  • Patent number: 9841053
    Abstract: The invention relates to a bearing assembly having a back-up bearing (2), which has an outer ring (4) arranged in a housing construction (12) in a flexible manner. The flexibility has angle-dependent extreme values, namely at least one minimum and at least one maximum. According to the invention, this bearing assembly is characterized in that, within 360° with respect to the circumference of the outer ring (4), there are more than two angles at which there is at least one local extreme value of the flexibility of the outer ring (4).

  • Patent number: 9388853
    Abstract: A bearing element for two spatial directions, including a series of first rolling bodies (1), which roll on a first side (2) of an intermediate part (3) in a first direction, and a series of second rolling bodies (4), which roll on a second side (5) of the intermediate part and on a fastening part (6) in a second direction that differs to the first direction, the fastening part having a shaft (7), and a spring element (8) being arranged around the shaft. This bearing element addresses the problem of providing a bearing element for two spatial directions, which can absorb great forces perpendicularly to the two spatial directions and which is of compact design.

  • Publication number: 20140072253
    Abstract: A bearing arrangement for the rotatable mounting of a shaft (7) in relation to a housing (8), including a back-up bearing (9) which is designed as a rolling contact bearing, wherein the rolling contact bearing can absorb forces in the axial and radial direction and is designed in particular as an angular rolling bearing, especially as a two-row angular ball bearing, wherein the rolling contact bearing (9) is substantially left open in the radial direction. The object addressed by the invention is that of providing a bearing arrangement with a back-up bearing for a shaft, which bearing arrangement can better absorb in particular the forces occurring in the mounting of rapidly rotating, solid shafts.

  • Publication number: 20140072254
    Abstract: A bearing arrangement for mounting a shaft on a connection structure, the arrangement including a housing (1), a bearing which supports the shaft, and a backup bearing which includes a bearing ring that makes contact with the housing (1). According to the invention, the problem of providing a bearing arrangement which includes a backup bearing and allows the forces which arise in a loaded state to be better absorbed in the backup bearing, is solved by a slit (9) being provided in the housing (1), this slit being designed as an opening and extending substantially in a circumferential direction.
