Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of centering roller bearing cages, and particularly relates to a centering roller bearing cage. Background Art

[0002] The centering roller bearing has double-row rollers, with 1 common spherical raceway on the outer ring and 2 raceways on the inner ring which are inclined at an angle relative to the bearing axis. This ingenious structure endows it with self-aligning performance, so it is not easily affected by the angular error of the shaft and the bearing housing seat or the shaft bending. It is suitable for the occasions where installation error or shaft deflection causes angular error. This bearing can bear not only radial loads but also axial loads acting in both directions, and the cage is a frame structure for limiting the double-row rollers.

A cavity is opened inside the support ring body, and an annular plate is slidably connected inside the cavity. A plurality of second retainers are fixedly connected to both the upper and lower surfaces of the annular plate, and the positions of each second retainer correspond to those of each first retainer respectively. For this centering roller bearing cage, by setting screws, an annular plate and second retainers, first, the screws are screwed out of the threaded grooves. At this time, the annular plate is rotated by the screws, so that the gap between the second retainers and the first retainers is increased, which is convenient for the assembly operation of the rollers. However, when assembling the rollers with the above cage, after the rollers are arranged in the retainers, it is necessary to manually or use other equipment to push the second retainers against the first retainers, and the first retainers and the second retainers cannot clamp the rollers immediately, which easily causes errors in the fixed position of the second retainers and affects the stability of the rollers.
