Abstract
In a bearing assembly including an annular member having a load carrying surface, the improvement comprising means defining a pocket in said annular member having a circumferentially extending generally radially directed wall and an axially extending surface projecting from said radial wall outwardly toward the end face of said annular member, said axially extending surface being inwardly tapered at a predetermined angle, a ring like insert having a peripherally extending surface defining a raceway and radial and axial surface portions complementing the radial and axial surface portions of said annular member, said axially extending surface portions of said member and insert being suitably dimensioned to provide an interference fit when assembled.
Claims6
A ring for a bearing assembly having generally parallel inner and outer faces, means defining a pocket in the surface between said faces for an insert having a load carrying surface defining a raceway, said pocket including a circumferentially extending first wall generally parallel to said faces and spaced therebetween, a second circumferentially extending frusto-conical wall which diverges inwardly from one face toward said first wall, an endless annular insert adapted to seat in said pocket having a frusto-conical surface portion confronting and complementing said second wall portion and dimensioned to provide an interference fit therewith.
An X-type bearing assembly comprising inner and outer rings, each of said rings having a pair of circumferentially extending raceways which are disposed at right angular relation to one another and which are arrayed so that one of the raceways of the inner ring confronts and is parallel to one of the raceways of the outer ring and the other raceway of the inner ring confronts and is parallel to the other raceway of said outer ring, a plurality of rollers in the annular space defined by the raceways, each of said rollers having a load carrying surface between its axial end face engaging the raceways, means defining a pocket in at least one of said rings, said pocket including a circumferentially extending, generally radially directed first wall located between the axial end faces of said one ring and a second circumferentially extending, axially directed frusto-conical second wall which diverges inwardly from one axial end face of said ring and an endless annular insert adapted to seat in said pocket including a frusto-conical surface portion confronting and complementing said second wall portion and dimensioned to provide an interference fit therewith.
