Abstract
Description
- The invention concerns a universal stripper for the inner ring of cylindrical ball bearings.
- It is known to those skilled in the art, that the removal of the inner ring of a ball bearing from the hub on which it is mounted is a difficult and toilsome operation. In fact, on the market there are no specific tools to be employed for such purpose, so that usually the operation is performed with the largest variety of improvised tools or, at best, by using the regular ball-bearing strippers.
- However, the use of the regular ball-bearing strippers for removing the inner rings of the ball-bearings from the hubs on which they are mounted, presents some inconveniences.
- The main inconvenience is represented by the fact that, if the inner ring of the ball-bearing is mounted against a vertical shoulder surface, such as a flange or a spacing ring for instance, the removal of the ball-bearing ring becomes extremely toilsome. In fact, it becomes very difficult to insert the terminal part of the jaws of the stripper between the vertical shoulder surface and the ball-bearing ring, in order to exert on the latter the axial force necessary for the removal.
- In order to avoid this inconvenience, the jaws of the stripper are usually clamped in the sliding track of the balls belonging to the ring that needs to be removed, thus obtaining, as a rule. a better interference.
- However, even this solution presents some inconveniences, due to the fact that because of the rather large dimensions of the terminal part of the stripper jaws and of the semi-round profile of the ball sliding track of the ring to be removed, it is impossible to obtain a sufficient grip between the stripper and the ring, which is necessary, in order to exert the secure and abrupt axial force insuring the removal. This inconvenience becomes more pronounced particularly when the rings to be removed are inner ball-bearing rings having rather reduced dimensions.
- Another inconvenience is represented by the fact that ball-bearing strippers are usually tools of large bulk and they create, therefore, transportation problems and handling difficulties while in use.
- Moreover, the stripper jaws are held in reciprocal tension by springs which can easily break, thereby causing further complications in the use of the stripper.
- The purpose of the present invention is to eliminated the above-mentioned inconveniences.
- The main purpose of the invention is to make known a universal stripper for the inner rings of cylindrical ball bearings allowing the easy removal of said inner rings from the hubs on which they are mounted, even in those cases wherein said inner rings are supported against vertical shoulder surfaces.
- Another purpose of the invention is to make known a universal stripper for the inner rings of ball bearings which is easy to manufacture and to use, has a light weight and small dimensions. Not the least purpose of the invention is to make known a universal stripper for the inner rings of ball-bearings whose operation offers the highest reliability.
- The above-mentioned purposes and others which will be better understood hereafter are reached by realizing a universal stripper for the inner rings of cylindrical ball bearings which, in accordance with the patent claims, comprises a stripper body which is clamped on the inner ring to be removed and a reaction element which exerts the axial force on the hub and transmits it to the stripper body, and which is characterized in that the stripper body comprises:
- a metal structure having essentially a tubolar shape presenting at one end a stripper head which has an inner ring-shaped surface with several diameters, such as to allow said stripper head to rest against the vertical wall of the ring to be removed, said ring-shaped surface presenting a plurality of radial threaded holes, equally distributed along the circumference and holding screws whose tips clamp in the sliding track of the ring and at the other end a bottom with a hole and a thread wherein a screw having its axis coinciding with the axis of the hub is screwed; said screw exerting the axial thrust which is necessary for the removal of the inner ring of the ball bearing which is mounted on said hub. The invention makes available a tool which has the advantages of being specific for the removal of the inner rings of cylindrical ball bearings, of being inexpensive, light in weight, easy to handle and, above all, reliable in its operation. - Moreover, this tool is universal because of a plurality of stripper heads, each with a different internal diameter so as to fit inner rings of cylindrical ball bearings with corresponding diameters.
- Further scope of applicability of the present invention will become apparent from the detailed description given hereinafter. However, it should be understood that the detailed description and specific example, while indicating a preferred embodiment of the invention, are given by way of illustration only, since various changes and modifications within the spirit and scope of the invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art from this detailed description and from the drawings wherein:
- - Fig. 1 represents a longitudinal cross-section of the universal stripper according to the invention at the beginning of the operation for the removal of the ring;
- - Fig. 2 represents the stripper of Fig. 1 during the removal of the ring;
- - Fig. 3 represents a cross-section of the tubular-shaped metal structure of the stripper head;
- - Fig. 4 represents one of the ring-clamping screws of the stripper head.
