Abstract
A bearing unit for linearly moving selector shafts in a toothed-wheel gearbox with rows of beating balls in a cage rolling on the one hand on an inner surface of a sleeve permanently fitted to the gearbox housing and on the other hand on the gear change shaft. The sleeve has a flange at one end by which the sleeve can be secured to a gearbox housing in such a way that it extends freely into the gearbox housing over its entire length.
Claims11
A bearing assembly arrangement for sliding selector shafts in a transmission casing (16) of a sliding multi-gear transmission comprising a rolling bearing (5) having rows of bearing balls arranged in a cage (6) for rolling at least indirectly on a selector shaft and on an inner peripheral surface of a bushing (3) which is rigidly connected to the transmission casing (16), characterized in that on one end of the bushing (3, 3a, 3b), there is arranged a flange (4, 4a, 4b) by which the bushing (3, 3a, 3b) is fixed in or on the transmission casing (16) so that an entire, or almost entire length of the bushing (3, 3a, 3b) extends freely, and an end stop for the rolling bearing (5) is integrally formed on an end of the bushing (3, 3a, 3b) remote from the flange (4, 4a, 4b).
