Abstract
An axial angle disk, formed in one piece, has a radial segment to which an axially bent part is connected that is provided at at least one point on a periphery thereof with a holding projection that protrudes radially. The holding projection (2.2.1, 5.2.1, 8.2.1, 8.3.1) is formed with by stamping such that an uninterrupted material connection is realized between the bent part (2.2, 5.2, 8.2, 8.3) and the holding projection (2.2.1, 5.2.1, 8.2.1, 8.3.1). The projection height, extending in the radial direction, has maximum magnitude s of ⅔ of the wall thickness b of the axially bent part (2.2, 5.2, 8.2, 8.3).
Claims6
Axial angle disk formed in one piece, adapted for use in a thrust bearing, the axial angle disk comprising:
- a radial segment that forms a raceway to which at least one axially bent part is connected that is provided at at least one point on a periphery thereof with a holding projection that protrudes radially, the projection being adapted to engage an associated component from behind so that a captive packaged unit made up of the axial angle disk and the component is formed, and/or is adapted to engage in an associated recess of a connected construction so that a captive packaged unit made up of the axial angle disk and the connected construction is formed, the holding projection having a path that climbs at an angle in a direction of assembly, and having at an end thereof a sloping edge that falls away in a radial direction,
- wherein the holding projection (2.2.1, 5.2.1, 8.2.1, 8.3.1) is formed by a stamping, and an uninterrupted material connection is formed between the bent part (2.2, 5.2, 8.2, 8.3) and the holding projection (2.2.1, 5.2.1, 8.2.1, 8.3.1), the projection height, extending in the radial direction, has a maximum size s of ⅔ of a wall thickness b of the axially bent part (2.2, 5.2, 8.2, 8.3), and the holding projection (2.2.1, 5.2.1, 8.2.1, 8.3.1) has a rounded shape.
