Description
本発明は、深溝玉軸受やアンギュラ玉軸受等の玉軸受用保持器に関する。 The present invention relates to a ball bearing cage such as a deep groove ball bearing or an angular ball bearing.
深溝玉軸受やアンギュラ玉軸受等の玉軸受用保持器には、内外輪の軌道溝間に配列された複数のボールを、円筒状や円錐筒状の保持器の円周方向に間隔を開けて設けた円形のポケットに保持したものがある。通常、このような玉軸受用保持器の円形のポケットは、ボールの直径よりも少し大きく形成されている。 In ball bearing cages such as deep groove ball bearings and angular contact ball bearings, multiple balls arranged between the raceway grooves of the inner and outer rings are spaced apart in the circumferential direction of a cylindrical or conical cage. Some are held in a circular pocket. Usually, the circular pocket of such a ball bearing cage is formed to be slightly larger than the diameter of the ball.
このようにポケットの形状をボールの直径よりも大きい円形状とした保持器は、軸受の回転中にボールが転動方向で左右にずれると、ポケットの内周面の軸方向中心からずれた軸方向と傾斜した曲面に当接し、保持器に円周方向からずれた斜めの分力が作用する。このため、保持器が傾くように振動して騒音が発生したり、保持器が内輪や外輪の案内面で案内されるものでは、傾いた保持器が案内面と局部的に接触して焼き付いたりする問題があった。このような保持器の傾きは、軸受が高速で回転する工作機械の主軸を支持するアンギュラ玉軸受等で発生しやすい。 In this way, the cage whose pocket shape is circular larger than the diameter of the ball has an axis that deviates from the axial center of the inner peripheral surface of the pocket when the ball is displaced to the left or right in the rolling direction during rotation of the bearing. An inclined component force that is in contact with the curved surface inclined in the direction and deviated from the circumferential direction acts on the cage. For this reason, the cage vibrates as if it is tilted, and noise is generated, or when the cage is guided by the guide surface of the inner ring or outer ring, the tilted cage may be in contact with the guide surface and seize. There was a problem to do. Such inclination of the cage is likely to occur in an angular ball bearing or the like that supports the main shaft of a machine tool whose bearing rotates at a high speed.
このような問題に対して、ボールが転動方向で左右にずれても保持器に円周方向からずれた斜めの分力が作用しないように、保持器のポケットの形状を、直線または大きな曲率半径の弧で形成した各辺を直交させた四辺形とし、対向する2つの辺をボールの転動方向に対して直角に配した玉軸受用保持器が提案されている(例えば、特許文献1参照)。また、円形ポケットの間に、円形ポケットの径と同一の半円部とこの半円部に接続する軸方向の平行部をもった非円形ポケットを1個以上設けた玉軸受用保持器も提案されている(例えば、特許文献2参照)。 To avoid this problem, the cage pocket shape is straight or has a large curvature so that the diagonal component force that deviates from the circumferential direction does not act on the cage even if the ball is displaced to the left or right in the rolling direction. A ball bearing cage has been proposed in which each side formed by an arc of radius is a quadrangle in which the sides are orthogonal to each other and two opposing sides are arranged at right angles to the rolling direction of the ball (for example, Patent Document 1). reference). Also proposed is a ball bearing cage with one or more non-circular pockets between the circular pockets, each having a semicircular part that is the same diameter as the circular pocket and an axially parallel part connected to the semicircular part. (For example, refer to Patent Document 2).
特許文献1に記載された玉軸受用保持器のうち、ポケットの四辺形の各辺を直線で形成したものは、保持器の傾きの発生を確実に防止できるが、各辺が直角に交わるコーナ部に応力集中が発生しやすく、保持器が破損する恐れがある。コーナ部の応力集中を緩和するためには、コーナ部に隅肉部を形成すればよいが、応力集中を十分に緩和するために隅肉部を大きくすると、ボールとの隙間が少なくなって、保持器の内径側から外径側への潤滑剤の流れが悪くなり、特に、高速回転する軸受では潤滑不良が生じる問題がある。なお、ポケットの四辺形の各辺を弧で形成したものは、保持器の傾きの発生を確実に防止することはできない。
Among the ball bearing cages described in
また、特許文献2に記載された玉軸受用保持器は、非円形ポケットに収納されたボールからは円周方向からずれた斜めの分力を受けることはないが、円形ポケットに収納されたボールからは従来通りに斜めの分力を受けるので、保持器の傾きの発生を確実に防止することはできない。
The ball bearing retainer described in
そこで、本発明の課題は、保持器の傾きの発生を確実に防止でき、かつ、応力集中による破損の恐れや、潤滑剤の流れの悪化による潤滑不良の恐れもない玉軸受用保持器を提供することである。 SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a ball bearing retainer that can reliably prevent the tilt of the retainer, and that is free from the risk of breakage due to stress concentration and poor lubrication due to deterioration of the lubricant flow. It is to be.
