Abstract
A mounting for an input or output shaft (1) in a gear casing (2), particularly for a pinion shaft in a passenger-car rear-axle gear casing (2), comprises a bearing unit containing two rows of rolling bodies, two inner rings (5 and 6), and a common outer ring (8) supported radially in a casing bore (9), there being a radial attachment flange (10) formed on the outer ring (8) and fixed to a transverse support surface (12) of the gear casing, (2) which flange (10) alone locates the outer ring (8) axially in relation to the gear casing (2). <IMAGE>
Description
SPECIFICATION
A mounting for an input or output shaft in a gear casing
This invention relates to a mounting for an input or output shaft in a gear casing, particularly but not exclusively for a pinion shaft in a passenger-car rear-axle gear casing, the mounting having a bearing unit containing two rows of rolling bodies and comprising two inner rings and a common outer ring supported radially in a casing bore.
In one such mounting, disclosed in German
Published Application DE-OS 26,07,213, a radial flange on the outer ring is constructed as a supporting flange. At the end remote from the supporting radial flange the outer ring has an external screw-thread for a threaded ring screwed onto the external screwthread. In order to locate the bearing unit axially,-the casing wall adjoining the outer-ring casing bore is clamped between the supporting flange and the screwed ring with interposed washers.
This type of construction is comparatively expensive and suffers from an additional drawback as a result of materials of different thermal expansion being used for the bearing and the gear casing. This may cause the bearing unit to be shifted slightly out of its correct precise location, or it may cause impermissibly high stresses to arise in the pressed-together components.
The invention aims to create a mounting of the construction set out in the opening paragraph of this Specification which does not suffer so greatly from these drawbacks. Using comparatively simple means, it keeps the bearing unit located reliably and accurately in the gear casing even with bearing and gear casing materials whose thermal expansions differ considerably.
Accordingly, the present invention is directed to a mounting in which a radial attachment flange is formed on the outer ring and is fixed to a transverse support surface of the gear casing and in which the radial flange alone locates the outer ring axially in relation to the gear casing.
As a result of such a construction, the outer ring can expand or shrink in the bearing bore without hindrance in the event that considerable thermal fluctuations arise, which would cause the gear casing, for instance one made of light-metal alloy, and the outer ring of the bearing unit to shrink or expand differentially.
If the outer ring has no external screwthread, the overall bearing unit is shortened and, by comparison, cheaper to produce. Only one endface adjoining the bore needs to be machined. To strengthen the bore wall in light-metal gear casings, the bore can, for example, be processed with appropriate tools over its entire length without graduated bearing seats and the like forming an obstruction.
An example of a mounting in accordance with the present invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawing, which shows an axial, part-sectional view of a rear-axle gear assembly of a passenger car in the region of the input pinion.
A bearing unit comprises a combined inclined ball-bearing 3 and a tapered roller-bearing 4. The
unit serves for mounting the pinion shaft 1. It has
a common outer ring 8, and separate inner rings 5 and 6 of the unit are mutually axially tensioned
via an intermediate ring 7. The outer ring 8 is supported radially in a casing bore 9 of a gear
casing 2 and is formed with a radial attachment
flange 10. The latter is supported on a transverse
surface 12 of the gear casing 2 with an
appropriate washer 11 interposed between the surface 1 2 and the flange 10, and bolts 14 extending through axial bores 1 3 into screwthreaded holes in the case 2 to secure the ring 8.
The ring 8 of the bearing unit is located solely by this attachment of the flange 10 in the gear casing 2. This allows for differential thermal expansions, because the ring 8 is located axially
with respect to the gear casing 2 in only one place.
Instead of attachment by means of bolts 14, it would be possible to effect this by the provision of
a screwthread on the attachment flange 10
cooperating with a corresponding screwthread in the casing 2.
Preferably, the attachment flange 10 is
provided on the end of the outer ring 8 facing a
spur gear in the form of a drive pinion 1 5. Small
thermal axial movements of the bearing unit then
have less effect on the precise spacing between
the drive pinion and the axis of the associated
crown-wheel essential for satisfactory tooth
meshing. Oil for the bearing unit is supplied
through bqres 16 and 17 in a neck 18 of the gear
casing 2 and through a bore 1 9 in the outer ring 8.
1. A mounting for an input or output shaft in a gear casing, particularly but not exclusively for a
pinion shaft in a passenger-car rear-axle gear casing, the mounting having a bearing unit containing two rows of rolling bodies and comprising two inner rings and a common outer ring supported radially in a casing bore, in which a radial attachment flange is formed on the outer ring and is fixed to a transverse support surface of the gear casing and in which the radial flange alone locates the outer ring axially in relation to the gear casing.
2. A mounting according to ciaim 1, wherein the attachment flange is formed with axially
extending bores for attachment bolts.
3. A mounting according to claim 1 for a
**WARNING** end of DESC field may overlap start of CLMS **.
