Abstract
An assembly tool for a bearing ring having roller members, the tool including a ring configured to be arranged on a side face of the bearing ring and including sliding elements received in receiving members on the ring. The sliding elements are distributed peripherally in a uniform manner around the ring and are configured to be displaced from a starting position into an end position relative to the ring. When the tool is mounted on the ring, the sliding elements, positioned in their end positions, extend between adjacent roller members and limit a radial movability of the roller members relative to the bearing ring.
Claims19
An assembly tool for a bearing ring having roller members, the assembly tool comprising:
- a ring which is constructed to be arranged on a side face of the bearing ring, and sliding elements,
- wherein the ring has receiving members for the sliding elements, and
- wherein the sliding elements are distributed peripherally in a uniform manner around the ring and are configured to be displaced from a starting position into an end position relative to the ring,
- wherein the sliding elements are configured to be arranged in the end position in each case between two roller members in order to limit a radial movability of the roller members relative to the bearing ring,
- wherein the ring has an annular face, and
- wherein the sliding elements are displaceable in an angular manner with respect to the annular face so that the sliding elements in their end position form a frustoconical shape.
An assembly tool for a bearing ring having roller members, the assembly tool comprising:
- a ring which is constructed to be arranged on a side face of the bearing ring, and sliding elements, and
- a centering element configured to center the ring on the outer diameter of a guide flange of the bearing ring,
- wherein the ring has receiving members for the sliding elements,
- wherein the sliding elements are distributed peripherally in a uniform manner around the ring and are configured to be displaced from a starting position into an end position relative to the ring, and
- wherein the sliding elements are configured to be arranged in the end position in each case between two roller members in order to limit a radial movability of the roller members relative to the bearing ring.
An assembly tool for a bearing ring having roller members, the assembly 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 captively and 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.
