Patent number: 8057184Abstract: The invention relates to a propeller blade bearing, for the propeller blades of aircraft propellers that can be adjusted along their longitudinal axis, a plurality of propeller blades being individually fastened on a propeller hub in a corresponding number of blade seats. Every propeller blade, at its blade base, has a primary adjustable bearing and a secondary adjustable bearing and is received so as to be rotatable along its longitudinal axis inside a blade seat. The primary and the secondary adjustable bearing are configured as angular contact ball bearings that have respective upper bearing races and lower bearing races and rolling bodies interposed between said bearing races. A lubricating oil reservoir is arranged in the propeller hub and supplies the primary and the secondary adjustable bearing with lubricating oil when the propeller rotates. Every propeller blade is configured as a completely pre-assembled unit with the primary adjusting bearing and the secondary adjusting bearing.Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 2005Date of Patent: November 15, 2011Assignee: Schaeffler KGInventor: Wilhelm Sebald

Patent number: 5683224Abstract: The invention enables reliable feeding of lubricant for the rotor mounting of an exhaust turbocharger, wherein the rotary shaft is supported in a two row antifriction bearing, so that the lubricant is uniformly distributed to each of the rows of rolling bodies although the lubricant is supplied from one axial side of the bearing. The bearing inner ring is separated into two rings. A first inner ring is below and defines the inner race for one row of rolling bodies. Below the other row of rolling bodies is a second inner race comprised of two inner ring parts. The inner ring for the first row of rolling bodies extends radially inwardly and axially past the second inner ring parts for the second row of rolling bodies. An annular channel in the axially inner, first ring part of the second inner ring is connected with an axially extending passage that transmits lubricant to the annular channel.Type: GrantFiled: October 1, 1996Date of Patent: November 4, 1997Assignee: FAG Aircraft/Super Precision Bearing GmbHInventors: Wilhelm Sebald, Gerhard Kreiselmeier
