Definitions
- the invention relates to rolling bearings which are assembled by shrinking onto a shaft or a similar frame element. Furthermore, the invention relates to rolling bearings which require an increased operating temperature for low-wear and precise operation, which is not yet available during the start-up phase.
- the invention also relates to a method for assembling a rolling bearing.
- the shrink-on process is often used when installing rolling bearings. For example, if a rolling bearing is to be mounted on a shaft, it is first heated. Due to the thermal expansion, it then has a slightly larger inner diameter. In contrast, the shaft remains at room temperature or is cooled, if necessary, in order then to have a smaller outside diameter.
- the shaft and the roller bearing are dimensioned so that the roller bearing can only be pushed onto the shaft by slightly increasing the inner diameter.
- the roller bearing is conventionally heated with the aid of heating plates, welding torches, ovens, inductive heating devices or the like.
- the temperature of the roller bearing must be high enough after heating that the resulting increase in the inner diameter enables installation by sliding it open. However, the temperature must not become so high that the bearings are damaged or destroyed. Particular attention should be paid to any lubricant that may be introduced. If the rolling bearing has reached the assembly temperature, the assembly process must be carried out quickly since the rolling bearing cools down quickly after removal from the heat source and the inside diameter begins to decrease. If the rolling bearing has already cooled down during assembly on the shaft so that it can no longer be moved before the final position has been reached, the bearing is usually unusable. It can often only be detached from the shaft by damage or destruction. In some cases, the shaft is also unusable.
- the rolling bearing can be heated in complex devices by means of adjustable heating plates, in which the temperature can be preselected while maintaining small tolerance ranges. If, on the other hand, you use simple heating plates, ovens or welding torches, there is a risk of the rolling bearing being destroyed by too high a temperature or of unsuccessful assembly significantly increased due to low temperature. In all known methods for forming a shrink fit of rolling bearings, external devices for heating are always required, which is a long-standing disadvantage of this type of connection for rolling bearings.
- the invention is therefore based on the object of providing a rolling bearing, the rolling bearing ring of which can be shrunk on a shaft or a similar frame element can be heated to an assembly temperature without external devices and, if required, can also be kept at this temperature over a certain period of time.
- a subtask is seen in guaranteeing an optimal temperature during the later operation of the rolling bearing even in start-up phases, in particular to provide an additional heat supply to the bearing.
- An important aspect of the invention is the integration of an electrical heating element in or on the rolling bearing ring to be heated. In this respect, it is a lost heating element, since it is only available for heating a rolling bearing.
- An advantage of this invention is in particular that the risk of unsuccessful assembly is drastically reduced, since the heating does not have to be ended before the assembly is completed.
- the rolling bearing had to be removed for assembly from the external heating device, which causes the cooling to begin.
- an electrical heating element on the roller bearing ring permits heating initially to a predetermined, reproducible temperature and, if necessary, continued supply of heat until assembly is complete. Under certain conditions, the invention also makes it possible to dismantle rolling bearings in frictional engagement with the shaft without damage.
- the temperature gradient between the roller bearing and the frame element must be so large that the roller bearing can be heated by the integrated heating element to such an extent that it expands sufficiently and can be detached from the frame element.
- This high temperature gradient can be brought about by a low heat conduction between the roller bearing and the frame element or a high thermal output introduced at the roller bearing.
- the frame element can also be cooled.
- the heating element is designed as a thick-film heating resistor.
- thick-film heating resistors are inexpensive to manufacture, so that the costs for a rolling bearing according to the invention are not significantly increased.
- such a thick-film heating resistor can be designed in such a way that it also has a current-insulating effect or, as an additional function, it also provides current insulation on the roller bearing or the roller bearing.
- an originally provided current insulation can be substituted by this - in this case - multifunctional layer.
- a temperature display means for example a film thermometer, is preferably arranged on the heated roller bearing ring on the roller bearing. This shows when the rolling bearing ring has reached the required temperature so that assembly can take place without unnecessary waiting times.
