摘要:
A thrust roller bearing cage (11) of the present invention is included in a thrust roller bearing (20) and includes a plurality of pockets (21) accommodating rollers (13). The thrust roller bearing cage (11) includes: a radially outer area bent portion (41) formed by bending the cage (11) inward in a radial direction along an annular groove formed at a position radially outside the pockets (21); and projecting portions (44) that are formed in a tip end of the radially outer area bent portion (41) at positions aligned with the pockets (21) and project inward in the radial direction beyond radially outer edges of the pockets (21) so as to contact end faces (16) of the rollers (13) accommodated in the pockets (21). A trace (29) of the groove is left at a position along which the cage is bent.

A thrust roller bearing cage (11) is a cage (11) provided to a thrust roller bearing and having a plurality of pockets (21) that house needle rollers (13). The cage (11) includes projections (44) that are formed by bending a radially outer area of the cage (11) inwardly along the radius and that project inwardly along the radius toward a radially outer area of the pockets (21) to make contact with end faces (16) of the rollers (13). The projections (44) have corners (45) that make contact with the end faces (16) of the rollers (13). The corners (45) are press-flattened.

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.

A cage for rolling elements of a radial roller bearing is provided having first and second axial flanges spaced from each other by cage bars that extend therebetween that form a plurality of roller pockets. Retention scallops that extend axially inwardly are defined in each of the first and second axial flanges, generally centered about the cage bars, and the cage bars are located radially inwardly of a pitch circle of the rolling elements. The retention scallops extend axially inwardly at a position radially outward from the pitch circle to a position where portions of each of the retention scallops axially overlap end portions of adjacent rolling elements. A method of forming the cage and cage-roller assembly are also provided.

An outer ring 6a for a shell-type radial needle bearing having a cylindrical shape with a bottom is achieved for which fatigue life of the bottom plate section 9a and the continuous section between the bottom plate section 9a and the cylindrical section 8a is improved, as well as the anti-corrosion characteristic of the outer ring 6a is improved and the outer ring 6a can be prevented from coming out of the bearing without an increase in cost. After obtaining an intermediate raw material 35 having a cylindrical section and a bottom plate section from a metal raw material, shot peening is performed on the intermediate material 35 to create residual compressive stress in the surface and surface layer section on the outer surface side of the cylindrical section 8a and the bottom plate section 9a such that the residual compressive stress in the surface layer section on the outer surface side is greater than the in the surface layer section on the inner surface side, and from the surface to a depth of 0.03 mm is 700 MPa to 1600 MPa.

A bearing cage for a rolling element bearing includes a plurality of individual bearing cage segments configured to respectively accommodate rolling elements in rolling element pockets formed by the bearing cage segments. Each bearing cage segment includes a first coupling device disposed on a first axial end thereof. A first lamellar support ring defines first and second ring halves that are connected to each other, are axially adjacent to each other are biased towards each other. The first ring half extends through the respective first coupling devices of the plurality of bearing cage segments and the second ring half is disposed on an axially-inner side or an axially-outer side of the first coupling devices such that the first coupling devices are clamped between the first and second ring halves.
摘要:
A radial cage in which roll forming is carried out in such a manner that straight side sections of all axial crossbars continue to have at least approximately a material thickness of a starting material for the radial cage, while side rings of the radial cage and axial center sections of the axial crossbars are implemented by rolling down during roll forming to each have material thicknesses that are smaller than the material thickness of the straight side sections and that reduce their centrifugal mass.
摘要:
The invention concerns a rolling bearing with a rolling bearing cage (1) having a plurality of rolling element pockets (2) arranged in at least one row to receive at least one row of rolling elements, wherein the rolling bearing cage (1) consists of two lateral rings (3) and a plurality of crosspieces (4) connecting them, between which crosspieces are formed the rolling element pockets (2), and having at least one empty pocket (5). In order to achieve cost-effective manufacture of the rolling bearing cage (1) with the fewest possible changes as compared to a rolling bearing cage fully populated with rolling elements, provision is made according to the invention that the rolling bearing cage (1) is equipped with fewer rolling elements in one row than corresponds to the number of rolling element pockets (2), causing the rolling bearing cage (1) to have empty pockets (5) without rolling elements in the at least one row of rolling element pockets (2). The empty pockets (5) can be implemented in a simple manner by omitting one or more rolling elements, so that storage spaces for lubricant are created. Furthermore, the empty pockets (5) can be formed by targeted shaping in such a manner that a conveying or pumping action is produced in at least one direction of rotation. The invention also concerns a method for producing such a rolling bearing cage.
