Abstract
A bearing ring includes a temperature compensation ring made from an elastic material vulcanized or otherwise materially bonded onto an outer surface of the bearing ring, the outer surface being oriented in a radial direction. The bearing ring includes a radially encircling groove, and in an unloaded state of the temperature compensation ring, that is, independently of an application of axial pressure against the temperature compensation ring, the temperature compensation ring fills the groove in an interference-fit manner.
Claims16
A bearing ring including a temperature compensation ring made from an elastic material vulcanized onto an outer surface of the bearing ring, the outer surface being oriented in a radial direction,
- wherein the bearing ring includes a radially encircling groove, and
- wherein in an unloaded state of the temperature compensation ring, the temperature compensation ring fills the groove in an interference-fit manner.
A method for manufacturing a bearing ring assembly comprising:
- vulcanizing a temperature compensation ring made from an elastic material onto a bearing ring so that a still-liquid material of the temperature compensation ring penetrates into a groove of the bearing ring.
The method according to claim 97, further comprising allowing the liquid material to leak out of the mold to regions of the outer surface away from the temperature compensation ring and removing the material from the regions.
A bearing ring including a temperature compensation ring made from an elastic material materially bonded onto an outer surface of the bearing ring, the outer surface being oriented in a radial direction,
- wherein the bearing ring includes a radially encircling groove, and
- wherein the temperature compensation ring fills the groove in an interference-fit manner independently of an application of axial pressure against the temperature compensation ring.
