Abstract: A bearing seal including an anchoring portion fixed on an inner ring of the bearing, and a sealing portion capable of forming a sealing fit with an outer ring of the bearing, the seal providing rigid slinger of substantially circular shape, the slinger having a root portion formed at a position corresponding to the anchoring portion for stabilization and support, and a radial portion formed in the section corresponding to the area between the anchoring portion and the sealing portion for radial support, wherein the radial portion is formed with at least one slot with the opening direction facing the radial periphery.

Abstract: A cage includes a first sub-part having a plurality of first partitions integrated as a whole and a plurality of first pocket portions formed by adjacent first partitions. A first engaging portion is formed on at least one of the first partitions. A second sub-part includes a plurality of second partitions integrated as a whole and a plurality of second pocket portions formed by adjacent second partitions. A second engaging portion is formed on at least one of the second partitions. A pocket is formed by the first pocket portion and its corresponding second pocket portion. Each first engaging portion snaps with its corresponding second engaging portion. The cage overcomes the harmful umbrella effect found in a one-piece polymer prong-type cage, so that the bearing equipped with this cage can operate under very high speeds. The cage can be part of a ball bearing.

Abstract: A cage includes a first sub-part having a plurality of first partitions integrated as a whole and a plurality of first pocket portions formed by adjacent first partitions. A second sub-part has a plurality of second partitions integrated as a whole and a plurality of second pocket portions formed by adjacent second partitions. A first recess is provided on the first partition belonging to a first set of the plurality of first partitions. A second pin extends along an axial direction from the second partition belonging to a second set of the plurality of second partitions. The second pin is fixed in its corresponding first recess. The first set of first partitions includes any one or more of the plurality of first partitions. The second set of second partitions includes any one or more of the plurality of second partitions and correspond to the first set of first partitions respectively.

Abstract: A method for packing rolling elements in a bearing providing using a bearing ring fixing component to fix a first bearing ring, preventing it from shifting when subjected to radial compression; inserting two first packing supports between a first bearing ring raceway and a second bearing ring raceway at a predetermined circumferential angle, the two first packing supports dividing the bearing in a circumferential range into a compression zone lying and a warping zone lying outside the range of the circumferential angle; and using a bearing ring compression component to apply a compressive load to a circumferential portion of the second bearing ring. The compressive load directed towards the first bearing ring in a radial direction, to force a radial gap between the first bearing ring raceway and second bearing ring raceway to decrease, such that a window suitable for packing the rolling elements is formed in the warping zone.

Abstract: A bearing seal including an anchoring portion fixed on an inner ring of the bearing, and a sealing portion capable of forming a sealing fit with an outer ring of the bearing, the seal providing rigid slinger of substantially circular shape, the slinger having a root portion formed at a position corresponding to the anchoring portion for stabilization and support, and a radial portion formed in the section corresponding to the area between the anchoring portion and the sealing portion for radial support, wherein the radial portion is formed with at least one slot with the opening direction facing the radial periphery. The present invention also provides a flexible sealed bearing and a harmonic drive fitted with such a bearing. The seal ensures the flexible bearing operates reliably and permanently despite forced deformation and can meet the application needs of the harmonic drive for flexible sealed bearings.