- As can be observed in Fig. 1, the stripper according to the invention, which is indicated as a whole with 1, comprises a
metal structure 2 having a tubular shape, which presents at one of its ends thestripper head 3 and at its other end thethrusting screw 4 which matches thefixed bottom 5 of themetal structure 2. - The
stripper head 3 consists of around flange 6 having aninner thread 7, through which it matches themetal structure 2, while at the opposite end it presents, as can be observed in Fig. 3, a plurality of threaded through-holes 8, arranged radially, preferably at 60 degrees from one another, which are suited to receive each ascrew 9 which will be clamped on the ring to be removed. Thescrews 9 are tightened in theholes 8 offlange 6 and they are those elements, which, when, properly maneuvered, makeflange 6 integral with the ring which needs to be removed fromhub 11 on which it is mounted. Moreover, thescrews 9 do not protrude beyond thevertical profile 40 offlange 6, so as to allow the removal ofring 10, even when the latter is pressed against a vertical shoulder. - In order to remove
ring 10 fromhub 11, the following steps will be undertaken. - First of all
flange 6 will be slid over thering 10 which is to be removed; the flange and the ring will then be made integral by tightening theclamping screws 9. - As can be observed in Fig. 4, the tip of each
screw 9 is tapered following aprofile 12, at the apex of which aball 13 is inserted; the task of saidball 13 is to insure the centering of eachscrew 9 in thesliding track 14 of the bearing balls belonging toring 10 and, as a consequence, also the centering offlange 6. - After
flange 6 has been made integral withring 10 by tightening thescrews 9 withintrack 14 of the ring,structure 2 will be matched withflange 6. To thispurpose structure 2 is complete with athread 15 which matches theinner thread 7 offlange 6;structure 2 is screwed withinflange 6 until thethrusting screw 4 pushes with its tip againsthub 11 on which apressing disc 16, has been set. As can be observed in Fig. 1.tip 17 of thethrusting screw 4 also presents ataper 18 at the apex of which aball 19 is inserted.Ball 19 has the task of insuring the co- axiality of the direction of thrust ofscrew 4 in relation to theaxis 20 ofhub 11. More specifically, in order to insure said co-axiality betweenhub 11 and the tip-ball 19 ofscrew 4, thepressing disc 16 is inserted; this disc has in its center aseat 21 within whichball 19 will rest, thereby insuring the co-axiality between the direction of thrust andaxis 20 ofhub 11. - Now the
stripper 1 is ready to perform the removal of ring fromhub 11, which occurs by screwing thethrusting screw 4 by acting onhexagon 22. - The removal of
ring 10 occurs because the screwing ofscrew 4 creates a thrust alongaxis 20 ofhub 11 in thedirection 23; said thrust consequently causes onstructure 2 as a reaction a traction force along the same axis in thedirection 24. Said traction force ofstructure 2 is trasmitted throughflange 6 to theinner ring 10 which is to be removed. The removal is completed when, by continuing the screwing action of thethrusting screw 4, theinner ring 10 has reached its final position and is level with thepressing disc 16, which also has the task of supporting theinner ring 10, when the latter begings to come offhub 1. - On the basis of what has been described, it can be understood that the the stripper according to the invention reaches all the proposed purposes.
- First of all it has been seen that the presence of the
screws 9, complete with the tip-ball 13 permits an extremely stable contact betweenflange 6 and theinner ring 10 which is to be removed, thereby preventing the two parts from coming apart during the removal operation. - It has also been seen that the shape of
flange 6 and the position of thescrews 9 are such as to allow the removal ofring 10, even when the latter is pressed against vertical shulder surfaces. - It can also be observed that thanks to the small dimensions of
flange 6 and of structure 2 a universal stripper having an extremely small bulk and being very easy to handle, has been obtained. - Moreover, it can be observed that the lack of springs, of joints and similar makes the stripper according to the invention highly reliable.
- It has also been observed that, since a plurality of stripper heads, each having a different inner diameter, is available, it is possible to remove inner rings of cylindrical ball bearings of different diameters
- The stripper according to the invention is particularly suited for the removal of the inner rings of cylindrical ball bearings which are mounted on the wheel-hubs of automative vehicles and cars in particular. It is however understood that the stripper according to the invention can advantageously be used also in industrial applications of various types, such as, for instance, for the removal of the inner rings of cylindrical ball bearings mounted on the shafts of electric motors, of turbines and similar.
- Moreover, by varying the profile of the stripper head, it can also be used to an advantage for the removal of various mechanical elements. During the manufacturing stage the stripper according to the invention may undergo changes and modifications having the purpose of improving its performance or of increasing its versatily of application; said changes and modifications will, however, not exceed the scope of the present invention.
