Abstract: A cylindrical roller bearing includes an outer bearing ring, an inner bearing ring and cylindrical rollers located between the outer and inner bearing rings. One of the rings has side rims forming an axial stop for the cylindrical rollers. The bearing ring on which the side rims are not provided is formed with at least one groove outside the axial extension of the cylindrical rollers. A ring of spring-elastic material is positioned in the groove to form an axial stop for the cylindrical rollers. The periphery of the ring has no interruptions. To improve the running behavior of the cylindrical roller bearing, the ring possesses a V-shaped cross-section with two legs.

Abstract: An antifriction bearing includes a plurality of rolling elements each having a lateral surface possessing a conical shape, with the rolling elements being positioned between a conical raceway and a cylindrical raceway to roll along the conical raceway and the cylindrical raceway. The lateral surface of each rolling element forms an angle with a center axis of the rolling element that is 3° at maximum, and the lateral surface of each rolling element has a convex curvature that is superimposed on the conical shape. The bearing can also include a first bearing ring having a running surface constituting one of the conical and cylindrical raceways. An antifriction bearing arrangement incorporating such an antifriction bearing is also provided with a stop element having a stop face contacting the end face of each of the rolling elements.

Abstract: A process for producing a sheet metal cage for roller bearings involves using a press roll to form a disk-shaped circular sheet metal blank into a tubular element having radially inwardly projecting and axially extending ribs, and stamping window-shaped pockets into the tubular element between adjoining ribs to produce a cage of a rolling bearing for receiving rolls in the window-shaped cutouts. The sheet metal cage produced by the method possesses a conically rolled outer surface and side rings arranged at opposite ends. The cage includes ridges extending between the side rings and window-shaped pockets between adjacent pairs of ridges for receiving tapered rolls. The cage also includes ribs extending inwardly from each of the ridges, with the ribs possessing tapering side surfaces.

Abstract: A solid cage for roller bearings, where the pitch circle of the rollers is between the radial center of the cage and its bore, with guide surfaces on the webs which conform to the lateral surface of the rollers, thus forming retaining edges in the area of the bore, across which the rollers are snapped into the pockets, characterized in that the guide surface 4 is interrupted by at least one strip 10, which curves to form an arc facing the roller 3, this strip being recessed into the guide surface 4 in the radially outward area of the cage, but projecting beyond the guide surface 4 in the radially inward area to serve as an additional retaining projection 12 for the roller3.

Abstract: A rolling bearing having separated bearing ring having held together by a dimensionally stable holding ring tightly fit over the ends of the ring halves. The axial holding of the ring halves is effected by a row of snap elements distributed about the circumference of the holding ring, the snap elements extending into annular grooves adjacent the ends of the ring halves. The snap elements are joined to the surface of the holding ring to enable bending at the joints thereof.
