Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of bearing retaining rings, in particular to an anti-deformation bearing retaining ring. Background Art
[0002] In mechanical equipment and transmission systems, bearing retaining rings play a vital role as key fixing and supporting components. Their primary function is to ensure the accurate positioning of the bearing on the shaft, preventing displacement due to axial or radial loads, thereby ensuring stable operation and long-term reliability of the equipment.
[0003] Traditional bearing retaining ring designs often adopt simple structural forms, such as flat retaining rings or retaining rings with a small number of fastening elements. While these designs provide basic fixing functions, they ignore the operational complexity and time cost during the disassembly and assembly process. Specifically, traditional retaining rings often require a lot of manpower or the use of professional tools for hammering, tightening and other operations during installation, which not only increases the difficulty of installation, but may also cause damage to the bearing or shaft due to improper operation. Similarly, during the disassembly process, due to the lack of an effective release mechanism, additional force or tools are often required to overcome the friction between the retaining ring and the bearing or shaft, which not only increases maintenance costs, but may also reduce the maintenance efficiency of the equipment.
