Abstract
A method for manufacturing a machine bearing comprising an elastic spring element made of rubber, in which the elastic spring element is affixed to a ring element made of an elastically deformable material is disclosed. The ring element is produced from a lamellar section of a sheet metal and, after being transformed into the shape of a cylinderical ring, is further transformed into the final shape of the ring element.
Claims9
A method for manufacturing a bearing comprising an elastic spring element made of rubber that is affixed to a ring element made of an elastically deformable material, comprising the steps of:
- bending a lamellar section of sheet metal into a cylindrical shape;
- and
- deforming the sheet metal into the shape of a ring element having a uniform thickness.
A method for manufacturing a metal ring element for use in a bearing, comprising the steps of:
- bending a lamellar section of sheet metal into a cylindrical shape;
- and
- deforming the sheet metal into a shape comprising a conical portion and a contiguous disk-like portion that is set at an angle with respect to the conical portion so that the ring element is of uniform thickness.
