Abstract:
Driving rollers 2, 3 which rotate in the same direction are arranged in parallel to each other. A plurality of convex portions 5a, 5b, 5c having different radii of curvature Rr1, Rr2 and Rr3 are formed along the axial direction at opposing positions on the driving rollers 2, 3. A rolling element 4 which is fed into the gap between the driving rollers 2, 3 and rotated is moved along tracks having different radii of curvature Rw1, Rw2 and Rw3 in the axial direction. There is provided a superfinishing grindstone 6 which is pressed on the rolling surface of the rolling element 4 moving on tracks having different radii of curvature to superfinish the rolling surface of the rolling element 4.
Abstract:
An ultrasonic vibration plate 33 is disposed in a washing tank 23 filled with a washing fluid 31, and ultrasonic waves generated by the ultrasonic vibration plate 33 are applied to ring-shaped parts 27 disposed in the washing tank 23 to thereby remove foreign substances stick to the ring-shaped parts 27 therefrom. The ring-shaped parts 27 are disposed inclinedly with respect to the ultrasonic vibration plate 33 in such a manner that the axes 27a of the ring-shaped parts 27 intersect with the plate surface 33a of the ultrasonic vibration plate 33 at an angle null other than a right angle.
Abstract:
The present ball/roller bearing cleaning method is a method which, using cleaning liquid 24, cleans a bearing to be cleaned 1 composed of an inner ring 1b, an outer ring 1a, a rolling bodies 1c and a retainer. In the cleaning method, the cleaning liquid 24 is made to flow through the bearing to be cleaned 1 from the axial direction of the present bearing 1 into spaces in which the raceway surfaces of the inner and outer rings 1b and 1a of the bearing to be cleaned 1 surround the rolling bodies 1c and retainer. For example, a cylindrical-shaped rotary die 2 having spiral grooves 2a is interposed into a cleaning liquid supply passage, and the cleaning liquid 4 is supplied to thereby rotate the cylindrical-shaped rotary die 2, whereby the cleaning liquid having high pressure can be supplied to the bearing to be cleaned 1 from the cylindrical-shaped rotary die 2.
