Replacing rigid plastic with elastomer indexation elements prevents breakage during handling, extending service life of automotive suspension struts.
Electromagnets levitate a rotor to transfer axial weight from mechanical bearings, extending lifetime by reducing raceway fatigue.
An elastomeric ring bearing compensates axis misalignments in screw conveyor shafts, extending service life against dust penetration.
Segmenting the cap into a profiled hard body and elastomeric soft seal resolves the trade-off between mounting precision and sealing effectiveness.
Curvilinear outer race and linear inner race allow bearing balls to slide axially, accommodating airframe deflections while maintaining torque transmission.
A pivotable bearing assembly accommodates drive shaft misalignment while maintaining vibration isolation through dynamic rotation.
A motorcycle transmission uses an elastic member pressed against bearing outer races to absorb mechanical vibrations.
Curved arm and displacement pin automate ball mounting in angular bearings, reducing manual handling time.
Segmented bearings with integrated axial stops prevent cage sagging, reducing actuating forces and easing gear shifting in manual transmissions.
Stepped shaft portions and a stopper member constrain axial runout in a rotary transmitting assembly under high radial and axial loads.
An insert with recessed channels creates recirculation paths for a full complement of balls, increasing axial load capacity without expanding the envelope.
