  • Publication number: 20240318686
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a pre-assembled unit having two tapered roller bearings, for a driven shaft designed to be replaced efficiently and to maintain optimal tightness as if it were factory assembled. The bearing comprises a rubber seal attached to the lateral face of the inner race of one of the tapered rollers, said face being opposite the smooth face of the other tapered roller. The necessary widening of the inner races requires a second invention, namely, a roller cage that allows the rollers to rock slightly in order to be assembled without causing damage or becoming damaged.
