Abstract
A processing machine (1) has a machine frame (2) and a processing element (3) arranged so as to be movable relative thereto via a drive shaft (5). The drive shaft (5) is coupled with the machine frame (2) and the processing element (3) by means of a floating-bearing arrangement (13). The floating-bearing arrangement (13) has at least two rolling-contact bearings (16, 19, 22, 24), with a first rolling-contact bearing (19, 24), coupled with the drive shaft (5), and a second rolling-contact bearing (16, 22), arranged on the machine frame (2), and a common connecting bearing shell (15, 25, 26). The connecting bearing shell (15, 25, 26) supports the rolling-contact bodies of the first and second rolling-contact bearings (16, 19, 22, 24) and is driven.
Claims16
A processing machine, comprising:
- a machine frame;
- a processing element arranged so as to be movable relative to the machine frame;
- at least one drive shaft for moving the processing element relative to the machine frame;
- and a floating-bearing arrangement coupling the at least one drive shaft to the machine frame and the processing element, wherein the floating-bearing arrangement comprises at least two rolling-contact bearings coupled to one another and having a first rolling-contact bearing that is coupled with the drive shaft, and a second rolling-contact bearing that is arranged on the machine frame, and a common connecting bearing shell, wherein the connecting bearing shell supports rolling-contact bodies of the first and second rolling-contact bearings and wherein the bearing arrangement comprises a drive for moving the connecting bearing shell.
A floating-bearing arrangement, comprising a first rolling-contact bearing and a second rolling-contact bearing, wherein the first and second rolling-contact bearings have a common connecting bearing shell which supports the rolling-contact bodies of the first and second rolling-contact bearings;
- and a drive device for moving the common connecting bearing shell relative to the rolling-contact bodies.
