A bearing mounting device and bearing for economical replacement of worn and damaged bearings in a machine housing is disclosed. The bearing mounting device comprises a radially expandable sleeve having radially movable segments along the periphery thereof and a tapered, threaded bore. A bearing with a tapered, threaded outer diameter complementary to the threaded bore of the sleeve threadingly engages the bore of the sleeve, and tightening of the bearing into the bore expands the segments of th...

A bearing is disclosed comprising two relatively movable parts with one of them having an arcuate outer surface. A seal of special construction is used to entrap lubricant and keep out water and dirt. The seal has three sealing edges. Each of the three sealing edges contacts the movable member having the arcuate outer surface, providing two voids to entrap lubricant which acts to lubricate the sealing edges and provides additional sealing.

A rolling bearing holding two or more rolling elements 13 between inner ring 10 and outer ring 11 in such a way that these rolling elements can freely roll, and packed with a grease is described, wherein the grease is a mixture of at least one of metal complex soap-based grease and urea-based grease, each incorporated with 8 to 35% by mass of thickening agent, and fluorine-based grease comprising perfluoropolyether oil as a base oil incorporated with 15 to 42.5% by mass of polytetrafluoroethylen...

A bearing housing 1 is designed to accommodate a bearing 4 within its outer walls 3. The bearing 4 upon rotation generates a centrifugally dispersed oil spray from its peripheral edge 7 and this spray is collected upon a facing surface of the wall 3. An out-take 6 has a relatively wide chordal arc opening across which a baffle 8 is presented such that there is a spaced opening 10 between a leading edge 9 of the baffle and a portion 3a of the housing 1. In such circumstances oil is scavenged from...

A bearing assembly including an inner ring, an outer ring, a ball bearing assembly, a needle bearing assembly, and seals. The inner ring defines a ball raceway and a needle bearing raceway. The outer ring defines a ball raceway and a needle bearing raceway. A plurality of circumferentially arranged balls are received by said inner and outer ring ball raceways and a plurality of circumferentially arranged needle rollers are received by said inner and outer needle bearing raceways. The seals seal ...

A thrust bearing, in particular for a turbo charger, has an essentially disc shaped bearing body (10) with a central through opening (12) for a shaft, at least one bearing surface (14) surrounding the through opening (12) for a collar which is placed on the shaft, and at least one oil supply channel which leads from a radially outer region of the bearing body to the through opening (12). In order to realize a cost effective manufacture of the thrust bearing it is proposed according to the invent...

A roller bearing for rotatably supporting a rotating shaft of an internal combustion engine between a main body and a cap of the internal combustion engine. The roller bearing including: a plurality of rollers; a retainer which is cirumferentially splittable and supports the plurality of rollers; and an outer race which is cirumferentially splittable and forms a raceway surface for the plurality of rollers. The retainer is split into a plurality of retaining members. The outer race is split into...

A bearing assembly suitable for use in conjunction with x-ray device having a rotating target anode and electron source disposed in an evacuated enclosure. The bearing assembly includes a shaft having a rotor hub to which the anode is mounted. The shaft cooperates with front and rear bearing rings to define front and rear races, and a spacer facilitates positioning of the bearing rings. Front and rear ball sets are confined in the front and rear races, respectively. A bearing housing receives th...

A thrust bearing assembly includes an upper thrust bearing and a lower thrust bearing for use in an engine assembly of a vehicle and which, are preferably, identically configured. The upper and lower thrust bearings each include an arcuate bearing shell with a concave inner surface and a convex outer surface and each may be formed with a pair of axially spaced flanges extending radially outwardly of the bearing shells. The flanges may be formed as one piece with the bearing shell and the thickne...
