Abstract
Abstract Antifriction bearing arrangement for a rotary machine part, especially of the rotor part of an electric motor having its outer winding fastened within the bearing housing, with a shaft mounted in a pair of antifriction bearings whose outer rings are located near the face of the rotary machine part. Said outer rings comprise outer raceways for rolling elements, while the inner raceway is formed directly on the surface of the shaft, the rotary machine part forming with the antifriction bearings an assembly unit whose diameter is less than or at most equal to the diameter of the outer rings of the antifriction bearings, the internal capacity of the bearings corresponding to the amount of grease which is sufficient to maintain lubrication of the bearings over their entire life.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 14
Claim 1
Independent Claim
138 words
In an antifriction bearing arrangement for a rotor, comprising a housing defining a hollow cylindrical space therein, a shaft extending coaxially through the cylindrical space, an outer winding centrally disposed within and fastened to the housing, a rotor supported centrally on the shaft in alignment with the outer winding, a pair of antifriction bearings disposed around the shaft and individually positioned adjacent opposite axial ends of the rotor, each bearing having an outer ring comprising an outer raceway, a pair of inner raceways individually defined on the shaft surface underlying the respective bearings, the outer diameter of the outer rings of the bearings being at least as large as the outer diameter of the rotor, the internal capacity of the bearings corresponding to the amount of grease which is sufficient to maintain bearing lubrication over their entire life.
