Abstract: The invention relates to a motion absorber comprising a housing (1), a connecting member (2) that is mounted to be movable with respect to the housing and that is linked with a movable part whose motion should be absorbed, and an absorber element that absorbs the motion of the connecting member (2) in the housing (1). Conventional motion absorbers are disadvantageous in that their operability is limited at wide temperature variations. The aim of the invention is therefor to provide a motion absorber whose absorbing effect is as independent of the ambient temperature as possible. To this end, the absorber element is a two-part structure and comprises a permanent magnet (3) and an opposite pole (4). One part is arranged on the housing (1) and the other part is arranged on the connecting member. The magnetic force acting between the permanent magnet (3) and the antipole (4) absorbs the motion of the connecting member (2) in the housing (1).

Abstract: A motion-restraining arrangement is described, which has a motion restrainer, which has a housing that is essentially stationary. It includes a restraining device, and a connecting member movable relative to the housing. The housing can be connected to a movable part to be restrained in its movement. Furthermore a switch having two contacts is connected to the housing. The operating member for the switch is provided on the connecting member. The switch may be operated by the operating member pressing contacts against one another.

Abstract: A separator or cage for ball bearings has a plurality of pockets. Each pocket has an internal pocket surface toward the ball. At each half of the pitch circle of the pocket around the ball there are two approximately cylindrical first surface sections which are spaced nearer to the ball, a respective spherically curved second pocket surface section which extends over the respective pole of the ball and which has a diameter smaller than the ball, and a respective third pocket surface section which extends over the equator of the ball at each circumferential end of the pocket and which has a larger diameter than the ball. The pocket surface provides good lubrication support for the ball to minimize rubbing of the ball against the separator pocket surface.
