Abstract
An installation tool for a bearing ring including rolling elements includes a ring that is configured to be disposed on a lateral surface of the bearing ring and slider elements extending through receptacles in the ring. The slider elements are uniformly distributed circumferentially around the ring and are displaceable relative to the ring from an initial position into an end position and are configured to be disposed in the end position between two rolling elements and against a contact surface of a wall of a cage segment, which wall is disposed between two rolling elements, in order to limit axial and radial movement of the rolling elements relative to the bearing ring.

An installation tool for a bearing ring including rolling elements, the installation tool comprising:
- a ring configured to be disposed on a lateral surface of the bearing ring, and
- slider elements mounted in receptacles of the ring,
- wherein the slider elements are uniformly distributed circumferentially around the ring and are displaceable relative to the ring from an initial position into an end position, and
- wherein the slider elements are configured to be disposed in the end position between two rolling elements and against a contact surface of a wall of a cage segment, which wall is disposed between two rolling elements, in order to limit a radial mobility of the rolling elements with respect to the bearing ring.
An installation tool for a bearing ring having rolling elements, the installation tool comprising:
- a ring having an axial centerline and a first axial end face and a second axial end face and plurality of through openings extending from the first axial end face to the second axial end face and arranged along a periphery of the ring, the second axial end face including an annular shoulder configured to engage the bearing ring, and
- a plurality of elongated sliders, each of the sliders being slidably mounted in the respective plurality of through openings at an angle to the axial centerline, each of the plurality of sliders having a grip portion at a first side of the first axial end face and an end portion at a second axial side of the first axial end face,
- wherein each of the sliders is shiftable relative to the ring from a first position in which the end portion is spaced a first distance from the first axial end face to a second position in which the end portion is spaced a second distance from the first axial end face, the second distance being less than the first distance.
