Publication number: 20200340531Abstract: A roller bearing for rotationally mounting a high-speed shaft, such as a shaft for a turbocharger, includes a cage. The cage has two rings and a plurality of connecting elements and cavities for the rolling bodies. The connecting elements extend axially between the cage rings, and the cavities are located between the connecting elements. The cage is made from a metallic material and is formed according to a shaping method, wherein two tangentially adjacent ends of the cage are interconnected in a material fit.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 11, 2017Publication date: October 29, 2020Applicant: Schaeffler Technologies AG & Co.

Patent number: 9249832Abstract: A ring-shaped metal rolling bearing cage, which has cage pockets for receiving rolling elements. The cage is formed by a first and a second cage segment. Adjoining ends of the cage segments are connected to one another by suitable connection assemblies. At least one of the assemblies permits a change of the cage diameter when the cage temperature changes. The suitable assembly, on one side, is configured as a joint mechanism and, on another side, as a locking mechanism, and at least one of the assemblies has a lash. A rolling bearing cage configured with the joint mechanism and the locking mechanism can be mounted with low time expenditure in a simple and reliable manner over a shaft, particularly in the case of an idler pinion mourning.Type: GrantFiled: February 1, 2012Date of Patent: February 2, 2016Assignee: Schaeffler Technologies AG & Co.

Patent number: 9206845Abstract: A rolling bearing comprising a rolling bearing cage having a plurality of rolling element pockets arranged in at least one row to receive at least one row of rolling elements, two lateral rings and a plurality of crosspieces connecting the two lateral rings, such that the plurality of rolling element pockets are formed between the plurality of crosspieces, and at least one empty pocket. The rolling bearing cage includes fewer rolling elements in the at least one row than the number of rolling element pockets, such that the at least one empty pocket does not receive a rolling element. A method for producing a rolling bearing cage is also provided.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2011Date of Patent: December 8, 2015Assignee: SCHAEFFLER TECHNOLOGIES AG & CO.

Patent number: 8790020Abstract: A rolling bearing cage, which has two annular elements and cage crossbars connecting the annular elements to each other so as to form pockets for receiving rolling elements arranged between every two adjacent cage crossbars and the annular elements. The cage crossbars have an elastic configuration. Also, a rolling bearing is disclosed that has a rolling bearing cage.Type: GrantFiled: February 1, 2012Date of Patent: July 29, 2014Assignee: Schaeffler Technologies AG & Co.

Patent number: 8770854Abstract: The invention concerns a rolling element cage (32) made of a metal strip material that is profiled, stamped, cut to length, and bent into a round shape, wherein the ends of the cut-to-length strip sections are joined together by welding. In order to make it possible to influence the lubricant distribution in the bearing and the vibration characteristics of the cage and thus of the overall bearing system, according to the invention the strip section ends (34, 36) are joined together with a predetermined axial offset (a) and/or radial offset (b).Type: GrantFiled: December 2, 2011Date of Patent: July 8, 2014Assignee: Schaeffler Technologies AG & Co.

Patent number: 8764306Abstract: A multi-row rolling bearing, which has a cage for rows of rolling elements that is detachably connected to a respective adjoining cage. For assembly and safety of assembly, the detachable connection between the cages is at least one predetermined breaking point.Type: GrantFiled: February 15, 2012Date of Patent: July 1, 2014Assignee: Schaeffler Technologies AG & Co.

Patent number: 8573851Abstract: A needle roller bearing, which has a rimless inner ring or a rimless inner ring bushing and a plurality of rolling elements that are arranged and rotatable in the cage. For coherence of the needle roller bearing after manufacturing and for mounting in an installation space, the cage has, at least on one front end, a radially inward pointing retaining device and the inner ring or the inner ring bushing has a retaining element on its outer periphery that cooperates with the retaining device.Type: GrantFiled: February 9, 2012Date of Patent: November 5, 2013Assignee: Schaeffler Technologies AG & Co.

Publication number: 20130266251Abstract: The invention concerns a rolling bearing with a rolling bearing cage (1) having a plurality of rolling element pockets (2) arranged in at least one row to receive at least one row of rolling elements, wherein the rolling bearing cage (1) consists of two lateral rings (3) and a plurality of crosspieces (4) connecting them, between which crosspieces are formed the rolling element pockets (2), and having at least one empty pocket (5). In order to achieve cost-effective manufacture of the rolling bearing cage (1) with the fewest possible changes as compared to a rolling bearing cage fully populated with rolling elements, provision is made according to the invention that the rolling bearing cage (1) is equipped with fewer rolling elements in one row than corresponds to the number of rolling element pockets (2), causing the rolling bearing cage (1) to have empty pockets (5) without rolling elements in the at least one row of rolling element pockets (2).Type: ApplicationFiled: November 30, 2011Publication date: October 10, 2013Applicant: Schaeffler Technologies AG & Co.

Publication number: 20120213462Abstract: A needle roller bearing for a bearing arrangement, which has cage-guided cylindrical needle rollers arranged between and in rolling contact with a conical outer raceway and a conical inner raceway. For manufacturing, for economic purposes, and to keep the dimensions of the needle roller bearing as small as possible, at least one of the two conical raceways is part of a thin-walled bearing bushing that is made without chip removal and has an outer cylindrical fitting surface for an interference fit in a housing.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 17, 2012Publication date: August 23, 2012Applicant: SCHAEFFLER TECHNOLOGIES AG & CO.
