Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to a multi-row roller bearing. Background Art
[0002] Multi-row roller bearings are usually large-diameter bearings, and are generally used in wind turbine main shafts, variable pitch systems, tunneling machines, etc. Since such bearings generally bear large overturning moments, axial forces, and radial forces, the bearings are generally provided with more than two rows of bidirectional axial rollers to bear overturning moments and radial forces, and more than one row of radial rollers to bear radial forces.
[0003] Generally, this type of bearing has a small axial clearance. However, under large axial forces and overturning moments, some axial rollers may not transmit loads. This will increase the vibration of the bearing during continuous rotation. When the bearing is subjected to overturning moments, a certain tilt angle will be generated between the bearing rings. The tilt angle will cause a large edge stress concentration on the radial rollers, leading to spalling failure and shortening the bearing life. Utility Model Content

[0006] The beneficial effect of such an arrangement is that the radial rollers and raceways are arranged as spherical surfaces so as to have certain self-aligning properties to reduce the influence of tilting. Through the spherical surface design, after the outer ring is tilted at a certain angle, the contact surface size between the inner ring raceway surface and the outer ring raceway surface remains basically unchanged, which effectively improves the bearing capacity of the inner ring raceway and the outer ring raceway under torque conditions. In addition, the structure is simple and has good use effect.
