Patent number: 7503697Abstract: To provide an improved rolling bearing assembly having an improved resistance to electric corrosion, which can provide a proper performance and can be assembled at a reduced cost, the rolling bearing assembly includes an inner race (1), an outer race (2) and a circumferential of rolling elements (3) rollingly interposed between the inner and outer races (1) and (2). An electrically insulating layer (4) is formed on a surface of one of the inner and outer races (1) and (2), which is held in contact with a housing or a shaft when the rolling bearing assembly is mounted. This electrically insulating layer (4) is made of a gray alumina containing Al2O3 mixed with TiO2 in a quantity chosen to be equal to or smaller than 1 wt % relative to the total weight of the gray alumina.Type: GrantFiled: October 29, 2004Date of Patent: March 17, 2009Assignee: NTN CorporationInventors: Naoaki Tsuji, Hideji Ito

Patent number: 7097362Abstract: To provide an electrocorrosion preventive rolling bearing assembly wherein a final machining of an electrically insulating layer and a thickness control of the insulating layer can easily and accurately be accomplished, the electrocorrosion preventive rolling bearing assembly is of a type in which an inner race (2) or an outer race (3) is formed with an insulating layer (6) so as to cover a peripheral surface thereof, which engages a housing or a shaft, and opposite annular end faces thereof. The insulating layer (6) is a thermally sprayed layer of a metallic oxide. Of the inner and outer races (2) and (3), a raceway member having the insulating layer (6) is provided at its end face with a tool reference plane (7) for a process of finishing the electrically insulating layer (6) or for the thickness control of the insulating layer.Type: GrantFiled: October 2, 2003Date of Patent: August 29, 2006Assignee: NTN CorporationInventors: Kosuke Inukai, Hideji Ito, Yukihiro Kataoka, Kiyoshi Sato

Patent number: 4856916Abstract: In a conductive rolling bearing comprising an inner ring (11), an outer ring (12), a plurality of rolling elements (13) mounted between the inner ring and the outer ring, and seal members for sealing the space between the inner ring and the outer ring, the seal members have one end thereof secured to one of the inner ring and the outer ring and the other end thereof in an elastic, sliding contact with a seal wall surface (18) formed on the other. The free end (19) of the seal member (15) is bent outwardly of the bearing and the seal member (15) is in a sliding contact with the seal wall surface (18) on its bent portion (20). This arrangement gives the effects of providing a low, stable torque for the bearing and of improving the seal performance of the bearing. This conductive rolling bearing is used in a steering assembly of an automobile and bearing assemblies having a bearing near electrical devices.Type: GrantFiled: March 30, 1988Date of Patent: August 15, 1989Assignee: NTN Toyo Bearing Co., Ltd.Inventors: Hideji Ito, Koji Kametaka, Yukihisa Tsumori
