Abstract
A radial bearing with an outer race ring or bush arranged between the bearing in a housing bore having an integrally formed portion which is bent at a certain angle to a bearing axis and merges into a portion extending coaxially with the outer race ring so that a structural unit open in an axial direction and having spring elastic properties is formed that can be economically manufactured and used in a wide variety of areas.
Claims5
A radial bearing with an outer race ring (1) having an integrally formed portion (3) bent at an angle of 90.degree. to a bearing axis to bridge a radial design space, said portion (3) merging into a portion (4) extending coaxially with the outer race ring (1) so that a structural unit open in one axial direction is formed, a flange (2) pointing towards the center of the bearing being arranged on one end of the outer race ring (1), characterized in that the integrally formed portion (3) comprises punched regions (9) each forming an opening in said integrally formed portion, said punched regions are uniformly spaced over a periphery thereof and inwardly bent towards the center of the bearing to form retaining lugs (8) for retaining rolling elements (6) or a cage (7).
