Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bearing assembly technology, specifically to a steel ball assembly device for bearings. Background Technology
[0002] A rolling bearing is a precision mechanical component that transforms the sliding friction between a rotating shaft and its housing into rolling friction, thereby reducing frictional losses. A rolling bearing generally consists of four parts: an inner ring, an outer ring, rolling elements, and a cage. The inner ring mates with the shaft and rotates with it; the outer ring mates with the bearing housing and provides support; the rolling elements are evenly distributed between the inner and outer rings by the cage, and their shape, size, and number directly affect the performance and lifespan of the rolling bearing; the cage ensures the even distribution of the rolling elements, guides their rotation, and provides lubrication.
[0003] Most existing bearings are assembled manually by workers, who pick up the outer ring, pour in steel balls, and then assemble them with the inner ring and cage. This process is inefficient, labor-intensive, and slow.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to design a ball bearing assembly device that is practical and automatically assembled. Utility Model Content

The pulley 2 drives the belt 3 to drive the shift plate 4 to move left and right on the base 1. At the same time, the pusher 5's telescopic push rod drives the balance plate 6 to move back and forth, thereby providing left and right and back and forth displacement movement for the subsequent clamping components, which is convenient and quick.

The second gripper 8 can drive the second gripper 10 to achieve a small vertical displacement. With the help of the belt 3 and the pusher 5, the first gripper 7 clamps the left component and sends it to the assembly table 11.
