Abstract
A rolling bearing having a first ring and second ring capable of rotating concentrically relative to one another, at least one first wire race mounted in the first ring, at least one second wire race mounted in the second ring, and at least one row of radial rollers radially interposed between raceways provided on the first and second wire races. The second ring provides at least two guide flanges to axially retain therebetween the row of radial rollers. The axial length of the raceway of the first wire race is greater than the axial length of the raceway of the second wire race.
Claims20
A rolling bearing having an axis of rotation, the rolling bearing comprising:
- a first ring and second ring capable of rotating concentrically relative to one another,
- at least one first wire race mounted in the first ring to form a first raceway which is parallel to the axis of rotation,
- at least one second wire race mounted in the second ring to form a second raceway, which is parallel to the axis of rotation, and
- at least one row of radial rollers radially interposed between raceways provided on the first and second wire races, each of the rollers in the at least one row of radial rollers having a roller axial width, the second ring comprising at least two guide flanges that axially retain the row of radial rollers disposed therebetween, wherein
- a first axial length of the first raceway is greater than a second axial length of the second raceway, the first axial length being greater than the roller axial width.
A rolling bearing comprising:
- a first ring and second ring capable of rotating concentrically relative to one another,
- at least one first wire race mounted in the first ring,
- at least one second wire race mounted in the second ring, and
- at least one row of radial rollers radially interposed between raceways provided on the first and second wire races, the second ring comprising at least two guide flanges that axially retain the row of radial rollers disposed therebetween, wherein
- the axial length of the raceway of the first wire race is greater than the axial length of the raceway of the second wire race, and wherein
- the first ring comprises at least one retaining rib extending into the radial space that exists between the first and second rings and towards the second ring, the retaining rib protruding radially relative to the raceway of the first wire race.
A rolling bearing comprising:
- a first ring comprising an outer ring,
- a second ring comprising an inner ring, the first ring and the second ring being capable of rotating concentrically relative to one another,
- at least one first wire race mounted in the first ring,
- at least one second wire race mounted in the second ring, and
- at least one row of radial rollers radially interposed between raceways provided on the first and second wire races, the second ring comprising at least two guide flanges that axially retain the row of radial rollers disposed therebetween, wherein
- the axial length of the raceway of the first wire race is greater than the axial length of the raceway of the second wire race.
A rolling bearing having an axis of rotation, the rolling bearing comprising:
- a first ring and second ring capable of rotating concentrically relative to one another,
- at least one first wire race mounted in the first ring to form a first raceway which is parallel to the axis of rotation,
- at least one second wire race mounted in the second ring to form a second raceway, which is parallel to the axis of rotation,
- at least one row of radial rollers radially interposed between raceways provided on the first and second wire races, each of the rollers in the at least one row of radial rollers having a roller axial width, and
- wherein, when viewed in cross-section, the first raceway radially protrudes from a radially innermost surface of the first ring.
