A bearing arrangement includes two bearing rings which can be rotated with respect to one another about a common axis, an annular module carrier, an encoder, and at least one sensor module. The module carrier is arranged axially on one of the two bearing rings. The encoder is arranged on the other one of the two bearing rings. The at least one sensor module is arranged in the module carrier. In some embodiments, the module carrier has a cut-out on at least one of its axial side surfaces. through which a lubricant can be introduced into the bearing. The cut-out is arranged circumferentially in the region away from the sensor modules. In other embodiments, the module carrier has at least one predetermined break point for configuring a cut-out.

Bearing arrangements, and module carrier for them

A roller tappet includes a housing, and the housing includes a first housing element and a second housing element. The first housing element has a receiving region configured to receive a roller of the roller tappet, and the second housing element is separate from the first housing element and is forged. The first housing element may be formed from metal sheet.

A bearing assembly includes a thermosetting plastic bearing carrier having a receptacle for holding a bearing ring of the bearing and an injection molded connector between an inner circumference of the receptacle and an outer circumference of the bearing ring made from a thermoplastic plastic. The connector may include axial end portions that radially overlap portions of the bearing carrier. Also a method for forming a bearing assembly.

Bearing arrangement and method for producing same

A bearing assembly includes a roller bearing connected with a plate-shaped bearing support. The bearing support has a receiving bore for an outer ring of the roller bearing, and the outer ring of the roller bearing is affixed to the bearing support with two affixing plates that are fixed to first and second end sides of the bearing support. The two affixing plates clamp the outer ring at two clamping surfaces. An axial spacing of the first and second end sides of the bearing support is smaller than an axial spacing of the clamping surfaces of the outer ring, and a spring element configured to act in the axial direction is disposed between one of the two affixing plates and the bearing support.

A bearing assembly includes a roller bearing connected with a bearing support having a plate-shaped section. The bearing support has a receiving bore for an outer ring of the roller bearing, and the outer ring of the roller bearing is affixed to the bearing support with two affixing plates that are fixed to first and second end sides of the bearing support and that clamp the outer ring at two clamping surfaces. An axial spacing of the first and second end sides of the bearing support is smaller than an axial spacing of the clamping surfaces of the outer ring, and the two affixing plates have a different mechanical strength.

Bearing assembly

A bearing arrangement is disclosed having a bearing and a bearing support. The bearing is coupled to the bearing support at an axial side. The bearing provides first and second bearing rings that define a bearing interior there between. A first groove is formed at the first bearing ring's radial side facing the second bearing ring. A coupling element is arranged at the bearing's axial side facing the bearing support. The coupling element includes a first, preferably nose-shaped, radial protrusion that is in engagement with the first groove, and a second radial protrusion, which at least partially encompasses the bearing support at a side facing away from the bearing, so that the coupling element fastens the bearing to the bearing support. A coupling element for such a bearing arrangement is also provided.
