A method for producing a component of a sliding bearing includes a) providing a metal bolt with a cylindrical lateral surface and two end faces; b) coating the lateral surface of the bolt with a soldering flux or material; c) providing a metal sheet made of bronze and forming it into a cylindrical sleeve having a longitudinal slot, a first side of the metal sheet forming an inside is coated with a solder material or flux before or after the forming process, the lateral surface of the bolt or the inside of the sleeve having soldering flux; d) sliding the sleeve onto the lateral surface of the bolt; and e) bonding the lateral surface and sleeve soldering. A sliding bearing produced by the method includes the component in a bore of a planetary wheel, and a second side of the metal sheet and planetary wheel are in direct sliding contact.

Cages for ball bearings are disclosed. In one example, a ball bearing cage includes two side rings interconnected by webs. Rolling element pockets, each of which may have a square basic shape with rounded corners, may be formed in a circumferential direction between the webs. The side rings, together with the webs, may form a guide contour of each rolling element pocket. The pockets may have four convex side contours between the corners thereof, and the side contours may point in a direction opposite to rounded portions in the corners.

Ball bearing cage

An antifriction bearing cage is disclosed including cage pockets that are used for guiding rolling elements, in particular balls, and are formed by two lateral rings having a common axis of symmetry (R) and by webs interconnecting the lateral rings. The lateral rings are designed as single pieces along with the webs and contain a fabric. The fabric is composed of at least two types of different fibers which impart highly anisotropic properties to the fabric.

A sealing element for a bearing, in particular a rolling contact bearing, and to a bearing, in particular a rolling contact bearing. The sealing element has a sealing composed of an elastic material, at least one support element composed of a rigid material, an IC identification, and an antenna for the IC identification. The at least one support element is formed from a non-metallic material such that the sealing element remains sufficiently stable mechanically and the operation of the antenna suffers little interference.

A bearing device having a bearing which rotatably supports a shaft, and a safety bearing () which receives the shaft in the event of a failure of the bearing. The aim of extending the service life of the safety bearing in the bearing device described above is achieved according to the invention in that a bearing race () of the safety bearing () facing the shaft comprises a lateral surface () having a convex contour () facing toward the shaft.

A segment rolling bearing for an axial hydraulic pump, which can be integrated in a simple way. The segment rolling bearing has an outer raceway carrier, an inner raceway carrier, a plurality of rolling bodies, and a cage. The rolling bodies are arranged in the cage such that they roll between the outer raceway carrier and the inner raceway carrier in such a way that the outer raceway carrier can be pivoted about a common pivot axis with respect to the inner raceway carrier. The cage is connected to the inner and/or to the outer raceway carrier directly and captively in at least one connecting region, at least in the radial direction with respect to the common pivot axis.

A bottom bracket with a torque sensor unit. The bottom bracket has at least one pedal crank, a shaft that is non-rotatably connected to the at least one pedal crank, and a torque detection device for detecting a torque in the region of the shaft. The torque detection device has a first magnetization and a sensor which detects a change of the first magnetized due to a torque passed into the shaft. The bottom bracket allows a reliable and fast detection of torques, especially of the different torques of both pedal cranks. Utilizing the shaft, which is designed as a hollow shaft and the first magnetization, which is arranged on at least one section of the shaft.

A shaft arrangement, with a rotatable shaft supported in a rolling bearing, which has rolling elements and an outer race, a torsion sensor having a permanently magnetic ring and at least one magnetic field sensor fastened to a fixed sensor bracket attached to the outer race being provided. A torsion sensor can hereby be integrated in a rotating bearing in a simple design.

Shaft arrangement having a rolling bearing

A drive device, which has a drive shaft mounted in such a way as to rotate about an axis, two driving cranks which are connected to the drive shaft in an angularly rigid manner in relation to the axis in the peripheral direction, and an output element which is connected to the drive shaft and transmits torque between the drive shaft and a load element. To enable the measurement of the torque transmitted by the shaft as easily and economically as possible, the drive device has at least one magnetostrictive sensor which is connected to the drive shaft in a fixed manner and axially arranged between a driving crank and the output element.
