Abstract
A roller bearing (2) having a sleeve (5), by which a rolling element raceway is formed, and a lid (1) held to the sleeve by a snap-on connection, wherein the lid has securing projections (17), which are directed outward, which protrude beyond the sleeve (5) in the radial direction and are provided for axially fixing the lid in a housing (4) surrounding the sleeve.
Claims13
A roller bearing, comprising:
- a sleeve which forms a rolling element raceway;
- and
- a lid held to the sleeve by a snap-on connection, the lid including integrally formed securing protrusions which are directed outward and protrude beyond the sleeve in a radial direction at a transition between an annular disc-shaped section and a rim of the lid and are adapted to axially fix the lid in a housing surrounding the sleeve.
A method for producing a lid of a roller bearing, comprising:
- providing an annular disc-shaped blank,
- forming a rim on an outer edge of the blank,
- forming radially inwardly directed snap-on locking elements on an edge of the rim that are adapted for a snap-on connection with a sleeve of the roller bearing, and
- forming radially outwardly directed securing protrusions that protrude from the rim at a transition between the annular disc-shaped section of the blank and the rim and are adapted for fixing the lid in a housing bore.
