a lubrication system failure. This is attained thereby that the composite material comprises epoxide resin as well as fibers.

Abstract: The invention relates to a tribological device, in particular a miniature anti-friction bearing, with rolling bodies which are resistant to superheated steam up to a component temperature of 450 degrees and which travel along roller tracks, the structure of the rolling bodies being based on zirconium dioxide. According to the invention, this object is achieved by the fact that at least the surface of the rolling bodies consists of zirconium dioxide that is stabilized with MgO and/or CeO2 and/or Sc2O3, the zirconium oxide at least partially having a tetragonal structure. In a further embodiment of the invention, the stabilization is achieved with Y2O3, the primary particle size being less than 300 nm, preferably less than 100 nm.

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).
