Publication number: 20230137648Abstract: A sealed rolling bearing is provided which includes slingers, and seal members disposed between the inner ring and the outer ring, and sealing the rolling element installation area. The radially inner and outer portions of each slinger are bent inwardly such that a labyrinth portion is defined between the radially outer bent portion of the slinger and the radially inner surface of the outer ring, the labyrinth portion having a path length, in the axial direction of the bearing, longer than the material thickness of the slinger.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 19, 2021Publication date: May 4, 2023Applicant: NTN CORPORATIONInventors: Hayato KAWAGUCHI, Takahiro WAKUDA

Patent number: 11326644Abstract: A bearing assembly includes a rolling bearing having a bearing ring fitted to a mating member, i.e., a shaft or a housing, with a clearance fit. Of the bearing ring and the mating member, the bearing ring has a flank face that separates a fitting surface of the bearing ring across the entire width thereof. The flank face defines a radial gap between the bearing ring and the housing. In a load receiving region where the radial gap remains, a portion of the bearing ring which is deformed in a wave-shaped pattern is kept out of contact with the fitting surface of the housing. The wave-shaped deformation of the bearing ring does not act as traveling waves that cause creep of the bearing ring.Type: GrantFiled: September 17, 2019Date of Patent: May 10, 2022Assignee: NTN CorporationInventor: Hayato Kawaguchi

Publication number: 20220099142Abstract: A ball bearing is provided which includes a cage made of a resin, and having pockets open to the side surface of the cage on its one axial side. The ball bearing includes an outer bearing ring including a radially protruding engagement portion on the other axial side of the raceway surface. The cage includes engagement portions disposed on the other axial side of the pockets so as to be engageable with the engagement portion of the outer bearing ring in the other axial direction. The relationship between the axial depth H of each pocket and the diameter d of the ball is set at 0.15d?H?0.65d. By setting the above relationship in this way, it is possible to reduce the deformation of the cage due to a centrifugal force, and to reduce the shear resistance of lubricating oil between the pockets and the balls.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 23, 2020Publication date: March 31, 2022Applicant: NTN CorporationInventors: Hayato KAWAGUCHI, Nozomi ISOBE

A vibration absorbing member of synthetic rubber is formed on both side surfaces of the intermediate region. The vibration absorbing member is integrally connected on each side through the weight-lightening apertures.
