Abstract

The invention relates to a bearing assembly cover for placement over a shaft mounted bearing assembly. The bearing assembly cover comprises a flanged base configured for attachment to a bearing case of the bearing assembly and a hollow frusto-conical portion extending outwardly from the flanged base, and narrowing from the base, to an open end wherein the open end extends about the shaft.

Description

technical field [0001] The subject invention relates to drive systems for motor vehicles, and more particularly to bearing caps for drive system bearing assemblies that thermally protect the bearings while protecting the bearings from contamination and splash. Background technique [0002] Vehicle drive systems typically utilize a rotatable shaft supported by a lubricated bearing assembly that requires a relatively clean and sealed environment to remain robust. The durability of bearing assemblies is compromised by high temperatures, which can degrade lubrication. Bearing seals, which maintain lubrication in bearing assemblies and keep out dirt, contaminants and moisture, can be damaged by high temperatures. Likewise, moisture and corrosives such as road salt can affect the durability of bearing assemblies. One solution to the above durability challenges is to significantly increase the protection of the bearing assembly through the addition of stationary seals, flingers a...
