Abstract

Abstract Novel recirculating rolling bearings for the longitudinally moveable mounting of an element with a linear surface comprising a bearing body having two opposite straight race sections limited by lateral flanges connected by two curved end deflecting sections connecting the ends of the straight sections to form a closed raceway and rolling bodies in said closed raceway rotating about an axis, the bearing body having a cylindrical outer contour and is insertable into a corresponding cylindrical bore of a housing which bore is open toward the element to be supported in the area of one straight race section opposite said element, the common axis of the bearing body and the housing bore having a slight inclination relative to the straight race section opposite the element to be supported.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim 127 words
A recirculating rolling bearing for the longitudinally moveable mounting of an element with a linear surface comprising a bearing body having two opposite straight race sections limited by lateral flanges connected by two curved end deflecting sections connecting the ends of the straight sections to form a closed raceway and rolling bodies in said closed raceway rotating about an axis, the bearing body having a cylindrical outer contour and is insertable into a corresponding cylindrical bore of a housing which bore is open toward the element to be supported in the area of one straight race section opposite said element, the common axis of the bearing body and the housing bore having a slight inclination relative to the straight race section opposite the element to be supported.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 127 words
A recirculating rolling bearing for the longitudinally moveable mounting of an element with a linear surface comprising a bearing body having two opposite straight race sections limited by lateral flanges connected by two curved end deflecting sections connecting the ends of the straight sections to form a closed raceway and rolling bodies in said closed raceway rotating about an axis, the bearing body having a cylindrical outer contour and is insertable into a corresponding cylindrical bore of a housing which bore is open toward the element to be supported in the area of one straight race section opposite said element, the common axis of the bearing body and the housing bore having a slight inclination relative to the straight race section opposite the element to be supported.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 12 words
A bearing of claim 1 wherein the inclination is less than 1:12.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 17 words
A bearing of claim 1 provided with means for longitudinal displacement and fixation in the housing bore.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 17 words
A bearing of claim 2 provided with means for longitudinal displacement and fixation in the housing bore.
