Publication number: 20030094073Abstract: A method for mounting an axially split sleeve provided with an axial slot on a shaft so that a tapering surface on the sleeve cooperates with a tapering bore of a machine member. A flange is axially connected to the sleeve and supports a number of spaced apart tightening devices that are to be urged against the machine member for mutually displacing the machine member and the sleeve to increase the grip between the shaft, the sleeve and the machine member. The method involves positioning the sleeve around the shaft with the annular flange positioned with its tightening devices against the machine member, tightening a first one of the tightening devices which is located at a position diametrically opposite the slot in the sleeve, and thereafter tightening further ones of the tightening devices one by one.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 15, 2002Publication date: May 22, 2003Inventors: Sture Ostling, Uno Axelsson

Publication number: 20020152834Abstract: An attachment device for a bore-provided machine member on a cylindrical shaft. A two-part sleeve is arranged in an annular space between the shaft and the machine member to provide a clamping force between the machine member and the shaft. The sleeve parts have mating cooperating taper surfaces that face each other so that upon mutual displacement of the sleeve parts the overall radial size of the sleeve parts changes. A first ring member is arranged about the shaft and forms a stop for one of the sleeve parts and a supporting device is adapted to move the machine member with respect to the shaft to cause mutual displacement of the sleeve parts. A second ring member positioned between the two-part sleeve and the machine member has a tapering bore, a tapering outer surface, and an inwardly projecting abutment for a second one of the sleeve parts.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 23, 2002Publication date: October 24, 2002Inventors: Sture Ostling, Uno Axelsson

Patent number: 6152604Abstract: A bearing unit having a sealed single-row deep-groove ball bearing. The sealed single-row deep-groove ball bearing includes an outer race ring with a sphered outer envelope surface, a housing with a sphered bore for accommodating the bearing, an inner race ring with a taper bore, and a correspondingly tapered clamping sleeve provided in the bore of the inner race ring and having a flange provided on at least one side of the bearing. The flange has at least one bore, and at least one tightening device for causing a force on the bearing inner race ring for displacing the inner race ring along the clamping sleeve thereby causing a clamping effect between the inner race ring and the sleeve and between the sleeve and a shaft on which the bearing unit is mounted. The bore of the flange includes a threaded through-bore extending at an acute angle with respect to an axial direction of an inner envelope surface of the sleeve.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 1999Date of Patent: November 28, 2000Assignee: SKF Mekan ABInventors: Sture Ostling, Krister Hornfeldt, Uno Axelsson

Patent number: 4978236Abstract: A bearing housing (3) supports a bearing (2) for a shaft (1). The bearing is mounted on the shaft with a clamping sleeve (4) on which are provided two flanges (5, 6) on opposite sides of the bearing. The flanges form part of mounting and dismounting means for the bearing. Sealing members (12, 13) are provided between the flanges (5, 6) and the housing (3) radially outside the flanges. Means (7) are provided for displacement of the bearing (2) axially on the clamping sleeve (4) when mounting and dismounting the bearing.

Patent number: 4768993Abstract: A device for elastic interconnection of two rotatable shafts consisting of a first sleeve intended to be connected to a first shaft end. The sleeve has a radial flange and a cylindrical, annular portion connected to the periphery of the flange. A second sleeve is intended to be connected to a second shaft end and to be surrounded by said cylindrical portion. A number of elastically deformable spherical elements are arranged in opposing recesses in said second sleeve and cylindrical portion and distributed around a shaft end. The recesses in the cylindrical portion are arranged in the end surfaces of plugs and provided with external threads. The plugs by being turned are displaceable in threaded bores provided radially in the wall of the cylindrical part. The outer end surfaces of the plugs are provided with diametrical grooves and the cylindrical portion is provided with a diametrical groove. The diametrical grooves and the peripheral grooves define an annular groove.Type: GrantFiled: January 21, 1987Date of Patent: September 6, 1988Assignee: AB SKFInventors: Uno Axelsson, Stig Persson, Sture Ostling

Patent number: 4598443Abstract: A device for providing a clamping joint comprises two elements (1,2) with complementary threads, each having a flange constituting a clamping surface. Clamping takes place upon relative axial displacement of the elements (1,2) which can be brought about by screws (4) arranged axially in bores in a flange (5) on one element. In order to prevent accidental disengagement of the elements, at least one of the threads adjoins at one end to a part (6) which is wedged against an opposing thread flank when the elements (1,2) are rotated in relation to each other over a predetermined end position.Type: GrantFiled: January 23, 1984Date of Patent: July 8, 1986Assignee: SKF Nova ABInventors: Sture Ostling, Bengt Lundgren

Patent number: 4136914Abstract: A bearing housing characterized by novel features of construction and arrangement providing an adjustable bearing seat. The housing has a longitudinal slot and mounting portions protruding at each side of the slot. Each of the mounting portions is provided with a support surface confronting a base which in the unloaded condition is disposed at an angle relative to the base. The angular relationship of the mounting portions to the base can be selectively varied by pressing the mounting portions against the base by fastening elements engaging through openings in the mounting portion and engageable in the base. The housing is elastically deformable and when so adjusted the width of the slot is selectively varied and thereby the diameter of the seat can be adjusted.Type: GrantFiled: May 10, 1977Date of Patent: January 30, 1979Assignee: SKF Nova ABInventor: Sture Ostling
