  • Publication number: 20120213462
    Abstract: A needle roller bearing for a bearing arrangement, which has cage-guided cylindrical needle rollers arranged between and in rolling contact with a conical outer raceway and a conical inner raceway. For manufacturing, for economic purposes, and to keep the dimensions of the needle roller bearing as small as possible, at least one of the two conical raceways is part of a thin-walled bearing bushing that is made without chip removal and has an outer cylindrical fitting surface for an interference fit in a housing.

  • Patent number: 6186301
    Abstract: A synchronizer element for use in a synchronizing device of a manual transmission, includes a hub secured in fixed rotative engagement on a gearshaft, and a guide member fixedly secured to the hub and having a splined outer circumference formed with at least one pocket for receiving a loading member and in mesh with a shift sleeve moveable between axially spaced pinion gears rotatably supported on the shaft. The synchronizer element is made of two separate parts which are so joined together as to form pockets for thrust members which are held captive and guided in the pockets.
