A method is disclosed of manufacturing a pulley with integral bearing comprising a sheet metal pulley mounted on the outer race of a bearing. The pulley is a close sliding fit on the outer race. The interstice between the pulley and the race is at least partly filled with a low-melting-point filler metal which, when heated, melts and diffuses by capillary action into the interstice between the pulley and the race, at least partly filling the interstice and fastens the pulley to the race when it solidifies. The filler metal is advantageously a brazing alloy having a melting point much lower than that of the parts to be joined together. Applications of the method include the manufacture of belt tensioning pulleys with integral bearings, as used on automobile vehicle engines, for example.

In a spring biased tension arrangement for transmission belts, a friction element is installed coaxial with respect to the pivot bearing. The friction element provides a turning direction dependent damping of the pivot arm. It may be disc or sleeve shaped and is inserted in an annular space to contact a limit surface with rubbing contact. Tongues or spoke elements, inclined to the turning direction, have inclinations dependent more or less elastically upon the turning direction and act for example to change the overall height or thickness of the friction element and therewith an increase of the friction force. The tongues or spoke elements can be connected with a separate spring or formed as a unit with the friction element.

In a worm gear comprised of a nut and a threaded spindle, the groove bottoms of the threads are provided with a central support projection, and a radially deeper region is provided adjacent the projection on both sides thereof. When radial forces act in the same direction at both ends of the worm gear, the projection serves as a radial support projection with sufficient axial play. By providing convexly curved thread flank surfaces, for example on the nut, the threads run under the same conditions also when the axes of the nut and spindle are inclinded to one another as a result of the application thereto of inclined forces. As a consequence, axial play is reduced. Clamping of the threads is avoided in this case, however, since the support projection hinders a wedging action between the threads of the worm gear.

The combination comprising a machine element, a tubular member and a ring fastener for mounting the machine element in the circular bore of the tubular member, the ring fastener being in the form of a split annular ring member having confronting end faces, the ring member being of a diameter slightly greater than the diameter of a bore in the tubular member, each end face having a first axial portion extending generally parallel to the axis of the ring member and a second inclined portion extending at a predetermined angle to the axis of the ring member. The first and second portions of the end faces normally align and confront in the relaxed condition of the ring member and are displaceable axially relative to one another for insertion in the bore of the tubular member and after seating in the bore displaceable in an opposite axial direction by application of an axial force adjacent the axial end faces. The end faces coact and move from a partially overlapped position wherein the edge of the first surface of one end face confronts and engages the second surface of the other end face to a circumferentially aligned position resulting in the circumferential expansion of the ring such that a radially directed friction self-locking effect between the ring and the bore is achieved.

A method for making hardened essentially disk-shaped machine parts particularly rotor disks for axial roller bearings consisting of the steps of forming the disk to the desired shape in the soft state, densifying at least one annular ring-shaped section of the disk by rolling or pressing and thereafter hardening the entire disk.

The rolling bearing of a guide roller is held in the bore of a thin wall roller adapted to guide a pulley, by projections radially inwardly extending from the thin wall roller. The projections may be in the form of beads having planar surfaces in a plane normal to the axis of the bearing on the side facing the bearing, or they may be notches having one side thereof separating from the material of the roller to be forced radially inwardly to engage the sides of the bearing. The notches may be resilient, to enable the bearing to be snapped into position.

A roller, especially a tension roller for a belt drive has a hollow hub supporting a rolling bearing, with a pulley or rotating body supported on the outer ring of the bearing. The hollow hub has at least one closed end, with a mounting hole therethrough to enable mounting to a machine frame. The closed end or bottom of the hub is setback from the adjoining facing end of the hub, by an axially projecting annular rim. The hub may be formed of one part, or of two parts, each having a setback closed bottom.

A bearing arrangement for a driven wheel of a vehicle, comprised of a rolling bearing whose outer ring is provided with a flange for affixing the assembly to a vehicle frame or the like. A wheel hub is provided with a flange for supporting a wheel. A drive joint is provided for driving the hub wheel, and a pin or the like is provided for holding the parts together. The axially engaging end surfaces of the wheel hub and drive joint are provided with engaging teeth for the transmission of torques. In order to interconnect the parts precisely to one another for centering and to ensure their reliable interconnection, the inner ring of the rolling bearing is mounted on the outer surface of the wheel hub and/or the drive joint, and end surfaces of the inner ring abut first shoulder surfaces of the wheel hub and the drive joint. The wheel hub and the drive joint directly abut one another at the end surfaces with are provided with substantially axially extending and intermeshing projections. The pin extends through the wheel hub and drive joint and engages second shoulder surfaces of both parts with radial projections.

A self aligning bearing structure, especially adapted for electric motors, has an outer ring with a plastic jacket thereon. A housing for supporting a bearing has a cylindrical seat for receiving the outer ring. The plastic jacket has one annular central ridge of greater diameter, in the unassembled condition, than the seat, so that the annular ridge is compressed to substantially the compression limit when the outer ring is assembled in the seat. The plastic jacket may have a conical end to simplify assembly.

A method for making complementary pairs of race rings for rolling bearing assemblies from a unitary metallic base component formed with the raceways for the rings consisting of the steps of:a. forming at least one annular separation seam in the metallic base component defining a bridge which can be severed to form the paired bearing race rings;b. hardening the metallic base component;c. machining the raceways of the rings simultaneously or successively;d. plastic coating the base component to form housing sections adjacent the bearing and side surfaces of the race rings exposing the raceways and separation seam; ande. separating the base component at the bridge to form the finished race rings.A bearing assembly comprising inner and outer ring members formed of a single base component separable at a juncture to define a complementary pair of inner and outer race rings, a plastic housing section for each race ring, at least one of said housing sections including a radially directed flange member retaining the race ring and the rolling elements in an assembled condition.
