There is disclosed a bearing structure having an excellent fretting resistance. In the bearing structure in which a sliding bearing is mounted at its back face on a housing, and rotatably supports a rotation shaft at an inner face thereof, and a covering layer of an amorphous alloy is formed on at least one of the back face of the sliding bearing and an inner surface of the housing. Thanks to an excellent non-adhesion property of the amorphous alloy, adhesion is less liable to develop between th...

The ball rolling surfaces 11 and 12 of the pocket 7 holding the ball 5 are set in the two spherical surfaces which have a radius larger than the one of the ball 5 and the centers of which are deflected at an equal space from the center of the pocket on the pitch circle of the pocket disposing, and on the inside portions from the edge 9a of the width direction of the pocket and the edge 9b of the height direction of the pocket the contact portions 14 and 15 where the rolling surfaces of the balls...

A rolling bearing for a bearing unit is applicable to so-called under-race lubrication employing an oil air method or an oil mist method. A lubrication oil is supplied toward rolling elements (10) through oil supply channels (21) from a bottom (18) of an annular groove (14) formed in one end face (13) of an inner ring (5). A V-shaped groove (20) is provided along an edge of a raceway groove (8) of the inner ring (5) circumferentially of the inner ring. Outlet ports (25) of the oil supply channel...

As a ball for ball bearing there is provided a ceramics-coated ball made of a steel having almost the same linear thermal expansion coefficient as that of the bearing ring of the ball bearing and coated with a ceramics material. In this arrangement, even when the temperature during bearing assembly and the working temperature differs from each other, the release of preload or excessive preload can be prevented as in ceramics ball because the bearing and the ball can expand or shrink in the same ...

A bearing comprising a first side in alignment with a radial axis and a second side opposite said first side; said first side including a bumper for withstanding thrust, extending outwardly therefrom; and an inner-axial surface in alignment with an axial axis and an outer-axial surface opposite the inner-axial surface.

An annular cage for the rollers of a bearing is located in the annular space between two bearing races and is normally spaced from both races when concentric. The cage is so constructed that, when unbalanced forces on the cage during rotation in the bearing tend to move the cage from its concentric position into contact with a piloting surface, hydrodynamic forces are developed which act to keep the cage out of contact with that surface.

A bearing arrangement is provided in which bearings (60) are held captive between opposing bearing surfaces of laces (24, 62). A closeable delivery hole (64) provides a route through which bearings can be inserted into or removed from the space between the races (24, 62). A ball rake (54) is moveable into engagement with the bearings (60) and is rotatable so as to sweep the bearings towards the delivery hole for removal.

A bearing material mainly comprising plastics and a plastic bearing made thereof. The bearing material is composed of 30 to 98 wt % of glassy carbon and 70 to 2 wt % of plastics, and has persistent, excellent abrasion resistance, sliding properties, and heat resistance.

A rolling bearing provided with measures to suppress a rise in temperature. The rolling bearing comprises inner and outer races, a plurality of rolling elements 16 interposed between the inner and outer races, and a cage for retaining the rolling elements 16. On the use conditions that the direction of load is stationary to the outer/inner race and rotational with respect to the inner/outer race of the two races, the cage 17 is guided for rotation with outer/inner regions of its pocket surfaces ...

A ball bearing (6) and a bearing assembly are proposed which are intended especially for high-speed devices such as dental turbines, dental angle handpieces, turbomolecular pumps, etc., with balls (4) which are arranged between an inner ring (7) and an outer ring (8), which has substantially better anti-friction properties in rotating operation, especially during a startup phase, while simultaneously preventing the ball bearing or the bearing assembly being overloaded by the prestress or due to ...
