Arrangement with rolling-contact elements

摘要

An arrangement contains rolling-contact elements (2) which are guided by means of a guide ring (4) and are arranged between two supporting rings (6, 8). The object to be achieved is to reduce the friction coefficient while avoiding slip and reducing friction and, at the same time, allowing deformation. To achieve this object, the proposal is to mount each of the rolling-contact elements (2) rotatably on and/or by means of a pin (14) and to make the guide ring (4) flexible in order to allow the guide elements (2) to execute movements relative to one another. The arrangement is designed particularly as a radial or thrust bearing and can also be designed as a friction transmission. <IMAGE>
