Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、回転軸を固定部に対して回転自在に支持する転がり軸受装置に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
従来から、車両や各種工作機械において、片持ち梁状の回転軸の基部をハウジング等の固定部に対して回転自在に支持するために転がり軸受装置が用いられている。
【0003】
転がり軸受装置は、例えば、内外輪の間に転動可能に玉列を介装してなるラジアル玉軸受であり、内輪を回転軸に外嵌し、外輪を固定部に固定することにより、回転軸が固定部に対して回転自在に支持される。
【0004】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
片持ち梁状の回転軸には、その先端にてギアやベルト等が設置され、当該回転軸から動力が出力されたり、逆に入力されたりする。そのため、回転軸の先端側にて軸心に直交する力が作用し、回転に伴って回転軸にモーメントが発生する。
【0005】
特に、過大なモーメント荷重がラジアル玉軸受に負荷された場合、軸受寿命が低下したり、玉が軌道の肩に乗り上げたりし、モーメント剛性が不足して使用不能になるという問題があった。
【0006】
そこで、モーメント剛性を高めるため、複列深溝のラジアル玉軸受を用いた場合、ラジアル荷重を両列の深溝玉軸受にて受けるため、トルクが大きくなるという新たな問題が発生する。
【0007】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明は、ラジアル玉軸受と斜接玉軸受とを含む転がり軸受装置であって、同心に配置した内外軌道輪と、これら内外軌道輪間にそれぞれ転動可能に軸方向に並んで介装したラジアル玉軸受用の玉列ならびに斜接玉軸受用の玉列とからなり、前記内外軌道輪のうちの少なくともいずれか一方の軌道輪には、ラジアル玉軸受用の玉軌道と斜接玉軸受用の玉軌道とが一体的に形成され、前記斜接玉軸受において前記斜接玉軸受用の玉列は、予圧が付与されない状態に位置決めされ、嵌合される回転軸にモーメント荷重が作用しない時には、前記斜接玉軸受用の玉軌道に対して空転し、前記回転軸にモーメント荷重が発生した時には、該モーメント荷重を受けるべく、前記斜接玉軸受用の玉軌道に転接するものである。
【0008】
転がり軸受装置の具体的な適用対象としては、特に限定されるものではなく、車両や各種工作機械等の片持ち梁状の回転軸を回転自在に支持する個所に広く適用できる。
【0009】
内輪が回転輪,外輪が固定輪、あるいは内輪が固定輪,外輪が回転輪のいずれであってもよい。
【0010】
ラジアル玉軸受は、ラジアル荷重を受ける他、玉と内外軌道輪の間に存在する隙間によって、回転軸にモーメントが発生した際に、当該隙間分だけ内外の軌道輪が相対的に移動し、わずかにモーメント荷重を受ける。
【0011】
斜接玉軸受は、ラジアル荷重を受けず、回転軸にモーメントが発生した際に、当該モーメント荷重のみを受けるように構成されている。すなわち、モーメント荷重を受けない時は、玉は軌道輪に対して空転状態とし、回転軸にモーメントが発生した時のみ軌道輪に対して転接してモーメント荷重を受ける。このように、モーメント荷重の有無によって玉が軌道輪に転接したり空転したりするように、玉と軌道輪との間に隙間を形成したり、あるいは玉に予圧を付与せずに玉と軌道輪を接触させ、実質的にモーメント荷重を受ける。
【0012】
