Abstract

In order to make an operation to press-fit a holder (21) of a sensor unit (20) into a fixed ring (11) of a rolling bearing (10) easier and to suppress deformations of the holder (21) and the fixed ring (11), several samples are extracted from holders (21) constituting one processed lot when press-forming the holders (21). The sizes in the radial direction of press-fit surfaces (25) of the samples are measured, and a representative size of the holders (21) is set for each lot on the basis of the measurement result. Then, a reference size and a dimensional tolerance of the size in the radial direction of a notch part (16) of the fixed ring (11) are set so that the tightening allowance between the notch part (16) and the press-fit surface (25) falls within a range which has been set in advance with respect to the representative size. Subsequently, notch parts (16) for one lot are processed.

Abstract

A roller fall-off prevention tool (1) is applied to a bearing (11) in a form in which a roller (13) falls on an inner diameter side of a cage (12). On the outer periphery of both end portions in an axial direction, a tapered portion (2) is formed, in which an incident angle with respect to the bearing (11) is less than 45°. The outer periphery of an intermediate portion in the axial direction is a straight portion (3) forming a cylindrical surface parallel to the axis. From both end surfaces in the axial direction, four or more slits (4) are alternately formed at equal intervals in a circumferential direction. When the tool is mounted on the bearing (11), the straight portion (3) is brought into contact with the roller (13) by being fitted into the inner side of the inscribed circle of the roller (13) from the small-diameter end of the tapered portion (2). When the tool is removed from the bearing (11), the shaft or the inner ring is abutted against a ridge (5) extending in the axial direction on the inner diameter surface.

Abstract

A first mathematical expression is prepared which enables a determination for a rolling bearing (10) comprising an inner ring (11), an outer ring (12), a plurality of rolling elements (13), and a lubricant (LQ). In accordance with a usage condition of the rolling bearing (10), it is determined whether the following first mathematical expression (1): F=f(α,β,γ,δ) satisfies the following second mathematical expression (2): F≤10. In parameter calculation for the lubricant (LQ), the lubricant (LQ) is divided into a first region and a second region. In a virtual electric circuit corresponding to the rolling bearing (10), a characteristic value of a virtual element assessed for the first region and the second region is determined.

Abstract

Provided is a ball bearing having a structure in which: a cage is less susceptible to expansion in diameter due to a load of centrifugal force during high-speed rotation; and more lubricating oil is allowed to flow from the back side of the cage toward the inner raceway member. A ball bearing 20 has a cage 24 having: an annular base part 30 positioned on one side in the axial direction of a ball 23; and multiple pairs of retaining claws 32 extending from the annular base part 30 toward the other side in the axial direction. A pocket 31 having a spherical recessed surface is formed in the opposite surfaces of each pair of the retaining claws 32 and in one axial end face of the annular base part 30 in order to house the ball 23 in such a manner as not to fall off in the axial and radial directions. In the ball bearing in which a back surface of the annular base part 30 on one side in the axial direction has an outer diameter corner 30a and an inner diameter corner 30b that are chamfered, the annular base part 30 has a larger chamfered part formed at the outer diameter corner 30a of the back surface than that formed at the inner diameter corner 30b.

Abstract

Provided is a clutch unit which prevents a locking mechanism from switching from an engagement state to an engagement-released state due to torque which is inputted from an output side of a drive shaft. This clutch unit 1 has: an output-side clutch 20 for restricting the torque-induced rotation of a drive shaft 2 around an axis P; an input-side clutch 10 which has an input-side first rotation member 11 to which torque is inputted by an operation lever 40, and an input-side second rotation member 13 for transmitting torque to the drive shaft 2, and is capable of switching between a connection state in which torque is transmitted by the operation lever 40 and a connection-released state in which torque is not transmitted; and a locking mechanism 50 configured so as to be capable of switching between an engagement state in which rotation of the drive shaft 2 is suppressed by the operation lever 40, and an engagement-released state in which rotation is not suppressed. The torque transmission mechanism input-side clutch 10 of the clutch unit 1 is in a connection-released state when positioned at the location at which the operation lever 40 switches the locking mechanism 50 to the engagement state.

This wheel bearing device(1) comprises: an outer ring (2); an inner member that has a hub ring (3) and inner rings (4A), (4B); and tapered rollers (5A), (5B) that are a plurality of rows of rolling bodies accommodated between the respective raceway surfaces of the inner member and an outer member so as to be capable of rolling. A crimped portion (3d) is provided to a protruding end of the hub ring (3). A stem portion (15) of an outer joint member (17) of a constant velocity universal joint (11) is inserted into the inner bore of the hub ring (3) and spline-fitted thereto. A flat surface (21) that abuts a shoulder portion (16) of the outer joint member (17) is provided to the crimped portion (3d) of the hub ring (3). The radial-direction outer surface (21a) of the flat surface (21) protrudes more to the shoulder portion (16) side of the outer joint member (17) in the axial direction than the radial-direction inner surface (21b) thereof.

Abstract

Provided is a tapered roller bearing with which it is possible to remove a connecting member such as a wire after bearing installation, even if an inner ring assembly is integrated by the connecting member, and which can achieve roller guidance. This tapered roller bearing (1) comprises a detachable fall-out prevention member (32) that prevents radially-outward falling out of a tapered roller (15) accommodated in a pocket (16) having a first guide pawl extending to the inner diameter side of a retainer segment (20). The fall-out prevention member (32) engages with an outer diameter surface and a large-diameter side surface of a large-diameter side arc-shaped part (22) of the retainer segment (20). The retainer segment (20) and the fall-out prevention member (32) are connected by a connecting member (25).

Abstract

The objective of the present invention is to make it possible to avoid contraction of an inner diameter surface of an inner race of a rolling bearing even if a magnetic ring of a magnetic rotation sensor is coupled to an outer circumferential portion of the inner race, and to improve the reusability of the magnetic ring when replacing the inner race, while enabling the outer circumferential portion of the inner race to be coupled to the magnetic ring even if the width of the inner race is small. In order to achieve this objective, a hook member (20) formed in an annular shape using a resin is provided. An outer circumferential groove (12a) extending in a circumferential direction is formed in an outer circumferential portion (12) of an inner race (3). The hook member (20) includes a protruding portion (25) that is engaged with the outer circumferential groove (12a) of the inner race (3). A metal core (18) is retained by the hook member (20).

Abstract

A power supply device (17) comprises a first circuit (61) and a converter (53). The first circuit (61) converts alternating-current voltage to a first direct-current voltage and outputs the first direct-current voltage. The converter (53) outputs a second direct-current voltage produced by adjusting the first direct-current voltage to a first voltage range to an electronic circuit (54). The input voltage of the converter (53) is set to a second voltage range. The first circuit (61) converts the alternating-current voltage to a first direct-current voltage adjusted to the second voltage range.
