An axial anti-friction bearing for mounting of the spring pad in a shock absorber leg of a vehicle wheel. The bearing including two races supporting rolling bodies between them. Each race is supported by a separate annular plastic cap. The two caps are snapped together in a sliding manner with respect to each other by holding noses to form a structural unit. At least one pin and preferably a plurality thereof protrude approximately axially from the cap. The spring plate to which the bearing is supported includes cutouts, in the form of drain holes in the spring plate, placed to each receive one of the pins. The bearing is thereby held in snap like manner on the spring plate via the pins. Each pin is provided with a hook and each extends over an arcuate portion of the circumference of the spring plate, approximately 30.degree..

Axial anti-friction bearing

A guide system for the longitudinal recoil movement of a cannon has a pair of guide units spaced apart along the cannon barrel and each having a plurality of rollers angularly spaced about the barrel. At least one roller is elastically biased against the barrel while other rollers of the units are radially fixed to provide firm guidance of the barrel without play under all conditions and enabling the yieldable roller to adjust to the increase in barrel size with increasing temperature resulting from firing of the weapon.
