The wheel bearing with two central ball bearings provides a high level of precision and smooth running performance. It also provides an effective seal while meeting demanding load capacity requirements. Positive locking is used to encapsulate the ball bearings with the wheel center. The central ball bearings are provided with two sealing caps (slipping sealing, so-called 2RS bearings) as standard. The ball bearings are lubricated using long-life grease and are maintenance-free under normal application conditions. The additional synthetic ball bearing cover provides protection for both the wheel hub and the thread. When the wheel is fitted in swivel and rigid rigs, no flanged bushes are required, unlike for conventional wheel bearings with ball bearings that are pressed in.

For delegation of functions of President under this section, see Ex. Ord. No. 12163, Sept. 29, 1979, 44 F.R. 56673, as amended, set out as a note under section 2381 of this title.

Section 601 of the International Security Assistance and Arms Export Control Act of 1976, referred to in subsec. (g)(4)(C)(ii), is section 601 of Pub. L. 94–329, which was not classified to the Code.

The wheel bearing with grooved ball bearing (also called a precision ball bearing) meets high standards in terms of load capacity, rolling characteristics (even at high speeds) and resistance to environmental factors. Grooved ball bearings have the lowest level of bearing clearance, and are mainly used in technically-demanding transport unit casters and heavy-duty casters. A cover cap provides protection against dust (non-rubbing seal, also known as a Z bearing). Ball bearings can be installed with one or two sealing caps (slipping sealing, also known as an RS or 2RS bearing) for special requirements. Wheel bearings with ball bearings sealed on both sides (2RS) must not be lubricated to avoid damage to the ball bearing. Grooved ball bearings are lubricated using long-life grease and are maintenance-free under normal application conditions. Two ball bearings are installed in the hub as standard. A spacer sleeve is used to maintain the distance between the inner race of the ball bearing. This means that the wheel can be clamped axially into a rig (exception: roller for pallet trucks). In addition to the standard version, ball bearings are also available in a corrosion-resistant version (-XK in the product code), a version lubricated with heat-resistant special grease (-HK or -HXK (corrosion resistant) in the product code) or as a heat-resistant ball bearing (oven bearing, -IK in the product code). Heat-resistant ball bearings are suitable for use in temperatures between -30 °C and +300 °C with reduced load capacity.

Subsec. (e). Pub. L. 94–329, § 204(b)(2), struck out provisions relating to the President’s notification of his consent to transfer war implements to another country, in writing, to the Speaker of the House of Representatives and the Committee on Foreign Relations of the Senate indicating his justification for the transfer and the particular war implement transferred.

Effective July 1, 1974, no defense article shall be furnished to any country on a grant basis unless such country shall have agreed that the net proceeds of sale received by such country in disposing of any weapon, weapons system, munition, aircraft, military boat, military vessel, or other implement of war received under this part will be paid to the United States Government and shall be available to pay all official costs of the United States Government payable in the currency of that country, including all costs relating to the financing of international educational and cultural exchange activities in which that country participates under the programs authorized by the Mutual Educational and Cultural Exchange Act of 1961 [22 U.S.C. 2451 et seq.]. In the case of items which were delivered prior to 1985, the President may waive the requirement that such net proceeds be paid to the United States Government if he determines that to do so is in the national interest of the United States.

1977—Subsec. (g)(4)(A). Pub. L. 95–105 substituted “Assistant Secretary of State” for “Coordinator” in provisions preceding cl. (i).

The roller bearing is a robust, resilient and largely maintenance-free wheel bearing that can be installed in a small space. Roller bearings (also called roller basket or needle bearings) have a small radial bearing clearance and are mainly used for transport equipment casters. The roller bearing consists of steel rollers in a synthetic or steel cage. These rollers roll between the axle and the wheel hub. The rotation around the axle causes rolling friction rather than dynamic friction. This keeps the rolling resistance of the wheel relatively low, even under heavy loads. Roller bearings are lubricated with a long-life grease and maintenance-free under normal application conditions. Stainless steel versions of roller bearings are also available (-XR in the product code).

A central ball bearing provides extremely precise and smooth operation, and a good seal. These bearings are primarily used for synthetic wheels supporting small loads and for guide rollers. The ball bearing is encapsulated with the wheel center. The central ball bearing is provided with two sealing caps (slipping sealing, so-called 2RS bearings) as standard. Ball bearings are lubricated with long-life grease and are maintenance-free under normal application conditions. The additional synthetic ball bearing cover provides protection for both the wheel hub and the thread. When the wheel is fitted in swivel and rigid rigs, no flanged bushes are required, unlike for conventional wheel bearings with ball bearings that are pressed in.

1976—Subsec. (a). Pub. L. 94–329, § 203(b), inserted “or related training or other defense service” after “articles” wherever appearing.

