Abstract:
A pin assembly for use in a planetary gear, including a pin defining a blind bore therein, the blind bore extending axially from an opening and terminating with an end face, the pin defining an inlet bore and an outlet bore, and a plug including a substantially cylindrical body including a circular base wall and a sidewall extending from its outer perimeter, the sidewall defining an inlet recess and an outlet recess. The inlet recess and outlet recess of the plug are aligned with the inlet bore and outlet bore, respectively, of the pin when the plug is inserted in the pin.
Abstract:
A roller bearing assembly, comprising a sleeve (20) having a first end face, a second end face, and a cylindrical body extending therebetween, an outer surface (22) of the body defining a raceway, a washer (30) having an inner perimeter (34), an outer perimeter, a first planar surface and a second planar surface extending therebetween, the first planar surface and the second planar surface being substantially parallel and the first planar surface abutting the first end face (24) of the sleeve (20), and a plurality of rollers (44) disposed adjacent the raceway of the sleeve. A diameter of the inner perimeter (34) of the washer (30) is less than a diameter of the outer surface (22) of the sleeve (20), and the washer (30) is non-rotatably fixed to the sleeve (20).
Abstract:
A linear bearing (12) including an outer cup (20) having an inner cylindrical surface defining an outer raceway (18), a shaft (11) having an outer cylindrical surface defining an inner raceway (14), a cage (16) defining a plurality of pockets and an annular groove (17) in its outer surface, a plurality of balls (34), each ball disposed in a corresponding pocket, and an O-ring (10) disposed in the annular groove of the cage such that the O-ring contacts the inner cylindrical surface of the cup.
Abstract:
A pin assembly for use in a planetary gear, including a pin defining a blind bore therein, the blind bore extending axially from an opening and terminating with an end face, and an annular rib depending inwardly from an inner surface of the blind bore adjacent the opening. A plug includes a stopper portion and a shaft extending therefrom, the stopper portion including a circular base defining an outer perimeter. The outer perimeter of the stopper portion engages the annular rib, thereby maintaining the plug in the blind bore.
