Publication number: 20230417279Abstract: A tapered roller bearing having a diameter of less than 1.5 m includes an inner ring having at least one inner raceway, an outer ring having at least one outer raceway and at least one set of tapered rollers between the inner ring and the outer ring that are configured to roll on the at least one inner raceway and on the at least one outer raceway about a tapered-roller rotational axis while the tapered roller bearing is configured to rotate about a bearing rotational axis. An angle formed by the bearing rotational axis and the tapered-roller rotational axis is greater than 450 and is preferably between 500 and 55°.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 5, 2021Publication date: December 28, 2023Inventors: Thilo BECK, Andreas BEUTLER, Helger HEMPEL, Henning KERN, Udo KRUG, Peter LEMPER, Klaus-Dieter Schulz

Patent number: 11655854Abstract: A rolling-element bearing assembly includes a first bearing ring and a second bearing ring that define a bearing interior between them, a plurality of rolling elements disposed in the bearing interior to allow a relative rotation of first and second bearing rings, and a seal assembly for sealing the bearing interior. The seal assembly includes a seal carrier that is connected to the first bearing ring such that they rotate together and a seal element that is connected to the seal carrier such that they rotate together, and the seal carrier comprises a fiber-reinforced plastic.Type: GrantFiled: November 4, 2020Date of Patent: May 23, 2023Assignee: AKTIEBOLAGET SKFInventors: Jan Kroeger, Peter Lemper, Hans-Juergen Liesegang, Klaus-Dieter Schulz

Patent number: 11428269Abstract: A rolling-element bearing assembly includes first and second bearing rings that form a bearing interior between them and a plurality of rolling elements disposed in the bearing interior and a seal assembly for sealing the bearing interior. The seal assembly includes a seal carrier and a seal element having at least one primary seal lip for sealing the bearing interior and a secondary seal lip for sealing against external contamination. The seal element is connected to the seal carrier such that the primary seal lip and the secondary seal lip abut axially against an axial end surface of the second bearing ring.Type: GrantFiled: November 4, 2020Date of Patent: August 30, 2022Assignee: AKTIEBOLAGET SKFInventors: Jan Kroeger, Peter Lemper, Hans-Juergen Liesegang, Klaus-Dieter Schulz

Patent number: 9297412Abstract: A bearing assembly includes at least one outer ring and an inner ring unit including first and second inner rings, the inner ring unit having a central, axial bore extending through the first and second inner rings, and a plurality of attachment bores for attaching the bearing assembly to a bearing carrier. A first plurality of roller bodies is disposed between the at least one outer ring and the first inner ring and a second plurality of roller bodies is disposed between the at least one outer ring and the second inner ring. A pin extends through the central axial bore of the first inner ring and through the central axial bore of the second inner ring, and the pin maintains a predetermined preload on the bearing assembly by holding the first inner ring in a fixed position relative to the second inner ring.Type: GrantFiled: May 6, 2014Date of Patent: March 29, 2016Assignee: AKTIEBOLAGET SKFInventors: Roland Haas, Elke Huhn, Marcel Gersting, Volker Wendt, Peter Lemper

Publication number: 20110026865Abstract: A bearing assembly includes at least one outer ring and an inner ring unit having at least two inner rings, each having a central bore. A supporting element extends through the central bores. Roller bodies are rotatably disposed between the at least one outer ring and each of the inner rings. Radially-outer bores extend through the inner ring unit or the supporting element in the axial direction and each receives a screw or bolt for affixing the bearing assembly on a bearing carrier. The radially-outer bores are spaced from the symmetry axis of the bearing assembly. At least one lubrication conduit is defined on or in at least one of the inner rings and is configured to communicate liquid lubricant to the roller bodies.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 9, 2010Publication date: February 3, 2011Applicant: AKTIEBOLAGET SKFInventors: Roland Haas, Elke Huhn, Marcel Gersting, Volker Wendt, Peter Lemper
