Rotary Bearing and Gearbox
A rotary bearing (50), especially for harmonic gearing, comprising an outer bearing ring (1b) and an inner bearing ring (1a) arranged therein; whereby the inner bearing ring (1a) and the outer bearing ring (1b) are each provided with at least one receptacle (10, 11) through which, when the two receptacles (10, 11) are in a corresponding position with respect to one another, rolling elements (8) can be inserted through a receptacle opening (22) formed by the two receptacles (10, 11) into an anti-friction bearing between the bearing surface (7) of the inner bearing ring (1a) and the bearing surface (9) of the outer bearing ring (1b), wherein a guide ring (20) for the rolling elements (8) is arranged in at least one of the two receptacles (10, 11) between the receptacle opening (22) and the rolling elements (8).
Motor assembly and manufacturing method thereof
A motor assembly includes a first bearing installed on a rotating shaft adjacent to an impeller to support a first support part of the rotating shaft, a second bearing installed on the rotating shaft adjacent to the rotor to support a second support part of the rotating shaft, a bearing bracket receiving the first and second bearings therein, an elastic member inserted between the first bearing and the bearing bracket or between the second bearing and the bearing bracket to press either the first bearing or the second bearing to get closer to each other, and a separation preventing member installed on the bearing bracket to fix the first bearing, the second bearing and the elastic member to an inner space of the bearing bracket such that at least one portion of the separation preventing member overlaps with one of the first bearing, the second bearing and the elastic member.
Labyrinth seal with interlocking rotor and seal case insert
A labyrinth seal includes a seal case with an inner-diameter leg encircling a rotation axis, and an insert fixed in the seal case and encircling the rotation axis. The labyrinth seal also includes a slinger encircling the rotation axis and wrapping around the inner-diameter leg to cooperate with the seal case to form a first part of a labyrinth path. The slinger rotates relative to the seal case. The labyrinth seal also includes a rotor that encircles the rotation axis, cooperates with the insert to form a second part of the labyrinth path, and interlocks with the insert to limit axial movement of the rotor when the rotor rotates relative to the insert. The labyrinth seal may be combined with a bearing cone, a bearing cup, and a plurality of rollers to form a roller bearing assembly.
Bearing unit manufacturing device and bearing unit manufacturing method
A manufacturing device manufactures a bearing unit including an inner ring member outwardly fitted onto an end portion of a shaft main body of an inner shaft on one side in an axial direction and fixed by a swaged portion extending from the end portion. The manufacturing device includes: a rotating mechanism including a rotor which holds the other side of the inner shaft in the axial direction from below and rotates the inner shaft about a center axis of the inner shaft while the center axis is aligned with an up-down direction, the rotor being mounted below a processing area of the bearing unit; and a swaging mechanism mounted above the processing area and including a punch which is brought into contact with the swaged portion to plastically deform the swaged portion.
SEAL FOR TAPER ROLLER BEARING AND TAPER ROLLER BEARING ASSEMBLY
The invention provides a seal for a taper roller bearing. The seal includes: a frame having: an outer flange, extending radially outward, an inner flange, extending radially inward, an middle flange, located between the outer flange and the inner flange and extending in an axial direction. The outer flange, the inner flange and the middle flange are integrally formed; a sealing ring, at least connects and covers the radial outer side of the outer flange of the frame, and has at least one sealing lip extending outward in the radial direction. The invention also provides an assembly for a taper roller bear, which provides a taper roller bearing. An inn ring of that taper roller bearing has a shoulder with a large flange; and a seal as described above. The middle flange is in interference fit with the outer circumferential surface of the shoulder, and the inner flange presses against and covers at least a part of the large flange.
Assembly procedure of a bearing unit—hub flange
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.
ROLLING BEARING, ROTATING DEVICE, AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING ROLLING BEARING
Provided is a rolling bearing that can both ensure durability and reduce rotational resistance. The rolling bearing includes a seal member that is mounted on an outer ring and that covers a space between an inner ring and the outer ring from an outer side in an axial direction, and grease disposed between a rolling element and the seal member. The seal member includes an annular pedestal portion in contact with the outer ring from an outer side in the axial direction, an extending portion that extends outward in the axial direction from an inner peripheral edge of the pedestal portion, and a flat surface portion that extends along a radial direction from an end edge of the extending portion on an outer side in the axial direction toward the inner ring. The grease includes an outer ring contact portion in contact with an inner peripheral surface of the outer ring, and a seal member contact portion in contact with the flat surface portion on an outer side in the axial direction and an inner ring side with respect to the outer ring contact portion. An area of the seal member contact portion is larger than a contact area between the grease and the extending portion as well as the pedestal portion of the seal member.
Rolling bearing
A rolling bearing includes an outer bearing race and an inner bearing race defining a bearing space therebetween. Rolling elements are mounted in the bearing space. A seal device is at one axial opening of the bearing space and includes a metal ring member with through holes configured such that lubricating oil can pass through the through holes and solid foreign substances cannot pass through the through holes. One of the outer bearing race and the inner bearing race is stationary, and the other is rotatable. The metal ring member is in engagement with the stationary bearing race. A metal or resin sub-ring member, which is a separate member from the metal ring member, is fixed to the rotatable bearing race. Between the metal ring member and the metal or resin sub-ring member, a gap is defined which constitutes a labyrinth seal structure.
FOLLOWER BEARING
A follower bearing 1 includes: an inner member 10 including a first body 50 and a flange 52; an outer ring 20; a plurality of rolling elements 40; and a first sealing member 30A including an annular first portion disposed between an outer peripheral surface 52A of the flange 52 and a first surface 22A and at least partially forming a sealing structure between the first portion and the outer ring 20. The first portion has an outer diameter that gradually increases toward a first end surface 52B at an end opposite to a first rolling surface 51A of the flange 52 in an axial direction.
GREASE SEALING METHOD AND SEALING DEVICE FOR BALL BEARING AND BALL BEARING PRODUCED USING SAID SEALING METHOD
A retainer is rotationally driven about a axis of a ball bearing, and convex areas having pockets provided therein along a ball pitch circle of the retainer and concave areas between adjacent pockets is detected by a sensor. Grease is discharged according to phases of the convex areas and concave areas in the rotationally driven retainer from a dispenser having grease discharge ports arranged to face an annular space.