本発明の転がり軸受装置によると、ラジアル荷重を受けるラジアル玉軸受と、回転軸によるモーメント荷重のみを受ける斜接玉軸受とを備えており、ラジアル荷重は単列のラジアル玉軸受にて受けるため、トルクを小さく抑えることができる。また、過大なモーメント荷重が負荷された場合には、当該モーメント荷重を実質的に斜接玉軸受にて受けることができる。
【0013】
具体的には、ラジアル玉軸受と斜接玉軸受とを含む転がり軸受装置であって、同心に配置した内輪ならびに外輪と、これら内外輪間にそれぞれ転動可能に軸方向に並んで介装したラジアル玉軸受用の玉列ならびに斜接玉軸受用の玉列とからなり、前記内輪は、ラジアル玉軸受用の第1内輪軌道溝を有した第1内輪と、斜接玉軸受用の第2内輪軌道溝を有した第2内輪とからなり、前記外輪は、ラジアル玉軸受用の第1外輪軌道溝と、斜接玉軸受用の第2外輪軌道溝を有し、前記ラジアル玉軸受用の玉列が、前記第1内輪の第1内輪軌道溝と、前記外輪の第1外輪軌道溝に沿って転動可能に配置され、前記斜接玉軸受用の玉列が、前記第2内輪の第2内輪軌道溝と、前記外輪の第2外輪軌道溝に沿って転動可能に配置され、前記内輪に回転軸が装着され、前記外輪が固定部に固定され、前記斜接玉軸受において前記斜接玉軸受用の玉列は、予圧が付与されない状態に位置決めされ、前記回転軸にモーメント荷重が作用しない時には、前記第2内輪軌道溝と前記第2外輪軌道溝に対して空転し、前記回転軸にモーメント荷重が発生した時には、該モーメント荷重を受けるべく、前記第2内輪軌道溝と前記第2外輪軌道溝に転接するものである。
【0014】
このように、第1内輪,外輪,玉列からなるラジアル玉軸受に、第2内輪ならびに玉列を別途追加して斜接玉軸受を構成することで、共通のラジアル玉軸受でもって、第2内輪を変更するだけで、負荷されるモーメント荷重の大きさの違いに対応できる。
【0015】
【発明の実施の形態】
本発明の実施の形態を図1および図2を用いて説明する。
【0016】
図1は転がり軸受装置1の半分の断面図、図2はその使用状態を示す半分の断面図である。
【0017】
図1において、転がり軸受装置1は、同心に設けた内輪2ならびに外輪3と、これら内外輪2,3間に軸方向に並設して介装した2列の玉6,7より構成されている。
【0018】
内輪2は、第1内輪4と第2内輪5からなる。
【0019】
第1内輪4は、軸受鋼(SUJ)等を用いて、焼入れ・焼もどし処理を施して所望の表面硬さに形成されている。第1内輪4の外周面には、ラジアル玉軸受1a用の深溝の第1内輪軌道溝41が設けられている。
【0020】
第2内輪5は、薄板鋼板をプレス成形し、焼入れ・焼もどし処理を施して所望の表面硬さにして形成されている。
【0021】
第2内輪5は、外周面が第1内輪4の内周面に当接し内周面が後述する回転軸に外嵌するよう軸方向円筒状に延びる軸外嵌部52と、前記軸外嵌部52の軸方向一端側に第1内輪2から外輪3にかけて拡径して外周面に斜接玉軸受1b用の第2内輪軌道溝51が形成され内周面に前記回転軸が当接する軌道部53と、前記軌道部53の軸方向端部から軸方向他端側に軸方向に向けて延びその軸方向他端側の端面が外輪3の軸方向一端側の端面に所要の隙間11を隔てて対向するシール部54とから構成されている。
【0022】
第2内輪5の軌道部53の構造をさらに詳しく説明すると、この軌道部53は、第1内輪4の軸方向一方側端面に当接するよう軸外嵌部52の軸方向一端側から径方向外向きに折り曲げられた環状の第1径方向部53aと、第1径方向部53aから軸方向一方側に向けて円弧状に拡径する環状の円弧状部53bと、この円弧状部53bから径方向に向けて延びる環状の第2径方向部53cとから構成されている。そして、第2内輪5の軌道部53においては、第2径方向部53cに前記シール部54が連接されているとともに、円弧状部53bの外周面は円弧状に形成されることで前記第2内輪軌道溝51を構成する。
