Patent number: 8556519Abstract: A radial roller bearing, in particular a single-track ball roller bearing, which has an outer bearing ring with an inner groove track, an inner bearing ring with an outer groove track and ball rollers, which are disposed parallel to one another and held in a peripheral direction at even distances from one another by a plastic bearing cage, that roll between the bearing rings in the groove tracks. Each roller has two lateral surfaces that are flattened symmetrically from a spherical base form and a defined axial tilting clearance. The cage has two axially separated, pocketed cage halves which can be assembled in a positive-fitted, form-locked or integral fashion by opposing connecting elements.Type: GrantFiled: November 27, 2009Date of Patent: October 15, 2013Assignee: Schaeffler Technologies AG & Co.

Patent number: 8425122Abstract: A double row roller bearing which has an outer and inner bearing ring and ball rollers, which have lateral faces and are arranged next to each other in rows, arranged between the bearing rings. The rollers roll in raceways incorporated into the inner face of the outer bearing ring and outer face of the inner hearing ring. The raceways run in parallel and have pressure angle axes that are pitched at a pressure angle relative to a bearing radial axis. The rollers have a distance relative to each other which excludes mutual frictional contacts. For this purpose, the distance of the pressure angle axes of the raceways is enlarged and both rows of rollers are guided in separate bearing cages, while the raceway of the rollers of the row with the larger reference circle arranged on the inner bearing ring has a one-sided axial extension using the distance.Type: GrantFiled: April 2, 2009Date of Patent: April 23, 2013Assignee: Schaeffler Technologies AG & Co.

Patent number: 8262293Abstract: A double-row angular contact bearing and which has outer and inner bearing rings with two rows of rolling elements disposed between the bearing rings that are held by two bearing cages interspaced at even distances. At least one row is configured as balls with parallel lateral faces that are symmetrically flattened. Both rows of rolling elements roll in adjacent races machined into the inner face of the outer ring and the outer face of the inner ring. The contact angle axes are pitched towards each other in an O-arrangement or X-arrangement and the races are axially delimited only on one side by shoulders. Additional clearance and supporting contours are formed at axial edge sections, opposite the shoulders, onto the races. The contours can be used to fit the balls into angular contact by axially inserting them into the clearance between the bearing rings and then tilting them into the races.Type: GrantFiled: September 2, 2008Date of Patent: September 11, 2012Assignee: Schaeffler Technologies AG & Co.

Patent number: 7938585Abstract: A radial antifriction bearing which has an outer bearing ring, an inner bearing ring and a multitude of rollers, arranged between the bearing rings and held by a bearing cage. The rollers are configured as spherical disks that each have two parallel lateral surfaces which are symmetrically flattened from a basic spherical shape. The bearing cage has cage pockets in which the rollers are axially guided between the bearing rings via two low-friction point contacts between the center areas of their lateral surfaces and the longitudinal webs of the cage pockets. The rollers have a defined degree of freedom for tilt movements exerted at an angle to the running direction and a defined degree of freedom for self-adjustment to the pressure angle of the radial antifriction bearing.Type: GrantFiled: December 5, 2006Date of Patent: May 10, 2011Assignee: Schaeffler KGInventors: Heinrich Hofmann, Horst Doppling, Andreas Bohr, Rainer Eidloth

Patent number: 7891880Abstract: A radial rolling bearing, which has an outer bearing ring, an inner bearing ring, and rollers, which are arranged between the bearing rings and held at uniform distances from one another in a peripheral direction by a bearing cage in individual cage pockets. The rollers are spherical disks that have parallel lateral surfaces which are symmetrically flattened from a basic spherical shape and which roll in groove-type raceways with their faces. The raceways are incorporated into the inner face of the outer bearing ring and the outer face of the inner bearing ring. The rollers are axially guided between the bearing rings via two low-friction line contacts between lateral surfaces and the longitudinal webs of the cage pockets. The rollers are configured to have a defined degree of freedom for self-alignment to the pressure angle of the radial rolling bearing.Type: GrantFiled: December 5, 2006Date of Patent: February 22, 2011Assignee: Schaeffler KGInventors: Heinrich Hofmann, Horst Doppling, Andreas Bohr, Rainer Eidloth

Patent number: 7775721Abstract: A roller bearing which is sealed by a sealing washer that forms a rubbing seal and two gaps. As a result of positions which are spaced apart from one another in the axial direction of a pivot point and a center of mass of an elastic support part that bears the rubbing seal, the latter is loaded with an outwardly acting axial force in the event of an increased rotational speed as a result of the centrifugal force, with the result that the rubbing sealing lip is in contact with a lower force as the rotational speed increases.Type: GrantFiled: June 26, 2006Date of Patent: August 17, 2010Assignee: Schaeffler KGInventors: Thomas Gietl, Harald Peschke, Andreas Bohr, Georg Goppelt

Publication number: 20080304781Abstract: The invention relates to a radial rolling bearing, especially a single-row deep groove rolling bearing, which substantially consists of an outer bearing ring and of an inner bearing ring as well as of a multitude of rollers, arranged between the bearing rings and held at uniform distances from one another in the peripheral direction by a bearing cage which is assembled from two ring halves. The rollers of the radial rolling bearing are configured in the form of spherical disks that each have two parallel lateral surfaces which are symmetrically flattened from a basic spherical shape and which roll off in two groove-type raceways with their faces. Said raceways are incorporated into the inner face of the outer bearing ring and into the outer face of the inner bearing ring. The bearing cage according to the invention is characterized by having individual cage pockets for each roller, said pockets encircling the roller on a reference line.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 5, 2006Publication date: December 11, 2008Applicant: SCHAEFFLER KGInventors: Heinrich Hofmann, Horst Doppling, Andreas Bohr, Rainer Eidloth

Publication number: 20060291761Abstract: The invention relates to a roller bearing (1) which is sealed by a sealing washer (6) which forms a rubbing seal and two gap seals. As a result of positions which are spaced apart from one another in the axial direction of a pivot point (A) and a centre of mass (S) of an elastic support part (14) that bears the rubbing seal (15), the latter is loaded with an outwardly acting axial force in the event of an increased rotational speed as a result of the centrifugal force, with the result that the rubbing sealing lip 15 is in contact with a lower force as the rotational speed increases.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 26, 2006Publication date: December 28, 2006Applicant: SCHAEFFLER KGInventors: Thomas Gietl, Harald Peschke, Andreas Bohr, Georg Goppelt
