AI Technical Summary
Existing universal joint bearing pin mounting mechanisms are prone to causing indentations on the needle roller surface due to excessive clamping force during installation, affecting service life and reliability.
The gripping device combines a silicone pressure plate and air pressure difference. The high elasticity of the silicone pressure plate and the suction generated by the air pressure difference fix the needle rollers, avoiding indentations when in direct contact. At the same time, the buffer connection and anti-slip inner sleeve absorb excessive pressure, ensuring a smooth surface for the needle rollers.
It effectively prevents premature wear on the needle roller surface, improves the service life and reliability of universal joint bearings, and ensures assembly accuracy and smoothness.
