Publication number: 20150049976Abstract: An object of the present invention is to prevent abrasion powder from accumulating and stacking in pockets in a retainer of a roller bearing, thereby protecting the rollers from brinelling and loss of lubrication for extended life of the roller bearing. On an inner diameter surface of annular regions in the retainer, cutouts are formed from the retainer's axially outer side end surface toward an inner side. The cutout has an outer diametrical position on a more radially outer position than an outer diametrical end of the inner-side projection of the retainer. This improves an axial flow of lubricant oil from an inner diameter side of the retainer toward the cutout which is formed in the annular region, making it less likely that dust such as metal abrasion powder contained in the lubricant oil will stay at the inner-side projection of the pillar.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 22, 2012Publication date: February 19, 2015Applicant: NTN CORPORATIONInventors: Tsutomu Nakagawa, Masashi Nishimura, Shinji Oishi

Patent number: 8939865Abstract: Surface indentation and oil film shortage on rollers is prevented and longer service life of a roller bearing is achieved, by preventing wear debris from being caught and accumulated in pockets of a holder of the roller bearing. Positions and dimensional relations of the diameters of inner and outer ring raceways, the inner and outer diameters of the holder, and inner and outer protrusions which are provided to pillar parts of the holder to prevent the rollers from coming off are defined such that the inner and outer protrusions of the pillar parts always do not come into contact with the outer circumferential surfaces of the rollers in the state where the rollers and the holder are incorporated between inner and outer members. As a result, lubricant oil is smoothly circulated in gaps formed between the outer circumferential surfaces of the rollers and the pillar parts of the holder.Type: GrantFiled: August 30, 2012Date of Patent: January 27, 2015Assignee: NTN CorporationInventors: Tsutomu Nakagawa, Masashi Nishimura, Shinji Oishi

Publication number: 20120294741Abstract: An object of the invention is to provide a pump tappet capable of bearing a large load from a pump plunger even if a case, which is a constituent member of the pump tappet, has a reduced thickness in its intermediate bottom. The invention thus contributes to reduced weight of the overall pump tappet. The case for the pump tappet is formed from an intermediary workpiece 40, which is made by means of a cold forging process of pressing a central region of a round steel material from both surfaces thereby pushing a portion of the material in the central region radially outward, forcing the material to flow axially in an up-down direction, so that an intermediate bottom 40e has a continuous fiber flow.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 14, 2010Publication date: November 22, 2012Inventors: Masashi Nishimura, Shinji Oishi, Akio Kato
