Abstract
A circular groove present on a journal on its end is utilized to provide a bayonet coupling on the journal without mechanical refinishing work to fix or clamp a ring piece axially on the journal. The clamped supporting elements of the bayonet coupling are formed as a divided supporting ring whose collar engages in the circular groove and is rigidly nonrotatably held in it. The circumferentially divided supporting surfaces of the supporting ring are assembled by attaching members correspond in the locked configuration with the interiorly directed circumferentially divided abutting surfaces of the clamped ring piece which form the rotatable portion of the bayonet coupling.
Claims6
In a shaft stub having a circular groove with a bayonet coupling for axially fixing a ring member on said shaft stub, particularly for fixing the inner cylinder of a hydraulic bearing extractor on said shaft stub, the improvement which comprises:
- a support ring provided with a plurality of alternating angularly equispaced openings and supporting surfaces is formed by two supporting ring halves secured together by a plurality of fastening elements, said ring halves having inner collar halves which engage in said circular groove provided in said shaft stub;
- and
- means for fixing at least one of said ring halves nonrotatably to said shaft stub;
- and
- wherein said ring member is provided with a plurality of alternating angularly equispaced passages and abutting surfaces respectively interfittable with said opening and said supporting surfaces to form a rotatable portion of said bayonet coupling.
A shaft stub having a circular groove with a bayonet coupling for axially fixing a ring member on said shaft stub, particularly for fixing the inner cylinder of a hydraulic extractor for roller bearings on said shaft stub comprising:
- two supporting ring halves provided with a plurality of alternating circumferentially dividing openings and supporting surfaces attachable by a plurality of fastening elements, said two supporting ring halves having two inner collar halves which engage in said circular groove of said shaft stub so that at least one of said supporting ring halves is attached nonrotatably by being rotationally secured with said shaft stub and that said ring member provided with a plurality of alternating circumferentially dividing passages and abutting surfaces is the rotatable portion of said bayonet coupling;
- and
- at least one radial stop pin provided in the vicinity of said shaft stub associated with said ring member, said stop pin being associated with one of said passages in said rotatable part of said bayonet coupling so that the rotation angle of said rotatable portion of said bayonet coupling depending on the number of the provided corresponding ones of said passages and abutting surfaces is limited.
