Abstract: A cam mechanism incorporating a highly precise bearing structure that improves the dynamic stability of the cam mechanism's rotating output component. Relevant structures consist of a worm gear driven rotating shaft driving a rotating output shaft supported by a cross roller bearing assembly incorporating V-shaped inner and outer bearing races that sandwich and ride over a set of rollers. Of particular note is that the outer or inner bearing race may be formed as a groove machined directly into the circumferential surface of the output shaft. Because the outer bearing race is a ring-shaped structure that concentrically surrounds the rotating output shaft, the output shaft and bearing races can be machined simultaneously as a single workpiece to assure a high degree of concentricity between the shaft and bearing races.

Abstract: An efficient, cost effective eccentric bearing assembly is provided for use in a multiple piston hydraulic pump. The eccentric bearing assembly includes a roller bearing having an annular race. The race includes a groove around its outside perimeter. The groove engagably receives parti-spherical faces of a pair of opposed pistons. The parti-spherical face evenly loads the race and rollers as the race reciprocates with the eccentric. The invention avoids the use of rotating thrust bearings and instead axially supports the piston clip with stationary surfaces. Placement of the parti-spherical face or an optional conical face, at the interface between the pistons and the grooved race maintains the sliding contact point for piston intake strokes near the center of the face.

Abstract: A prestressed adjusting mechanism of a bearing is provided with a first and a second rhombic prism ring which are placed opposite each other with a flexible partitioning ring inserted between them. There are multiple channel holes on the flexible partitioning rings, each containing a steel ball. The adjusting mechanism, after being assembled, is installed in the prestressed arrangement of a bearing. It will generate outward action on both sides by increasing the rotational speed of the spindle. The higher the rotational speed, the larger the reaction that counteracts the prestressed forces of the bearing, whereby, the bearing can sustain a high prestressed force to generate high rigidity and conversely sustains low prestressed force. In this way, the bearing can maintain a relatively longer usage life.

The outer race has a diameter "D" and a radial thickness "t", and the outer race has a large radial thickness which is accomplished by providing that the diameter "D" and the radial thickness "t" satisfy a formula t/D.gtoreq.0.07.

A pressure medium can be supplied to this pressure chamber to tightly secure the bearing bushing in the frame bore.

Abstract: The structure of the cross roller bearing does not require fixing bolts, rivets or holders for the divided races and can firmly assemble the divided races together. The cross roller bearing includes the inner race having a raceway groove and an engagement surface on its outer circumferential surface and the outer race that fits over the inner race and has a raceway groove and an engagement surface on its inner circumferential surface. The outer race is divided into two axially divided races. A large number of rollers are installed in a raceway formed between the raceway grooves. The engagement surface of the inner race is formed with recessed portions at axially inner portions, and the engagement surfaces of the divided races of the outer race are formed with raised portions that rotatably fit in the recessed portions. Thus, the divided races are assembled onto the inner race so that they are rotatable but axially locked relative to the inner race.

Sets of rollers are connected at corners of one end face by frangible connections to the inside peripheries of each of the grooves and extend radially inwardly away from the inner periphery. The outer periphery of an inside pair of rings also has faces which form a V-groove opposed to the V-groove of the outer rings, when the inner rings are advanced toward each other and joined inside the outer rings. The ends of the inner rings engage the end faces of the rollers and pivot the rollers, preferably about corners in steps on the faces which form the V-grooves which define fulcrums.

Abstract: Rollers (9a) having a frustoconical lateral wall interposed between two raceways (4, 6) of two rings (1, 2) alternate with rollers (9b) interposed between two other raceways (3, 7) of the rings (1, 2). A crown region (11) of the large base of each roller slides against the confronting raceway (7) or (6) on the outer ring (2). Crown regions (11) of the rollers (9a, 9b) of each series of rollers substantially pertain to a common ideal sphere (Sx,Sy) centered on a common apex (X, Y) toward which converges the lateral walls of the rollers of the same series and the associated raceways. The angle made between the two raceways of the outer ring is less than 90.degree.. By this arrangement is achieved, between the crown region of each roller and the raceway against which the crown region bears, a contact (T) distributed along a segment of a circle centered on the axis of the bearing.

Abstract: The bearing has an expanded load zone for better distribution of the load among the rollers, if used, or balls, if used, and allows the bearing to perform better under conditions of misalignment. As an example, the bearing may include a non-rotating ring which has an elastomer of non-uniform thickness bonded to it. The non-uniform thickness of the elastomer will cause a bearing race to go out of round when under load to the point that each roller or ball in approximately 180.degree. of the load zone has the same load, thus reducing maximum rolling element stress. Plastic, lead, alloys, or babbitt materials may be used as an alternative to elastomeric material.

The flanges extend further inwardly at or adjacent the top of the bearing than they do from the bottom of the bearing. Rollable balls are held by the races in the usual manner. The provision of the extended upper flange permits greater wear of the balls before the bearing fails. This increases the times between the need for bearing changes.
