Abstract

Abstract A roller carriage for larger bearings having a plurality of rollers each of which is provided with recesses in both end areas, and a cage comprising two cage-ring sections which are provided with boreholes, the cage-ring sections being connected with spacer bolts, pins are inserted into the boreholes of the cage-ring sections with the pins extending into the recesses of the rollers. The portion of the pin which extends into the recess of the roller is provided with a convex projection being concentric with the pin serving for axial guidance of the roller, while the radial guidance is provided by the contact between the cylindrical surface of the pin and the borehole inner cylindrical surface of the recess.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim 221 words
A roller carriage for larger bearings comprising a number of rollers having end portions and having recesses each with an inner cylindrical surface portion, said recesses being on the end portions of each roller, a cage which comprises two cage-ring sections which are provided with boreholes, spacer bolts connecting said cage-ring sections with one another, and pins inserted into the boreholes of the cage-ring sections, said pins inserted into the boreholes of the cage-ring sections, said pins extending into the recesses of the rollers, the portion of each one of said pins which extends into one of the recesses of one of the rollers has a frontal portion which faces the roller and a cylindrical surface with a radius and is provided with a convex projection which is concentric to said one pin; said projection has a radius and serves for axial guidance of said roller, while radial guidance of said roller is made between the cylindrical surface of said one pin and the inner cylindrical surface portion of said one recess of said one rollers, each of said recesses of the rollers comprises a cylindrical pocket borehole which is provided with a spherical depression concentric to the roller axis in which said convex projection rests and said radius of said projection is less than the radius of said cylindrical surface.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 221 words
A roller carriage for larger bearings comprising a number of rollers having end portions and having recesses each with an inner cylindrical surface portion, said recesses being on the end portions of each roller, a cage which comprises two cage-ring sections which are provided with boreholes, spacer bolts connecting said cage-ring sections with one another, and pins inserted into the boreholes of the cage-ring sections, said pins inserted into the boreholes of the cage-ring sections, said pins extending into the recesses of the rollers, the portion of each one of said pins which extends into one of the recesses of one of the rollers has a frontal portion which faces the roller and a cylindrical surface with a radius and is provided with a convex projection which is concentric to said one pin; said projection has a radius and serves for axial guidance of said roller, while radial guidance of said roller is made between the cylindrical surface of said one pin and the inner cylindrical surface portion of said one recess of said one rollers, each of said recesses of the rollers comprises a cylindrical pocket borehole which is provided with a spherical depression concentric to the roller axis in which said convex projection rests and said radius of said projection is less than the radius of said cylindrical surface.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 43 words
The roller carriage according to claim 1, wherein said convex projection has a spherical radius, said depression has a spherical radius and the radius of the projection is approximately 1/10 of the spherical radius of the depression in said recess of said roller.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 17 words
The roller carriage according to claim 2 wherein the pins are manufactured of a wear-resistant synthetic material.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 17 words
The roller carriage according to claim 1 wherein the pins are manufactured of a wear-resistant synthetic material.
