Abstract
A coupling structure for bearing and bushing. The structure includes a ball bearing, a washer and an oil-retained bearing housed sequentially in a housing chamber of a bushing. The housing chamber has one end formed a lip opening for anchoring the bearings and the washer such that the bearings and the washer are allowed to attain precise positioning and concentricity, with reduced vibration, and prevent lubrication oil of the oil-retained bearing from flowing to the ball bearing to effectively minimize noise and vibration.
Claims6
A coupling structure for a bearing and bushing comprising:
- a bushing having a housing chamber;
- a ball bearing housed inside the housing chamber, the ball bearing containing a first lubricant;
- a washer positioned adjacent to the ball bearing inside the housing chamber;
- an oil-retained bearing containing a second lubricant, the oil-retained bearing positioned adjacent to the washer in the housing chamber, and the washer is positioned between the ball bearing and the oil-retained bearing;
- and
- the housing chamber having one end thereof comprising a lip opening adapted for anchoring the ball bearing and the washer such that the ball bearing and the oil-retained bearing and the washer are allowed to attain precise positioning and concentricity with respect to one another, and prevent the second lubrication oil contained in the oil-retained bearing from mixing with the first lubrication oil of the ball bearing, thereby minimizing noise and vibration during operation.

A coupling structure for a bearing and bushing comprising:
- a bushing having a housing chamber;
- a ball bearing having an outer diameter and housed inside the housing chamber, the ball bearing having a first through bore, the ball bearing containing a first lubricant;
- a washer having a second through bore, the washer positioned adjacent to the ball bearing inside the housing chamber;
- an oil-retained bearing having a third through bore, the oil-retained bearing containing a second lubricant and positioned adjacent to the washer in the housing chamber, and the washer is positioned between the ball bearing and the oil-retained bearing;
- and
- the housing chamber having one end thereof comprising a lip opening having a diameter smaller than the outer diameter of the ball bearing, the lip opening adapted for anchoring the ball bearing and the washer such that the ball bearing and the oil-retained bearing and the washer are allowed to attain precise positioning and concentricity with respect to the through bores thereof, and prevent the second lubrication oil contained in the oil-retained bearing from mixing with the first lubrication oil of the ball bearing, thereby minimizing noise and vibration during operation.
