  • Patent number: 8790021
    Abstract: The spacer is adapted for a rolling bearing comprising an inner ring, an outer ring and at least two rows of contact rollers disposed between raceways provided on the rings. The spacer comprises opposite inner and outer portions facing one another, a first lateral portion extending transversally between the inner and outer portions and connected to the portions, and a second lateral portion facing the first lateral portion and extending from the outer portion towards the inner portion. The inner and outer portions delimit together with the lateral portions a pocket configured to receive at least two superposed contact rollers. A free edge of the second lateral portion defines with the inner portion an aperture in order to open laterally the pocket on the side opposite to the first lateral portion.

  • Publication number: 20140105532
    Abstract: The roller bearing comprises an inner ring 14, an outer ring 16, at least one row of rolling elements 18, 20, 22 which are arranged between the said rings in order to form an axial thrust which can transmit axial forces, and a row of rolling elements 24 arranged between the said rings in order to form a radial thrust which can transmit radial forces. The inner ring comprises an annular groove 36 which extends towards the interior from an outer surface 14c of the said ring, and forms a raceway for the rolling elements 24 of the radial thrust.

  • Publication number: 20140010492
    Abstract: A roller bearing for a tunneller having an inner ring, an outer ring, two sets of rolling elements arranged between the tracks formed on the rings, the first set of rolling elements including at least one roller able to withstand axial stresses and the second set of rolling elements including an angular-contact roller that is able to withstand both radial and axial stresses, the inner and outer rings being concentric about an axis of rotation of the roller bearing. Each roller in the first set includes a first axis of revolution (Y1-Y1) inclined in relation to the axis of rotation (X-X) by a first angle (?1) of between 45° and 95° and each roller in the second set includes a second axis of revolution (Y2-Y2) inclined in relation to the axis of rotation (X-X) by a second angle (?2) of between 0° and 45°.
