Abstract
At least two longitudinally spaced and axially adjustable anti-friction bearings are provided on a support and each of these has an inner and an outer race. A spindle is rotatably journalled in these bearings and has one end adjacent one of the bearings. The spindle is subject to the action of axial forces acting upon one end in direction toward another end of the spindle which is adjacent the other bearing. A pressure-exerting arrangement adjacent the other end serves to exert upon the other bearing a counter force acting in direction towards the one end of the spindle and tending to shift the spindle counter to the axial forces, and a transmitting arrangement transmits the counter force to the outer race of the one bearing to adjust the same axially relative to the spindle in accordance with the shifting of the latter.
Claims15
A mounting arrangement for a spindle which is subject to axially directed forces, comprising support means;
- at least two longitudinally spaced and axially adjustable anti-friction bearings on said support means and each having an inner and outer race;
- a spindle rotatably journalled in said bearings and having one end adjacent one of said bearings, said spindle being subject to the action of axial forces acting upon said one end in direction toward an other end of the spindle which is adjacent the other of said bearings;
- pressure-exerting means adjacent said other end and operative for exerting upon said other bearing a counter force acting in direction towards said one end and tending to shift said spindle counter to said axial forces;
- and transmitting means for transmitting said counter force to said one bearing for axially adjusting the same relative to said spindle in accordance with the shifting of said spindle.
