Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for examining a beam of charged particles, including the following steps: producing persistent interactions of the beam with a sample at a plurality of positions of the sample relative to the beam and deriving at least one property of the beam by analyzing the spatial distribution of the persistent interactions at the plurality of positions.

Abstract: An outer contact surface element of a one-way clutch is configured to contact at least one clamping body of the one-way clutch when an inner ring of the one-way clutch rotates in a first direction. The outer contact surface element includes a hollow-cylindrical section, and at least one radially outwardly projecting lug. The outer contact surface element may also include features for connecting the outer contact surface element to a support bearing.

Abstract: A bearing assembly includes two rolling-element bearings having inner and outer rings and rolling elements between the rings, the rolling-element bearings being configured to be axially preloaded, at least one of the inner and outer rings including an axially adjustable flange ring forming a flange for the rolling elements, the flange ring having a first section axially slidably mounted on one of the bearing rings and a second section axially adjacent to the first section, the second section including a thread, and the thread being configured to threadably engage a counterthread of a separate component at a location axially spaced from the bearing ring.

Abstract: A temperature compensation ring configured to compensate for changes in a temperature-dependent distance between two components includes a base body made from an elastic material and a first reinforcing body and a second reinforcing body, each of the first and second reinforcing bodies including a harder material than the material of the base body. The first and second reinforcing bodies are disposed at opposite end surfaces of the base body and partially define an outer periphery of the temperature compensation ring.

Abstract: A bearing ring includes a temperature compensation ring made from an elastic material vulcanized or otherwise materially bonded onto an outer surface of the bearing ring, the outer surface being oriented in a radial direction. The bearing ring includes a radially encircling groove, and in an unloaded state of the temperature compensation ring, that is, independently of an application of axial pressure against the temperature compensation ring, the temperature compensation ring fills the groove in an interference-fit manner.

Abstract: An outer ring for a rolling-element bearing includes a first region having a first diameter on an outer surface of the outer ring, a second region on the outer surface of the outer ring, the second region having a second diameter larger than the first diameter, a circumferential groove at a boundary between the first region and the second region, and a filler in the groove. The filler is configured such that a temperature compensation ring can be mounted to the outer ring at the first region so that it abuts on an axial end of the second region, the temperature compensation ring having an inner diameter, at least in the region which is disposed over the groove in the radial direction, that corresponds to the outer diameter of the first region.

Abstract: A bearing assembly includes at least first, second and third raceway elements that are each separable from each other and at least first, second and third rows of truncated-cone-shaped rolling elements. The first and second raceway elements are disposed side-by-side in an axial direction of the bearing assembly and oppoe the third raceway element in a radial direction of the bearing assembly. The first and second rows of rolling elements are disposed between the first raceway element and the third raceway element and the third row of rolling elements is disposed between the second raceway element and the third raceway element. The rolling elements of the first and second rows commonly roll on a first raceway of the third raceway element and the rolling elements of the third row roll on a second raceway of the third raceway element, which is not parallel to the first raceway.
