Abstract
A supporting-disk bearing, particularly for the shaft of an open-end spinning rotor, the shaft (1) being mounted in a wedge-shaped gap formed by supporting disks (4, 5), and the supporting disks (4, 5) having a running surface (40,50) consisting of an elastic covering against which the shaft (1) is pressed. The running surface (40,50) has at least one interruption formed by a recess and bridged by the line of contact of the shaft (1). The recess can be designed in various ways, but it is preferably groove-shaped. The wear of the running surface is reduced as a result of this design.
Claims3
A supporting-disk bearing for use in an open-end spinning machine having
- a spinning rotor provided in said spinning machine,
- an elongated drive shaft extending outwardly from said spinning rotor,
- a pair of supporting disks disposed in said spinning machine to receive said drive shaft in rotational engagement therewith,
- said supporting disks arranged to form a wedge shape gap,
- said elongated drive shaft mounted in said wedge shaped gap with said shaft being pressed against a running surface on each of said disks, the improvement comprising:
- said running surface on said support disks including an elastic covering of predetermined thickness,
- said running surface is formed by covering ribs arranged at a distance from one another, and
- said ribs being bridged by the line of contact with said elongated drive shaft so as to enhance heat dissipation and consequently minimize heat build-up within each said elastic covering during high speed rotation of the rotor.
A supporting-disk bearing for use in an open-end spinning machine having
- a spinning rotor provided in said spinning machine,
- an elongated drive shaft extending outwardly from said spinning rotor,
- a pair of supporting disks disposed in said spinning machine to receive said drive shaft in rotational engagement therewith,
- said supporting disks arranged to form a wedge shape gap,
- said elongated drive shaft mounted in said wedge shaped gap with said shaft being pressed against a running surface on each of said disks, the improvement comprising:
- said running surface on said support disks including an elastic covering of predetermined thickness,
- said running surface is interrupted by bores arranged in a row behind one another, and
- said bores enhancing heat dissipation and consequently minimize heat build-up within each said elastic covering during high speed rotation of the rotor.

- said supporting disks arranged to form a wedge shape gap,
- said elongated drive shaft mounted in said wedge shaped gap with said shaft being pressed against a running surface on each of said disks, the improvement comprising:
- said running surface on said support disks including an elastic covering of predetermined thickness,
- a basic body of said supporting disk is provided with a web which extends into the vicinity of the running surface and which, together with the covering, forms a recess, and
- said recess being bridged by the line of contact with said elongated drive shaft so as to enhance heat dissipation and consequently minimize heat build-up within each said elastic covering during high speed rotation of the rotor.
