[0002] The traditional turntable bearing is a three-row roller combination bearing, which is composed of two thrust cylindrical roller bearings and a full-complement radial cylindrical roller bearing. The upper and lower rows of axial rollers of this bearing will produce a speed difference at both ends during the rotation process, which will cause the rollers to spin and form sliding friction, making the friction torque of the bearing too large, causing the temperature of the bearing to continue to rise during operation, causing the axial rollers and raceways to be burned and damaged, thereby affecting the normal use of the bearing. With the development of some high-precision rotating equipment such as radar, turntable bearings need to have the ability to have higher axial load and lower friction, and traditional turntable bearings can no longer meet the demand.

[0015] 1.

The pockets are generally wide in the middle and narrow at the top and bottom, corresponding to the shape of the steel ball or short cylindrical roller, which accurately limits the position of the rolling body and ensures the stability of the rolling body during movement. When the steel ball or short cylindrical roller is installed in the pocket, the split cage is positioned by the steel ball or short cylindrical roller, and the two parts of the cage are connected by rivets, avoiding unnecessary contact between the cage and the inner and outer rings, thereby reducing the friction resistance of the bearing during operation;

[0018] 4.

In order to more clearly understand the technical means of the present invention, it can be implemented in accordance with the contents of the specification. In order to make the above and other purposes, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the following specifically cites a preferred embodiment and describes it in detail with the accompanying drawings as follows.

A groove (a raceway in which the rolling body can roll) is provided at the corresponding positions of the lower surface of the upper end of the first inner ring 1 and the upper surface of the outer ring 5. A groove is also provided at the corresponding positions of the upper surface of the second inner ring 7 and the lower surface of the outer ring 5, the outer circumferential surface of the lower end of the first inner ring 1, and the inner circumferential surface of the outer ring 5, so that the rolling body can roll normally in the corresponding groove.
