  • Patent number: 4669911
    Abstract: A clamping ring for use e.g. as a support around a jointing sleeve during explosion welding consists substantially of two preferably equal ring halves (1,2) connected to each other over slots (3) limited by flanges (4,5) comprising surfaces (6,7) which form an angle (.alpha.). The surfaces co-operate with opposing surfaces (10,11) on an annular clamping member (9) which enclosed the flanges. Means, e.g. screws (12), are provided for bringing about a wedging action by displacing of the clamping member in relation to the clamping ring, thereby varying the bore circumference of the clamping ring. The force uniting the clamping ring halves is completely taken up by the clamping member (9) and does not stress the screws (12).

  • Patent number: 4645047
    Abstract: In a freewheel mechanism with a number of blocking members arranged between raceways on two elements, one raceway is arranged on a body which is co-operating with one of the elements and is turnable thereon. The circumference of the body is variable for varying the distance between the raceways. The variations can take place because the body is elastically deformable radially and by tightening and releasing a threaded portion between the body and the element, the thread flanks thereby acting as wedges. The purpose of the arrangement is to avoid jamming of the freewheel by the blocking members upon reversal of the direction of rotation when the blocking members are in blocking position. The unwanted torque developed during jamming of the freewheel releases the tightened thread joint between the body and the element, whereby the circumference of the body and the distance between the raceways of the freewheel is increased so that the blocking members are released.

  • Patent number: 4645395
    Abstract: The invention concerns a nut provided with a locking element (4, 5, 6, 7), which by e.g. a screw (8, 9, 10, 11) can be urged radially against a screw thread. In order to provide a self-contained and easily releasable nut the locking element is arranged in a recess which, together with the element, is so arranged that at least a part (12, 13, 14, 15) of the element is deformed elastically when the element is moved against the screw thread. Thereby the element springs out of contact with the thread when the screw (8, 9, 10, 11) is released.

  • Patent number: 4598443
    Abstract: A device for providing a clamping joint comprises two elements (1,2) with complementary threads, each having a flange constituting a clamping surface. Clamping takes place upon relative axial displacement of the elements (1,2) which can be brought about by screws (4) arranged axially in bores in a flange (5) on one element. In order to prevent accidental disengagement of the elements, at least one of the threads adjoins at one end to a part (6) which is wedged against an opposing thread flank when the elements (1,2) are rotated in relation to each other over a predetermined end position.

  • Patent number: 4596477
    Abstract: A device for fastening e.g. a bearing ring on a shaft comprises a clamping sleeve and a clamping member co-operating with the sleeve. The clamping member and the sleeve contact each other over wedge-shaped surfaces. The sleeve surfaces intended for contacting the bearing ring and the clamping member have such shape that the clamping force acts essentially on that part of the sleeve which co-operates with the clamping member, and no appreciable axial displacement takes place between the sleeve and the bearing ring. Thereby the bearing ring keeps its shape and position during mounting.

  • Patent number: 4569602
    Abstract: In a device with a double-row angular contact bearing the outer raceways are arranged in elements (4,5) which are axially displaceable in relation to each other. Prestressing or play of the bearing is determined by an elastic ring (7) situated in a space delimited by opposing surfaces connected to the respective elements, whereby the axial bearing play decreases when the distance between the opposing surfaces increases.

  • Patent number: 4566811
    Abstract: A device for sealing a spherical rolling bearing comprises two annular sealing bodies (4, 5) arranged on the respective bearing rings and divided by a gap (6) with spherical opposing surfaces. A further sealing washer (9) is provided in recesses (7, 8) in the sealing bodies (4, 5) and delimits a space (10) in connection to the gap (6). The washer (9) is fixed in one sealing member (4) and is provided with a sealing lip (11) contacting a spherical surface of the other sealing body (5). The device gives a good sealing effect also when the rings of the bearing are skewed in relation to each other.

  • Patent number: 4565464
    Abstract: An element intended for connection to a shaft arranged in a bore in the element comprises two elastically deformable portions created by providing slots perpendicular and parallel to the axis of the bore, respectively. The portions each comprise a part of the wall of the bore and are arranged symmetrically with respect to the bore. Screws are used for deforming the portions so that a shaft situated in the bore is clamped to the element.
