  • Publication number: 20150285304
    Abstract: A ball roller bearing (1) formed from a plurality of ball rollers (4) arranged between an outer bearing ring (2) and an inner bearing ring (3) and each of which comprises two parallel lateral surfaces (5, 6) and rolls, with their running surfaces (7) extending between said lateral surfaces (5, 6), in two groove-shaped raceways (10, 11) in an inner side (8) of the outer bearing ring (2) and the outer side (9) of the inner bearing ring (3), and which are held within individual cage pockets (12) of a bearing cage (13). The bearing cage (13) includes two interconnected lateral rings (15, 16) and two cage ribs which are connected thereto and in guiding contact with these lateral surfaces (5, 6) for axially guiding the ball rollers (4).

  • Patent number: 8382379
    Abstract: A ball roller bearing and to a method for the installation thereof. The ball roller bearing has an outer bearing race, and an inner bearing race, and a plurality of ball rollers, which are disposed between the bearing races and are held at equal distances to each other by a bearing cage. For this purpose, the ball rollers have a width of approximately 70% of the diameter of a spherical shape thereof, and roll with bearing surfaces thereof in two groove-shaped raceways, the depth of which is smaller than the distance between the outer and inner bearing race. The cage pockets of the bearing cage have a cross-sectional contour of a ball roller disposed in the longitudinal and transverse directions to the circumferential direction. The method for installation of the ball roller bearing is a cross/oblique pivot mount between the inner and outer bearing races and the ball rollers.
