Abstract: Compensating device able to compensate the load acting on e upper bearings (13-17) of shafts of rolls (10) supported at only one end on rolling stands (18), such rolls (10) comprising shafts (11) having at least two bearings (13-14), an upper bearing (13) and a lower bearing (14), the device comprising springs (20) able to provide a resiliently yielding constraint between such bearings (13-14).

Abstract: A bearing radially interposable between two relative rotatable parts such as the hub and friction disc or annular guide of a clutch plate for an automotive clutch. The bearing has inner and outer bearing surfaces each divided into at least two separate bearing zones. The inner bearing zones are angularly offset relative to the outer bearing zones. Relative radial clearance is defined by radial recesses between the bearing zones of the respective bearing surfaces which prevents additional friction developing between the bearing surface and the associated part and permits radial bending between bearing zones to compensate for limited axial misalignment between the parts. Cutouts in the rim of the bearing provide elastic deformation.

Abstract: A device for preventing a tubular bushing assembly from slipping out of a hole in a bushing receiving portion, wherein the tubular bushing assembly is incorporated in a pivot coupling portion between two members, and includes an inner sleeve, a resilient member and an outer sleeve, the tubular bushing assembly being fitted under pressure into a hole provided in the bushing receiving portion provided in the other member of the aforesaid two members, so as to receive in the inner sleeve a pivot extending from one of the aforesaid two members. A flange extends from one end of the outer sleeve radially outward of the sleeve along the opening edge of the bushing receiving portion, and the flange is held between the opening edge portion and a holder member removably joined to a support member provided in the bushing receiving portion.
