Appl. No.:

11/937538

Inventors:

Frederick S. Gyuricsko - Torrington CT, US
Jay W. Phoenix - Bristol CT, US

Assignee:

Roller Bearing Company of America, Inc. - Oxford CT

International Classification:

B62B 5/00

US Classification:

280 7911, 280 792, 280 43

Abstract:

A bearing includes an inner race member having an end surface. An outer race member is disposed about the inner race member. The outer race member has an internal shoulder for engaging the end surface of the inner race member. The inner and outer race members are configured to define a raceway between them and to define a snap ring seat between them. There are cylindrical rollers in the raceway and a snap ring in the snap ring seat. The bearing may be provided as a follower head on a cam follower or may be eccentrically mounted on a drive shaft to serve as a cam. A cargo dolly may include such a cam near a wheel, to help the wheel overcome an obstacle. A bearing can be assembled by inserting the inner race member into the outer race member, disposing cylindrical rollers in the raceway and disposing a snap ring in the snap ring seat.

International Classification:

B64C 3/50

US Classification:

244214

Abstract:

An actuation system for deploying and retracting a lift assisting device of a wing of an aircraft, is presented. The actuation system includes a track pivotally coupled to the lift assisting device, a shaft rotating in response to flight control signals to deploy or retract the lift assisting device, means for actuating the lift assisting device between a retracted position and a deployed position along an arcuate path, a plurality of track roller bearings and a plurality of side roller bearings. The roller bearings rotatably contact the track to guide the track along the arcuate path. The track roller bearings are comprised of an outer ring, a split inner ring and liners disposed between bearing surfaces of the outer and the inner rings. The split inner ring is configured for accommodating deflection and bending of a mounting pin coupling the track roller bearing in proximity to the track.

US Classification:

244 993

Abstract:

An aircraft wing includes a wing structure, a slat panel mounted on a track, and an actuator mechanism on the wing structure coupled to the track for moving the slat panel between a deployed position and a retracted position. Track roller bearings on the wing structure rotatably contact the track, and side roller bearings on the wing structure rotatably contact at least one side of the track. In another configuration, the actuator mechanism includes a shaft rotatably mounted on the wing structure, an actuator arm coupled to the track by a bearing linkage, and an actuator lever coupled to the shaft by a bearing linkage and to the actuator arm by a bearing linkage. At least one bearing linkage includes a spherical plain bearing.

International Classification:

F16C 33/36
F16C 33/62

Abstract:

In one aspect, the present invention resides in an edge flap arrangement for an aircraft wing that has a main flap element and an actuator for moving the main flap element relative to the wing, a linkage arrangement that supports the main flap element from the aircraft wing for movement relative to the wing, the linkage arrangement including a drop link and a hinge point. The fixed strut and the drop link are pivotally connected by the hinge point. The hinge point includes a bearing. The bearing is an hourglass bearing assembly that has an inner raceway outer raceway. The outer raceway is positioned around the inner raceway. A plurality of rollers is disposed between the inner raceway and the outer raceway. The plurality of rollers, the outer raceway and/or the inner raceway are manufactured from CREN and/or CRES.

US Classification:

244 993, 439 32

Abstract:

An electrical conductor for a bearing defines an annular base and is manufactured from an electrically conductive material. The electrical conductor includes a first electrical connector positioned proximate a radially outer peripheral area of the annular base. The electrical conductor includes a second electrical connector positioned proximate a radially inner peripheral area of the annular base. The second electrical connector defines one or more contact edges extending away from the annular base. The contact edge is configured for sliding electrical contact with the bearing.
