Abstract:
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.
Abstract:

Each opening in the plurality of openings: passes through material forming the cage and wholly surrounded by the material forming the cage; and is located between a respective pair of protrusions in a first circumferential direction.
Abstract:
A roller bearing comprises an outer ring, an inner ring, a plurality of rollers arranged between the outer ring and the inner ring, and a plurality of retainer segments having a plurality of column parts extending in a direction along a shaft so as to form a pocket for holding the roller, and connection parts and extending in a circumferential direction to connect the plurality of column parts, and continuously lined with each other in the circumferential direction between the outer ring and the inner ring. The column part is positioned at an circumferential end of the retainer segment. Here, a circumferential outer side end face of the column part positioned at the end is flat, and a circumferential inner side end face of the column part positioned at said end is provided with a recess recessed in the circumferential direction to reduce the thickness of the column part.
Abstract:
A chain guide is provided which reduces moving resistance of a camshaft-driving, torque-transmitting timing chain. The chain guide includes a guide base provided on one side of the timing chain to face the timing chain and having an opposed pair of side plates. The side plates support respective ends of roller shafts each rotatably supporting a chain-guiding needle roller bearing. Each needle roller bearing includes a retainer guided by needle roller elements.
Abstract:
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.
Abstract:
an axial cage (1) for cylindrical rolling bodies which substantially is formed of a thin-walled washer (2) with a W-shaped profile, the individual profile legs of which are formed by an inner radial rim (3) formed on the inner edge of the washer (2), an outer radial rim (4) formed on the outer edge of the washer (2) and a U-shaped center crimp (7) connected by way of inner and outer axial profile sections (5, 6) to the radial rims (3, 4) and having the same radial extent as the rims (3, 4). A number of evenly spaced rectangular cage pockets (8) are cut from the central crimp (7) and the adjacent axial profile sections (5, 6), between which pockets an equal number of pocket webs (9) are formed connecting the rims (3, 4) with one another, by which webs the cylindrical rolling bodies (10) are retained in the cage pockets (8) at uniform distances from one another and are also guided in the circumferential direction. According to the invention, this axial cage (1) is characterized in that the outer radial rim (4) is formed with an inclination (α) facing away from the central U-shaped crimp (7) and the cage pockets (8) have an axial length greater than the smallest axial distance between the inner sides (11, 12) of the inner and the outer radial rim (3, 4) such that the cage pockets (8) extend at least into the outer radial rim (4) of the axial cage (1) and, because of a crowned formation of the outer face sides (13) towards the center of the pocket on the outer radial rim (4) of the axial cage (1) at the height of the roll axes of the rolling bodies (10), form a rounded thrust lug (14) for the outer end faces (15) of the rolling body (10).
Abstract:
Construction of a retainer for a radial needle bearing is achieved that is able to prevent needles 4 from coming out of pockets 5a even before assembling the radial needle bearing, and is able to sufficiently lessen stress concentration due to force being applied to column sections 3a caused by variation in the speed of revolution of the needles 4. The center sections in the axial direction of the columns 3a are located further on the inner-diameter side than the diameter of the pitch circle of the needles 4, and both end sections in the axial direction of the column sections 3a are located further on the outer-diameter side than the diameter of the pitch circle of the needles 4. Thick sections 13 are formed in portions on both end sections in the axial direction of the column sections 3a that are continuous with the pair of rim sections 2a.
Abstract:
A bearing cage for a rolling-element bearing includes a plurality of bearing cage segments configured to receive rolling elements in rolling-element pockets. Also included is at least one assembly wire, and each of the cage segments includes a coupling arrangement configured to thread the bearing cage segment onto the at least one assembly wire such that at least one rolling-element pocket is formed by two of the plurality of bearing cage segments adjacent in the circumferential direction that are threaded on the assembly wire. The bearing cage also includes an assembly device configured to convey an end of the assembly wire from an installation position to an axially far-side coupling arrangement of a bearing cage segment, through the axially far-side coupling arrangement of all bearing cage segments located on a bearing inner ring, and back again towards the installation position.
Abstract:
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.
