A component of a rolling-element bearing, such as a bearing inner ring having an inner ring flange, a bearing outer ring having an outer ring flange or a rolling element having an end surface, includes a solid slide layer having a lower coefficient of friction than a material to which the slide layer is attached which slide layer reduces frictional contact between the component and another component against which the slide layer slides during bearing operation.

Component of a rolling-element bearing and method for manufacturing a component of a rolling-element bearing

An injection-molded rolling-element bearing cage has a radially outer-lying surface, a radially inner-lying surface, first and second radial walls connecting the radially outer-lying surface and the radially inner-lying surface, and a plurality of receiving pockets configured to receive rolling elements. The receiving pockets are spaced from the first radial wall by a first annular band of the radially inner-lying surface and from the second radial wall by a second annular band of the radially inner-lying surface, and at least one projection extends radially inward from the radially inner-lying surface into a spaced defined by the radially inner-lying surface, at least part of the at least one projection being located in the first annular band.

Rolling-element bearing cage

A slide bearing bush with an integrated sealing element permits a relatively simple and economical production of the slide bearing bush. The slide bearing bush includes a bush part and a cover part. The bush part and/or the cover part is provided with an annular groove formed for holding the sealing element, and the slide bearing bush comprised of the bush part and the cover part possesses a cylindrical outside contour.
