| 20110072632 | Hydraulically Positioned Shaft Bearing Attachment Method - A mounting system is disclosed for mounting a bearing assembly or other mechanical element to a shaft. The mounting system uses a tapered sleeve mechanism to secure the bearing assembly on the shaft. Specifically, a pressure loaded piston drives the sleeve from a pre-assembled position to an initial position. The initial position is determined by monitoring the pressure applied to the piston. Once the initial position has been reached, a linear indicator is used to measure the axial sleeve movement from the initial position to a final position. The system remains in place after the bearing is installed on the shaft and facilitates removal of the bearing assembly from the shaft. | 03-31-2011 |

| 20100260542 | Shaft Bearing Attachment System - A mounting system is disclosed for mounting a bearing assembly or other mechanical element to a shaft. The mounting system uses a tapered sleeve mechanism to secure the bearing assembly on the shaft. Specifically, a plurality of screws point load the tapered sleeve and drive it from a pre-assembled position to an initial position. Once the initial position has been reached a plurality of fasteners then drive the sleeve from the initial position to a final position. The difference between the initial position and final position determined by the width of a removable spacer used in the mounting system. The system also incorporates a jack screw mechanism used to dismount the bearing assembly from the shaft. | 10-14-2010 |
| 20100316318 | Outer Ring Seal for a Bearing and Method of Installing the Same - A bearing has an outer ring with an annular side face with an outer ring raceway on an inner peripheral surface of the outer ring and an interface formed on an outer peripheral surface at an axial end portion of the outer ring adjacent the annular side face. A compressible element is disposed at the interface. A seal carrier is deformingly connected to the outer ring with a portion of the seal carrier conforming to the interface with the compressible element disposed therebetween forming a seal between the outer ring and the portion of the seal carrier attached thereto. | 12-16-2010 |
