Abstract: A screw compressor element may have a housing; a cylinder bearing including an inner ring, an outer ring, a raceway, and a cylindrical rolling element that contacts the inner ring and the outer ring at a location of the raceway thereof; and a ball bearing including an inner ring, an outer ring, a raceway, and a ball shaped rolling element that contacts the inner ring and the outer ring at a location of the raceway thereof, wherein a rotor is rotatably arranged by way of the cylinder bearing and the ball bearing.

Abstract: Screw compressor element provided with a housing wherein a rotor is rotatably arranged by way of two bearings, respectively being a cylinder bearing (3) and a ball bearing (4), each provided with an inner ring (5, 6) and an outer ring (7, 8), separated by respectively cylindrical, or ball-shaped rolling elements (9, 10) that contact the inner ring (5, 6) and the outer ring (7, 8) at the location of a raceway (11a, 11b, 12a, 12b), characterised in that, next to the respective raceway (11a, 12a), the inner rings (5, 6) of the aforementioned bearings (3, 4) have a smaller outer diameter (B) than the respective raceway (11a, 12a) on the side facing the other bearing (3, 4) and in that next; to the respective raceway (11a, 12a), the inner rings (5, 6) of the bearings have a greater outer diameter (C, D) than the respective raceway (11a, 11b) on the side facing away from the other bearing (3, 4).

Abstract: A bearing assembly for supporting a screw-compressor rotor includes a shaft having a center of mass, at least one angular contact ball bearing mounted on the shaft, and at least one cylindrical roller bearing mounted on the shaft. A spacing from the angular contact ball bearing to the center of mass is shorter than a spacing from the cylindrical roller bearing to the center of mass.

Abstract: Embodiments relate to a rolling-element bearing comprising at least one outer ring (2) and at least one inner ring (3). Between the same a plurality of rolling elements (4) are arranged to support the inner ring (3) rotatably with respect to the outer ring (2). The outer ring (3) comprises at least one raceway (5, 7) more for the plurality of rolling elements (4) than the inner ring (3).
