Patent number: 11674552Abstract: A tensioning arrangement for a bearing ring, which introduces a compressive force towards a rotational centre of the bearing ring, to prevent the bearing ring distorting as a shaft supported by the bearing turns. The tensioner arrangement includes a strap and a tensioner. The strap has a connector at each end, and tensioner has an element for connecting to the connectors. The tensioner also has an element for applying tension to the strap. In use, the strap is arranged around the bearing ring and a circumferential length of the strap in contact with the bearing ring is reduced, thereby applying compressive force to the bearing ring.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2022Date of Patent: June 13, 2023Assignee: Insight Analytics Solutions Holdings LimitedInventors: Colin McNichols, Chad Phillip Glinsky, Ashley Crowther
