In a linear rolling bearing element, especially for tripod joints, the cage is formed of a relatively thick sheet metal and limit projections for a linearly movable support are formed by stamping out of the material of the cage. The rollers are likewise held in the cage by projections formed out of the cage. This results in a stable cage which can take the high forces from the engagement of the support. The outer roller may be close to the limit projection, in order to assure a good support of the roller in the extreme position of the tripod joint.

Linear rolling bearing element

A method for making hardened essentially disk-shaped machine parts particularly rotor disks for axial roller bearings consisting of the steps of forming the disk to the desired shape in the soft state, densifying at least one annular ring-shaped section of the disk by rolling or pressing and thereafter hardening the entire disk.

Method for making machine parts and machine parts produced thereby

A method for producing a cage, especially a roller cage of sheet material by punching out the roller element pockets, consisting of the steps of stamping the sheet material in the direction of the sheet thickness in at least predetermined areas of the punching line for forming the rolling element pockets and thereafter forming the pockets by a punching operation.

Method for making a cage and the cage produced thereby

The rolling bearing of a guide roller is held in the bore of a thin wall roller adapted to guide a pulley, by projections radially inwardly extending from the thin wall roller. The projections may be in the form of beads having planar surfaces in a plane normal to the axis of the bearing on the side facing the bearing, or they may be notches having one side thereof separating from the material of the roller to be forced radially inwardly to engage the sides of the bearing. The notches may be resilient, to enable the bearing to be snapped into position.

A thin-walled bearing bushing produced by deep drawing, in particular for the seating of pins in universal joints, including a cylindrical sleeve section with a bottom section closing the sleeve off on one end. One or more concentric depressions are axially pressed in the outer surface of the bottom surface near the resulting sharp peripheral edges. A plurality of indentations, displaced radially inward relative to the depressions and reducing the wall thickness of the bottom section of the bushing, are provided on the outer surface of the bottom section so that the uniform bushing inner surface will have a large axial load-carrying capacity.

Thin-walled bearing bushing produced by deep drawing

A method for making by a deep drawing process a thin-walled bearing bushing comprising a cylindrical sleeve section and a bottom section closing one end of the sleeve section having an outer peripheral rim at the juncture of the sleeve and bottom sections of small cross sectional radius including the step of forming an annular groove which is deep relative to the normal thickness of the bottom section and has a sharp profile in one face of the bottom section adjacent the juncture of the sleeve and bottom section, the groove being impressed axially to effect radial displacement of the material outward into the area of the peripheral rim.

Method of making a thin-walled bearing bushing

In a non-machining method for manufacturing a solid-bottomed or internally flanged bearing race, especially for rolling contact bearings, the starting material is in the form of a band. For the economical manufacture of this bearing race with an annular groove of extremely precise cross-sectional shape which reduces the wall thickness of the bearing race, and which is situated at the transition from the bottom or flange portion to the race portion, a flat roundel is first stamped from the band. Then a concentric annular groove is worked into one of the planar surfaces of the roundel, while the opposite planar surface thereof is supported on a planar supporting surface. Lastly, the roundel is deep-drawn in a die to form a bearing race having a solid bottom. The end face of the drawing punch concentrically engages the roundel's planar surface that is encompassed by the annular groove. This end face has a diameter that is equal to or greater than the diameter of the radially inner edge of the annular grooves and smaller than the diameter of the radially outer edge of the annular groove.

Non-machining method of manufacturing a solid-bottomed or internally

A process and apparatus for forming a cage part, for a ball bearing, wherein the cage parts are annular with alternate flat portions and ball receiving recesses. The cage parts are formed by pressing the rings from cage material such as steel. The flat portions are formed with axially extending rivet pins or holes for receiving the rivet pins of another cage part, in order to enable fastening of the cage parts together. The rivet pins are formed by pressing operation at the time as forming the cage part, by the flowing of the material of the cage part into recesses in a die.

Method and apparatus for the production of a rolling bearing cage

A fastening means for securing an annular first machine element against axial displacement on an annular second machine element, said second machine element having a shoulder against which the first machine element abuts and an annular groove spaced from said shoulder comprising a first ring member circumscribing the second machine element and having one axial end face confronting and abutting an axial end face of said first machine element and being formed to define an annular pocket, a second one-piece ring made of a deformable material which is initially sleeve-shape and is adapted to engage in the annular pocket and be deformed in a radial direction as a result of axially applied pressure during assembly into the annular pocket in such a way that a portion thereof engages in the annular groove in the second machine element to secure the two in place.

Roller bearings installed without clearance and preloaded

Thin-walled bearing bushing produced in a drawing process for the support of pins in universal joints comprising an elongated generally cylindrical sleeve section and a bottom section forming an end closure at one axial end of said sleeve section, the juncture of the peripheral surface of said sleeve section and the outer axial end face of said bottom section defining an outer rim having at least portions of a small cross sectional radius (r), and means defining at least a pair of separate circumferentially extending spaced grooves in the bottom section adjacent said peripheral rim.

Thin-walled bearing bushings manufactured by a deep drawing process

Thin-walled bearing bushing produced in a drawing process for the support of pins in universal joints, consisting of a cylindrical sleeve section and a bottom section which closes this cylindrical sleeve section on one axial end whereby a peripheral rim with a small cross sectional radius is formed between the outside surface of the sleeve section and the outside surface of the bottom section, characterized in that a recess (9, 18, 22) is provided in one surface of the bottom section (6) radially inward of the peripheral rim (7) and axially impressed in said one surface.

Thin-walled bearing bushings produced in the drawing process

A skateboard comprising an elongated board and a pair of trucks mounted adjacent opposite ends of the board, each having a pair of rotatable wheels. Each truck consists of a tensile elastic suspension member and a pivot support consisting of a universally movable ball and socket joint.
