Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to an assembly device for cylindrical roller bearings based on an integral cage. Background Technology

[0002] Cylindrical roller bearings are a common type of bearing, known for their high load capacity. A cylindrical roller bearing consists of an inner ring, an outer ring, rollers, and a cage. During assembly, the cage and outer ring are typically positioned first, and then the rollers are pressed into the cage pockets one by one. Finally, they are fitted to the inner ring for use.

[0003] Cylindrical roller bearings typically use brass or plastic-coated steel cages. The main assembly process involves combining the bearing rollers with the cage. There are generally two assembly methods: separate riveted and welded assembly and integral cage with locking lugs. The separate assembly involves placing the roller into one half of the cage, then closing the other half, with the two halves welded together using anchor bolts. The integral assembly refers to a single, integrated cage. To prevent the rollers from falling out, the cage has locking lugs in its pockets, requiring external force to press the rollers into the cage pockets. Separate assemblies are generally used for small cylindrical roller bearings. Larger cylindrical roller bearings more often use integral cage assemblies. However, the larger the bearing, the more difficult the roller installation becomes. The rollers need to be pressed into the cage's locking lugs with considerable force, making bearing assembly very cumbersome. Furthermore, the inability to control the pressing force leads to many quality problems such as impacts. Utility Model Content