The plain bore is a simple, cost-effective and resilient wheel bearing. It is also corrosion-resistant and maintenance-free under normal conditions. Plain bores are mainly used for light duty and transport equipment casters, which are only moved infrequently and at slow speeds. Nylon plain bore sockets are used for wheels with tubular steel hubs. Plain bores may run hot at high speeds and under high loads. Cast iron wheels with plain bores must be lubricated on a regular basis.

Subsec. (d). Pub. L. 94–329, § 304(a), provided that either the President, by so stating in a writing to Congress, or Congress, by joint resolution, terminate assistance upon determining a violation, specified conditions for reinstatement of assistance, and denied the President the power, where a violation has been determined, of granting assistance on the basis of national security.

Additional sealing can be provided for ball bearings used in highly-corrosive wet areas. Combining sealing caps (slipping sealing, so-called 2RS bearing), clearance sealing and an additional slipping sealing provides ball bearings with optimal protection against water spray and dirt. Wheels with an additional ball bearing seal are suitable for machine washing. The slipping seal increases the rolling resistance slightly. Ball bearings are lubricated with long-life grease and are maintenance-free under normal application conditions. The additional synthetic ball bearing cover provides protection for both the wheel hub and the thread. When the wheel is fitted in swivel and rigid rigs, no flanged bushes are required, unlike for conventional wheel bearings with ball bearings that are pressed in. Versions with the ball bearing cover (-HKA, -XKA or -XKF in the product code) do not have the additional rubber sealing ring provided in the version with a ball bearing seal. The -XKA version is also suitable for machine washing due to the corrosion-resistant ball bearing.

In considering a request for approval of any transfer of any weapon, weapons system, munitions, aircraft, military boat, military vessel, or other implement of war to another country, the President shall not give his consent under subsection (a)(1) or (a)(4) to the transfer unless the United States itself would transfer the defense article under consideration to that country. In addition, the President shall not give his consent under subsection (a)(1) or (a)(4) to the transfer of any significant defense articles on the United States Munitions List unless the foreign country requesting consent to transfer agrees to demilitarize such defense articles prior to transfer, or the proposed recipient foreign country provides a commitment in writing to the United States Government that it will not transfer such defense articles, if not demilitarized, to any other foreign country or person without first obtaining the consent of the President.

Amendment by Pub. L. 103–236 applicable with respect to officials, offices, and bureaus of Department of State when executive orders, regulations, or departmental directives implementing the amendments by sections 161 and 162 of Pub. L. 103–236 become effective, or 90 days after Apr. 30, 1994, whichever comes earlier, see section 161(b) of Pub. L. 103–236, as amended, set out as a note under section 2651a of this title.

1994—Subsec. (g)(4)(A). Pub. L. 103–437 substituted “Foreign Affairs” for “International Relations” in introductory provisions.

This chapter, referred to in subsec. (d)(1), was in the original “this Act”, meaning Pub. L. 87–195, Sept. 4, 1961, 75 Stat. 424, known as the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961. For complete classification of this Act to the Code, see Short Title note set out under section 2151 of this title and Tables.

Spherical roller bearings have two rows of rollers to increase the contact surface of the rolling elements and achieve extremely high load capacities while keeping dimensions relatively small. Spherical roller bearings allow for angular adjustment and are therefore resistant to the axle being bent. The extremely high load capacity provides outstanding operational performance. Spherical roller bearings are therefore used in heavy duty wheels, with a focus on plant engineering (three shift operation). Two spherical roller bearings are installed in the hub as standard. A spacer sleeve is used to maintain the distance between the inner races of the spherical roller bearing. This means that the wheel can be clamped into a rig. Spherical roller bearings are not normally sealed. A special seal is available for spherical roller bearings upon request

The President shall regularly reduce and, with such deliberate speed as orderly procedure and other relevant considerations, including prior commitments, will permit, shall terminate all further grants of military equipment and supplies to any country having sufficient wealth to enable it, in the judgment of the President, to maintain and equip its own military forces at adequate strength, without undue burden to its economy.

Additional sealing can be provided for ball bearings used in highly-corrosive wet areas. Combining sealing caps (slipping sealing, so-called 2RS bearing), clearance sealing and an additional slipping sealing provides ball bearings with optimal protection against water spray and dirt. Wheels with an additional ball bearing seal are suitable for machine washing. The slipping seal increases the rolling resistance slightly. Ball bearings are lubricated with long-life grease and are maintenance-free under normal application conditions. The additional synthetic ball bearing cover provides protection for both the wheel hub and the thread.

Versions with the ball bearing cover (-HKA, -XKA or -XKF in the product code) do not have the additional rubber sealing ring provided in the version with a ball bearing seal. The -XKA version is also suitable for machine washing due to the corrosion-resistant ball bearing.

Subsec. (e). Pub. L. 92–226, § 201(c), repealed provisions respecting conditions of eligibility requiring agreements for use of foreign currencies from sale of surplus commodities for common defense including internal security.
