    摘要: A bearing assembly is disclosed herein. The bearing assembly includes a first inner ring and a second inner ring, as well as an outer ring. A first plurality of rolling elements are arranged to be supported between the first inner ring and the outer ring. A second plurality of rolling elements are arranged to be supported between the second inner ring and the outer ring. A third plurality of rolling elements are arranged to be supported between the second inner ring and the outer ring. The second plurality of rolling elements is arranged axially between the first and third plurality of rolling elements. Various dimensions and aspects of the bearing assembly are designed in order to provide increased efficiency and a reduced envelope.

    摘要: A sealing arrangement for a wheel bearing includes a carrier element connectable to a first bearing part of the wheel bearing, a resilient sealing element, and a counterflow plate connectable to a second bearing part of the wheel bearing. The resilient sealing element includes a resilient main body arranged on the carrier element, first and second axial sealing lips extending away from the resilient main body, and a radial sealing lip extending away from the resilient main body. The counterflow plate is arranged with one side facing the carrier element such that the first and second axial sealing lips, and the radial sealing lip, are in sliding contact with the counterflow plate. The first axial sealing lip, second axial sealing lip, and radial sealing lip rest against the counterflow plate with respective contact pressures.

    摘要: A gyroscopic roll stabilizer for a boat includes an enclosure mounted to a gimbal for rotation about a gimbal axis and configured to maintain a below-ambient pressure, and a flywheel assembly including a flywheel and flywheel shaft, with the flywheel assembly rotatably mounted inside the enclosure for rotation about a flywheel axis. The gyroscopic roll stabilizer also includes a motor operative to rotate the flywheel assembly and disposed inside the enclosure. A motor cooling circuit is configured to transfer heat away from the motor. The motor cooling circuit has a closed fluid pathway for recirculating cooling fluid therein. The fluid pathway includes a fluid channel jointly defined by the motor and the enclosure and having the cooling fluid therein. The gyroscopic roll stabilizer is configured to transfer heat away from the motor to the cooling fluid. Related methods are also disclosed.

    摘要: A bearing assembly includes a first bearing unit and a second bearing unit for supporting a shaft, in particular a rotor shaft within a centrifugal compressor in which an axial load acts on the shaft in a first or a second axial direction, the second axial direction being opposite to the first axial direction. When the axial load acts in the first axial direction, the first bearing unit is configured to support both an axial load and a radial load and the second bearing unit is configured to support a radial load. Alternatively, when the axial load acts in the second axial direction, the first bearing unit is configured to support a radial load and the second bearing unit is configured to support both an axial load and a radial load.

    摘要: A rotary shaft locking device includes a rotary shaft, a first angular contact ball bearing, a support, and an actuator. The rotary shaft is rotatable about a first axis and has a first contact surface. The first angular contact ball bearing includes an inner ring connected to the rotary shaft, an outer ring, and a plurality of balls disposed between the inner ring and the outer ring. The support has a second contact surface and rotatably supports the rotary shaft via the first angular contact ball bearing. The actuator is configured to move the rotary shaft and the inner ring with respect to the support and the outer ring in a first direction parallel to the first axis so that the first contact surface contacts the second contact surface to prohibit the rotary shaft from rotating and so that precompression that acts on the plurality of balls is reduced.
