Publication number: 20100172606Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the production of a roller bearing (5) which does not require machining, wherein the roller bearing (5) has a bearing inner ring and a bearing outer ring (3a?, 3b?) and at least one rolling body row (9) guided between said rings in raceways (8a, 8b). In order to be able to implement the production of the bearing rings (3a?, 3b?) including the raceways (8a, 8b) for the rolling bodies (9) according to a forming method which does not involve machining, in a manner which is more cost-effective with respect to known production methods, a ring element (3) is initially produced from a sheet metal blank (1) by means of dies and pressure forming, the ring element having a section (3a) lying radially on the inside, a ring-shaped section (3b) lying radially on the outside, and having a central recess (4), raceways (8a, 8b), and preferably a set breaking point (6) between the two ring-shaped sections (3a, 3b).Type: ApplicationFiled: February 7, 2008Publication date: July 8, 2010Applicant: SCHAEFFLER KGInventors: Erich Lunz, Ralph Painta, Peter Schuster, Horst Doeppling

Publication number: 20090317030Abstract: The invention relates to an angular contact roller bearing having an outer bearing ring, an inner bearing ring, a plurality of ball rollers arranged between the rings, and a bearing cage. The ball rollers in the two adjacent rows have pressure angle axes extending parallel to one another and are arranged directly one next to the other with their side faces point toward one another. Adjacent ball rollers in the two rows are arranged on a common rotational axis.
