Abstract
A pulley device for a transmission element having a pulley, a bearing, and at least one sleeve mounted freely in the bore of the inner ring of the bearing. The pulley device includes at least one annular protection shield, the shield retained axially in a first element from the pulley and coming into immediate proximity with the other element, the other element having at least one shoulder projecting radially ensuring that it is axially retained with the shield.
Claims4
A pulley device for a transmission element comprising:
- a pulley with an outer surface intended to engage the transmission element,
- a bearing provided with a rotating outer ring, the pulley being mounted on an outer surface of the outer ring, with a fixed inner ring, the rings being coaxial and forming a radial space therebetween, and with at least one row of rolling elements that is arranged in the radial space, and
- at least one sleeve housed in a bore of the inner ring, wherein
- the sleeve is mounted freely in the bore of the inner ring, wherein
- the pulley device further comprises at least one annular protection shield, the shield having a mainly radial body extending between a first end retained axially in a first element from the pulley and the sleeve, and a second end coming into immediate proximity with an other element, the other element having at least one shoulder projecting radially ensuring that it is axially retained with the second end, the at least one annular protection shield tapering axially inwardly as the at least one annular protection shield extends radially outwardly, wherein
- the pulley device comprises two sleeves arranged on either side axially in the bore of the inner ring.
