20110260368 | METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING CERAMIC COMPONENTS - The invention concerns a method for manufacturing a ceramic material with pseudo-isotropic microstructure. The method for tailoring the microstructure for manufacturing of sintered ceramic components involves a spark plasma sintering (SPS) process. By performing the SPS process in at least two steps it is possible to separate densification from grain growth. An initial sintering step at a first temperature and a first pressure, followed by a controlled grain growth step at a higher temperature and lower pressure makes it possible to manufacture ceramic components with controlled microstructure and improved mechanical properties. | 10-27-2011 |

Each bearing includes a bearing outer ring having a cylindrical outer circumferential surface. The bearing support comprises at least first and second portions that are connected together. The first portion is formed as a component that has cylindrical openings configured to receive or seat the respective bearing outer rings and to surround the entire circumference of the respective bearing outer ring. The second portion is formed as a support plate. A bearing assembly includes the bearing support with a bearing seated in each of the respective cylindrical openings. | 09-15-2011 |
20110211782 | Bearing Arrangement - A bearing assembly comprises at least two adjacently-disposed bearings. Each bearing includes a bearing outer ring having a cylindrical outer circumferential surface. A bearing support retains the at least two bearings such that respective rotational axes of the at least two bearings extend in parallel. A spacer has at least two cylindrical openings configured to receive the respective cylindrical outer circumferential surfaces of the bearing outer rings such that a circumferential inner surface of each opening covers at least a portion of a width of the bearing outer ring received therein and surrounds an entire circumference of the bearing outer ring received therein. The bearing support is not fixedly connected to the spacer. | 09-01-2011 |
20110002571 | Bearing Assembly with Elastomeric Sleeve Element - A process for producing a bearing assembly includes positioning a first sleeve element in an injection mould, the injection mould having a cylindrical recess with a diameter for receiving the first sleeve element and the outside diameter of the first sleeve element being lesser than the diameter of the recess. A second sleeve element is positioned concentrically within the first sleeve element in the injection mould to define an annular chamber and elastomeric material in a molten state is injected under pressure into the annular chamber between the sleeve elements such that the outside diameter of the first sleeve element is expanded. The elastomeric material is allowed to solidify in the annular chamber between the two sleeve elements and the assembly of sleeves and elastomeric material are removed as a unit from the injection mould. | 01-06-2011 |
20100152076 | LUBRICANT AND USE OF A LUBRICANT - A Lubricant comprises a carboxylic-acid-amide which is based on aliphatic unbranched, alicylic and/or aromatic chains with chain lengths from 2 to 60 carbon atoms. | 06-17-2010 |
20100152075 | USE OF A LUBRICANT - A use of a lubricant comprising at least one reaction product of mono-di- and/or poly-isocyanate with unbranched and/or branched, unsaturated and/or saturated, alicyclic poly-amine with carbon numbers from 5 to 24, at least between at least two elements, which are moveable against each other. | 06-17-2010 |
