AI Technical Summary
The friction torque of existing needle roller bearings is too high when they are matched with negative play, which is prone to swing and abnormal noise, which affects the stability and service life of the structure.
A special-shaped stamped outer ring needle roller bearing is designed. By forming contact protrusions on the outer ring and connecting them through a smooth curved surface, combining the fractures and chamfers on the cage, the three lines of the bearing and the shaft are contacted to reduce the friction torque.
The bearing is stable pre-tightened in the negative clearance state, avoiding swings and abnormal noises, reducing the operating friction torque, and improving the stability of the structure and reliability of use.