上記の課題を解決するために、本発明は、玉軸受の内外輪の軌道溝間に配列された複数のボールを、円筒状または円錐筒状の保持器の円周方向に間隔を開けて設けたポケットに保持する玉軸受用保持器において、前記ポケットの形状を対向する2つの辺が前記保持器の軸方向と平行で、他の対向する2つの辺がこれらと直角な四角形とし、この四角形状としたポケットの各コーナ部にR形状のぬすみを設けた構成を採用した。 In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a plurality of balls arranged between the raceway grooves of the inner and outer rings of a ball bearing at intervals in the circumferential direction of a cylindrical or conical cage. In the ball bearing cage held in the pocket, the square shape of the pocket is parallel to the axial direction of the cage, and the other two opposing sides are squares perpendicular to the square. A configuration was adopted in which each corner of the shaped pocket was provided with an R-shaped relief.
すなわち、ポケットの形状を対向する2つの辺が保持器の軸方向と平行で、他の対向する2つの辺がこれらと直角な四角形とし、この四角形状としたポケットの各コーナ部にR形状のぬすみを設けることにより、保持器の傾きの発生を確実に防止できるようにするとともに、ポケットの各コーナ部での応力集中を緩和して破損の恐れをなくし、かつ、各コーナ部に潤滑剤を通す隙間を十分に確保して、潤滑剤の流れの悪化による潤滑不良の恐れもないようにした。 That is, the two sides facing the pocket shape are parallel to the axial direction of the cage, and the other two facing sides are squares perpendicular to them, and each corner portion of the square pocket has an R shape. By providing a relief, it is possible to reliably prevent the cage from tilting, reduce the stress concentration at each corner of the pocket, eliminate the risk of breakage, and add lubricant to each corner. Sufficient clearance was ensured so that there was no risk of poor lubrication due to deterioration of the lubricant flow.
前記保持器を樹脂で形成されたものとすることにより、ポケットコーナ部のR形状のぬすみを容易に設けることができる。 By forming the cage from resin, it is possible to easily provide an R-shaped relief at the pocket corner.
上述した各玉軸受用保持器は、工作機械の主軸を支持するアンギュラ玉軸受用のものに好適である。 Each of the ball bearing cages described above is suitable for an angular ball bearing that supports a main shaft of a machine tool.
本発明の玉軸受用保持器は、ポケットの形状を対向する2つの辺が保持器の軸方向と平行で、他の対向する2つの辺がこれらと直角な四角形とし、この四角形状としたポケットの各コーナ部にR形状のぬすみを設けたので、保持器の傾きの発生を確実に防止できるとともに、応力集中による破損の恐れや潤滑剤の流れの悪化による潤滑不良の恐れもないようにすることができる。 The ball bearing retainer of the present invention has a rectangular shape in which the two opposite sides are parallel to the axial direction of the cage and the other two opposite sides are perpendicular to them. Since the corners of each corner are provided with an R shape, it is possible to reliably prevent the cage from being tilted and to prevent the risk of damage due to stress concentration and the failure of lubrication due to the deterioration of the lubricant flow. be able to.
前記保持器を樹脂で形成されたものとすることにより、ポケットコーナ部のR形状のぬすみを容易に設けることができる。 By forming the cage from resin, it is possible to easily provide an R-shaped relief at the pocket corner.

図2(a)、(b)に示すように、前記保持器5は、樹脂で円筒状に形成され、その円周方向に間隔を開けて、ボール4を収納する四角形のポケット6が設けられている。このポケット6は、軸方向と平行に対向する2つの辺6aと、これらと直角な2つの対向する辺6bとで形成されており、各コーナ部にR形状のぬすみ6cが設けられている。したがって、ボール4が転動方向で左右にずれても、円周方向からずれた斜めの分力で保持器5が傾くことはなく、かつ、各コーナ部への応力集中や、保持器5の内径側から外径側への潤滑剤循環の悪化が生じる恐れもない。
