Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of bearing assembly equipment, in particular to a retainer installation device for a deep groove ball bearing. Background Art

[0002] During the assembly of deep groove ball bearings, specifically during the assembly of the cage, it is necessary to first use an equalizer to evenly distribute the steel balls, and then press the cage between the inner and outer rings. A cage is suitable for single-row and double-row deep groove ball bearings, and its structure is as follows Figure 6 As shown, the retainer P2 is formed with a limiting cavity P2-a for accommodating and limiting the steel ball, and the side walls adjacent to the two limiting cavities are provided with a deformation cavity P2-b. When the steel ball is embedded in the limiting cavity P2-a, the deformation cavity P2-b provides deformation space for the side wall. When the retainer is manually installed, since it is impossible to ensure that the side walls of each limiting cavity are in contact with the steel ball at the same time, the steel ball will be displaced, affecting the assembly efficiency. At the same time, the side walls of the limiting cavity are subjected to inconsistent forces and excessive deformation will occur, affecting the quality of the bearing.
