A bearing component of a rolling element bearing, such as a rolling element, a bearing ring, and/or a cage for retaining rolling elements of a rolling element bearing, has an outer surface with a plating layer providing at least 97 wt. % tin. The tin of the plating layer provides alpha and beta phases of tin in an alpha/beta phase ratio of less than 10%.

Electroplated component of a rolling element bearing

A machine arrangement comprising a crankshaft which is supported by at least one roller bearing including bearing rings and roller elements between the bearing rings, wherein the roller bearing is connected with a device for delivering of a lubricant to the area of rolling contact between the bearing rings and the roller elements. To improve the supply of lubricant to the roller bearing and to supply the right amount of lubricant in dependence of the temperature of the roller bearing, the device for delivering of the lubricant comprises a lubricant reservoir and a flow path from the lubricant reservoir to the area of rolling contact, wherein a valve element is arranged in the flow path for controlling at least one of a flow of lubricant and a pressure of lubricant in dependence of the temperature of at least one of the roller bearing and the valve element.

Machine arrangement

The invention relates to an assembly providing a crankshaft having a shaft section that is rotationally supported by a rolling element bearing having an outer ring that is radially divided into two ring halves. To reduce friction and accommodate misalignment, the invention proposes that the bearing which supports the shaft section is a toroidal roller bearing.
