  • Patent number: 10704596
    Abstract: A toroidal roller bearing that provides an inner ring, an outer ring and a plurality of roller elements interposed in-between the inner and outer rings such that the rings rotate relative each other in relation to a rotational axle. The bearing is configured such that the inner ring and the outer ring are capable of being axially displaced and angularly misaligned relative each other in relation to the rotational axle. At least one of the inner or outer ring provides a recess in an axially extending section extending from one of its axial ends. The recess is arranged such that an axial gripping force can be generated onto the ring. In addition, the present disclosure provides a bearing arrangement that includes the bearing.

  • Patent number: 9243664
    Abstract: A toroidal roller bearing, which comprises an outer ring, an inner ring and a plurality of roller elements interposed between the outer and inner rings, wherein the toroidal roller bearing allows for angular and axial displacement between the outer ring and the inner ring. The bearing includes a cage for holding the roller elements, wherein the cage provides an axial guiding feature for axially guiding the roller elements against at least one of the outer ring, inner ring and a separate element located outside the toroidal roller bearing.

  • Publication number: 20150098825
    Abstract: A bearing arrangement, comprising a rolling bearing, which includes an inner ring, an outer ring, rolling elements interposed therebetween, and a cage for holding and separating the rolling elements, wherein the inner ring presents an inner circumferential surface. A shaft is also present, wherein the rolling bearing is mounted on the shaft via the inner circumferential surface of the inner ring. The shaft during operation is meant to oscillate in its axial direction, or is positioned in an angle ? being (90?y) degrees, wherein y is between 0 and 89, or the rolling elements during operation are exposed of an axial force F, and the cage presents means for axially guiding the rolling elements against at least one of the inner ring, the outer ring or a separate element located outside the rolling bearing. The bearing can be integrated into a wind turbine main shaft arrangement.
