Abstract
In a mounting for disk spindles, an embodiment is provided in which, despite simple construction and simple assembly of the bearing, a high degree of precision is obtained. The angle ball bearings in O-arrangement have outer rings (4) the race (4') of which has, in longitudinal section, a radius the center point (7) of which lies on the axis of rotation (8) of the inner races (2).
Claims7
A mounting for a disk spindle, comprising a shaft, two axially spaced apart angular ball bearings on the shaft, means clamping the ball bearings axially apart on the shaft;
- each ball bearing comprising a row of bearing balls around the shaft, an inner race defined in the shaft for the balls in a row and an outer ring including an outer face around the row of balls;
- each outer race being shaped along a longitudinal section thereof to have a radius which lies approximately on the axis of rotation of the shaft and the outer races being free to tilt around the center point of the surface of the race under the influence of the clamping means.
