  • Publication number: 20150023625
    Abstract: Present invention relates to provide a cage suited in particular to a supersized roller bearing, which is easy to improve rigidity, realizes a reduction in manufacturing costs, facilitates dimension management and accuracy management, and is less prone to progress abrasion of end surfaces of rollers. A roller bearing cage (1A) is configured such that a pair of ring parts (4, 6) axially separated from each other is connected by column parts (5) sliding on outer peripheral surfaces of rollers (RA), and pocket holes (P) are evenly formed to store and hold the rollers (RA) in a peripheral wall portion in a circumferential direction. The cage (1A) is manufactured such that a base body (2) including the ring part (4) and the column parts (5) with square columnar convexes (5A) and a connection body (3) including the ring part (6) with square holes (6A) are set as separate members.

  • Publication number: 20130308886
    Abstract: A fixing arrangement for a rubber seal for sealing a rolling bearing is proposed which can be easily mounted in position by press-fitting and which prevents rotation of the rubber seal together with the rotary member of the bearing. A thick-walled fitting portion 3 and a protrusion 4 are formed on the radially outer portion of a rubber seal 1 reinforced by a metal core 2. The fitting portion 3 is press-fitted in a seal groove 22 formed in the radially inner surface of an outer race 21 at each end. The protrusion 4 is brought into elastic contact with a large-diameter cylindrical surface 23 formed on the outer race 21. Thus, the rubber seal 1 is fixed in position and prevented from rotating together with the inner race of the bearing.

  • Patent number: 8037601
    Abstract: The present invention provides a rocker arm manufacturing method capable of stably forming valve stem guide walls. In the method according to the present invention, an intermediate product 13 having both side walls 20 extended in a predetermined direction and arranged in parallel with each other and a one end side connection wall 30 connecting lower ends of both the side walls 20 at a longitudinal one end of the product is obtained. Next, a first pressing punch 70 is pressed against the outer surface portions of both the side walls 20 from the outside thereof to cause downward plastic flows of regions of the outer surface portions of both the side walls positioned below the cutout portions 31 to thereby form raising walls 32 in a downwardly protruded manner at both sides of the one end side connection wall 30. Thereafter, valve stem guide walls 35 are formed by pressing second pressing punches 80 against both the raising walls 32 of the one end side connection wall 30.