- a temperature control unit in particular a fuse or a thermostat, is integrated in the heating element in the heating element, which cooperates with the heating element for temperature control and / or temperature control.
- the fuse preferably interrupts the circuit when a predetermined limit temperature is exceeded.
- the thermostat also preferably switches the energy supply to the heating element on or off when a predetermined limit temperature is exceeded and / or undershot.
- the rolling bearing can also be supplied with electrical energy during later operation. This makes it possible to guarantee an optimal temperature of the rolling bearing even in the start-up phases. This is necessary, for example, if the lubricants used have the required viscosity only at the operating temperature and / or the required play conditions in the rolling bearing only occur at the operating temperature.
- the heated roller bearing ring has grooves in which the heating element is arranged. The grooves increase the area for heat conduction between the heating element and the roller bearing ring, so that the roller bearing ring can be heated more quickly and efficiently. In addition, the heating element can thereby be made larger and more powerful.
- the thick-film heating resistor is located on the running surface of the heated roller bearing ring. This makes it possible, especially in the case of flat roller bearing rings, to provide a sufficiently large area for heat transfer to the roller bearing ring. The thick-film resistor should then be such that it can be used in subsequent operation without damaging the bearing is rubbed off by the movement of the rolling elements.
- FIG. 1 shows a side view of a rolling bearing with a thick-film heating resistor on the end face of the inner bearing ring.
- a roller bearing 01 is designed as a ball bearing, with an otherwise conventional structure comprising an inner bearing ring 02 and an outer bearing ring 03.
- Balls 04 which are guided in a cage 06, act as rolling elements.
- the parts of the cage 06 are connected to one another by means of rivets 07.
- a thick-film heating resistor 08 is printed on the end face of the inner roller bearing ring 02.
- Such thick-film resistors can in their geometric shape the respective Carrier can be largely adapted. This makes it possible to design the thick-film heating resistor in this embodiment as a circular ring, which represents an optimal shape for the heat transfer on the end face of the rolling bearing ring 02.
- the heating required for assembly takes place according to the invention with the aid of the thick-film heating resistor 08 by energizing it.
- No external devices such as hot plates or inductive heating devices are required to heat the rolling bearing. Therefore, such bearings can also be assembled by fitters or end customers who rarely carry out such installations and therefore do not have suitable facilities for heating the rolling bearing. All you need is a suitable power source that feeds the thick-film heating resistor 08.
- the thick-film heating resistor 08 can be designed in such a way that an ordinary socket of the power supply network or a car battery can serve as a power source.
- the thick-film heating resistor 08 has electrical contacts 09 at its ends. Lines 11 are connected to contacts 09 for the electrical connection of thick-film heating resistor 08. Direct printing of the thick-film heating resistor on the inner roller bearing ring made of steel provides good heat-conducting contact with the inner roller bearing ring 02. If a current flows through the lines through the thick-film heating resistor 08, the thick-film heating resistor first heats up and consequently also the inner roller bearing ring 02. As a result of the heating, the inner roller bearing ring expands, so that its inner diameter increases. As soon as the assembly temperature is reached, assembly can begin. In contrast to the known methods, assembly can take place without time pressure since the bearing continues to be heated. The roller bearing 01 can be carefully mounted on the intended shaft or another frame element.
- a time limitation is only given by the fact that after a long time that the roller bearing 01 remains at a position of the shaft, the shaft also heats up at this position.
- a thermostat 12 is integrated in the thick-film heating resistor 08. If the temperature of the inner roller bearing ring 02 exceeds a specified temperature, the circuit to the thick-film heating resistor is interrupted. This ensures that the inner roller bearing ring 02 does not become so hot that the roller bearing is damaged or destroyed.
- a temperature sensor can also be integrated in the thick-film heating resistor, which is connected to an integrated or external control of the current source of the thick-film heating resistor.
