Abstract:
A bearing device includes a shaft and a roller bearing externally inserted over the shaft. The roller bearing includes an inner ring disposed coaxially with a center axis of the shaft, an outer ring surrounding the inner ring from an outer side in a radial direction, and a plurality of rolling elements held between the inner ring and the outer ring to be capable of rolling. The inner ring is divided into one half section and the other half section. The one half section contacts the rolling elements from the one side toward the other side in the axial direction, and the other half section contacts the rolling elements from the other side toward the one side in the axial direction. Preloads are applied to the two half sections in directions in which the one half section and the other half section are brought close to each other.
Abstract:
A procedure for mounting of a hub bearing assembly having a rotatable hub, and a bearing unit having a stationary radially outer ring, and two bodies rolling crowns disposed between the radially outer ring and the hub. The assembly process involves the following steps: a) pressing-fit a first seal on the hub, b) mounting an axially external cage and the axially outside rolling bodies, in correspondence with a track of the axially outer hub, c) the radially outer ring assembly and inclination of the same outer ring of a predetermined angle with respect to the hub, d) mounting of the axially interior rolling bodies in correspondence with a track of the axially inner hub, and the radially outer ring alignment to the hub, f) snap insertion of the axially internal cage on rolling bodies and g) the pressing-fit a second seal on its seat.
Abstract:
A procedure for mounting a hub bearing assembly including a rotatable hub, and a bearing unit having a stationary radially outer ring, and two rolling bodies disposed between the radially outer ring and the hub, and executing the steps of hammering a first seal on the hub, mounting a cage on the seal seat, providing the outer ring assembly in axially offset manner relative to the hub, mounting the rolling bodies axially externally from the axially inner side, combining the hub to the outer ring, positioning the outer ring inclination at a predetermined angle, mounting the rolling bodies from the axially inner side, aligning the hub to the radially outer ring, snap insertion of the cage, on rolling bodies from the axially outer side and the cage, on rolling bodies from the axially inner side, hammering a second seal on its seat, from the axially inner side.
Abstract:
A tapered roller bearing (1) is includes an outer ring (2) having an outer ring raceway surface (2a) on the inner peripheral surface thereof, an inner ring (3) having an inner ring raceway surface (3a) on the outer peripheral surface thereof, and a plurality of tapered rollers (4) arranged in a rollable manner between the outer ring raceway surface (2a) and the inner ring raceway surface (3a). A large flange (3b) is formed on an end portion of the inner ring (3) on a large-diameter side of the inner ring, and the inner ring raceway surface (3a) continuously extends to the end face (3c) of the inner ring (3) on a small-diameter side of the inner ring. The contact angle (α) is 35° to 55°. In this manner, the tapered roller bearing having high moment rigidity and long life can be provided.
Abstract:
A rolling bearing includes an inner ring, an outer ring, a plurality of balls, and an annular cage. The cage has an annular portion provided on a first side in an axial direction with respect to the balls and a plurality of cage bars. Pockets that house the balls are each formed between the cage bars adjacent to each other in a circumferential direction. An axially-first-side side surface of the annular portion has a first surface that is inclined toward the first side in the axial direction as the first surface extends outward in a radial direction and a second surface provided outward of the first surface in the radial direction and positioned on the second side in the axial direction with respect to an extended virtual plane of the first surface.
Abstract:
A plastic rolling bearing cage, namely an angular ball bearing cage, including two cage rings, the diameters of which differ from one another, namely a smaller cage ring and a larger cage ring. A number of cage pockets for accommodating in each case a rolling body, namely a ball, are formed by the cage rings and by the cage webs connecting them. The cage rings are designed in one piece with the cage webs and contain solid lubricant. The ratio of the third power of the width (BKi, BKa) of the cage ring, which is measured in the axial direction, and the cage pocket diameter (DW) is at least 0.4 mm2.
Abstract:
There is provided a method capable of producing a wheel-supporting rolling bearing unit at low cost. In an event of producing a wheel-supporting rolling bearing unit (1), a cylindrical portion (11) formed in an axial end portion of a hub ring (2) is inserted through an inner ring (3), swing caulking is performed by pressing a die (23) against a tip end portion of the cylindrical portion (11) protruding to an axial end portion side more than the inner ring (3), and an axial end surface (3a) of the inner ring (3) is held by a caulked portion (12) formed by caulking and expanding the tip end portion of the cylindrical portion (11) radially outward. In such a way, the inner ring (3) and the hub ring (2) are fixed integrally witch each other. At this time, a swing angle of the swing caulking is set at 15 degrees or more to 30 degrees or less.
Abstract:
A rolling bearing assembly including a wire cage is provided. The assembly includes a radially inner ring including a first filling slot and a radially outer ring including a second filling slot. The first and second filling slots and a radial distance defined between radially inner ring and the radially outer ring are dimensioned to receive the spherical rolling elements. The wire cage includes first and second wires that extend around opposite axial sides of each of the spherical rolling elements in an alternating manner. The first and second wires overlap each other in areas between adjacent ones of the spherical rolling elements, and crimping elements affix the first and second wires together in each of the areas between the adjacent rolling elements.
