Device for retaining lubricant in rolling bearing, rolling bearing assembly and method for assembling rolling bearing assembly

Abstract

The invention relates to a device (1) for retaining lubricant in a rolling bearing, comprising an annular or substantially annular retaining element (2). The holding element can be arranged on a rolling bearing assembly (3), which has: a bearing ring (6), which is designed as an outer ring (4) or an inner ring (5); and a rolling element set (7), It is arranged on the bearing ring such that a lubricant receptacle (8) of the device is delimited on at least two sides by the retaining element and the bearing ring of the rolling bearing assembly.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a device for retaining lubricant in a rolling bearing, in particular a radial rolling bearing, a rolling bearing subassembly, in particular a radial rolling bearing subassembly, comprising the device, and a method for assembling the rolling bearing subassembly. Background technique [0002] Radial and axial rolling bearings are used for the rotatable support of two bodies relative to each other. A rolling bearing comprises at least two bearing rings which can be arranged on each object to be supported and which can rotate relative to each other about a common axis. In order for the bearing rings to slide relative to each other as frictionlessly as possible, rolling bodies are arranged between the bearing rings, which roll or roll on the raceway surfaces of the bearing rings. In a radial rolling bearing, a bearing ring whose inner surface is set on an object to be supported is called an inner ring, and a bearing ring whose oute...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

For multi-row rolling (body) bearings by horizontal transport often occurs problems, due to the influence of gravity and / or temperature and / or vibration, the bearing grease from one rolling element row to another rolling element row

Especially during the running-in phase of rolling bearings, this grease displacement can lead to complications such as increased friction, temperature peaks, increased internal bearing pressure and / or grease escape