【0023】
外輪3は、軸受鋼(SUJ)等を用いて、焼入れ・焼もどし処理を施して所望の表面硬さに形成されている。外輪3の内周面には、ラジアル玉軸受1a用の深溝の第1外輪軌道溝31が形成されており、かつ、内周面の片縁部には斜接玉軸受1b用の第2外輪軌道溝32が形成されている。
【0024】
転がり軸受装置1の組み立て手順について説明する。
【0025】
第1内輪4と外輪3の中心軸を互いに偏心させておき、複数の玉6を第1内輪4の第1内輪軌道溝41と外輪3の第1外輪軌道溝31に沿って転動可能に介装させる。第1内輪4と外輪3の中心軸を合わせ、保持器8を装着して玉6を周方向等間隔に保持させる。
【0026】
第2内輪5の第2内輪軌道溝51に沿って、複数の玉7を配置させ、保持器9を装着して玉7を周方向等間隔に保持させる。
【0027】
第2内輪5の軸外嵌部52の外周面に第1内輪4が圧入され、軌道部53の第1径方向部53aを第1内輪4の軸方向端面に当接させて、後述するように、玉7に予圧が付与されないように位置決めする。第1内輪4と第2内輪5が一体回転可能となる。玉7は、第2内輪5の第2内輪軌道溝51と、外輪3の第2外輪軌道溝32に沿って転動する。
【0028】
斜接玉軸受1bは、回転軸に過大なモーメントが発生した際に、当該モーメント荷重を受けるように構成されている。すなわち、ラジアル荷重はラジアル玉軸受1aにて受け、斜接玉軸受1bは、ラジアル荷重を受けずモーメント荷重のみを受けるように構成されている。例えば、玉7には予圧が付与されず、玉7と、第2内輪軌道溝51ならびに第2外輪軌道溝32との間には、隙間が形成されていたり、あるいは、玉7と、第2内輪軌道溝51ならびに第2外輪軌道溝32が、予圧を付与されない状態にて接触していてもよい。モーメント荷重が作用しない時には、玉7は、第2内輪軌道溝51ならびに第2外輪軌道溝32に対して空転状態となり、回転軸にモーメントが発生した時のみ、第2内輪軌道溝51ならびに第2外輪軌道溝32に対して転接してモーメント荷重を受ける。
【0029】
内外輪2,3間にグリースが充填され、第1内輪4と外輪3の軸方向一端がシール部材10にて閉蓋されるとともに、軸方向他端は第2内輪5のシール部54と外輪3との間にラビリンスとなる隙間11が形成されている。
【0030】
図2を用いて、転がり軸受装置1の使用状態について説明する。
【0031】
第2内輪5の軸外嵌部52が、片持ち梁状の回転軸12の外周面に圧入固定される。回転軸12は図の左方向(矢印A方向)に延設され、その先端にてギアやベルト等が設置され、回転軸12から動力が出力されたり、入力されたりする。転がり軸受装置1は、斜接玉軸受1bを回転軸12の先端側に配置して、回転軸12の基部に装着される。回転軸12には、第2内輪5の軌道部53の外面に沿うバックアップ部14が形成されている。また、外輪3は、ハウジング等の固定部13に圧入固定される。転がり軸受装置1によって、回転軸12が固定部13に対して回転自在に支持される。
【0032】
回転軸12に過大なモーメント荷重Mが作用しない状態では、斜接玉軸受1bの玉7は、第2内輪軌道溝51ならびに第2外輪軌道溝32に対して空転し、ラジアル荷重は、ラジアル玉軸受1aのみにて受ける。
【0033】
回転軸12に過大なモーメント荷重Mが作用すると、斜接玉軸受1bの玉7が第2内輪軌道溝51ならびに第2外輪軌道溝32に転接し、実質的に斜接玉軸受1bにて当該モーメント荷重Mを受ける。なお、ラジアル玉軸受1aでは、玉6と軌道溝31,41の間に存在する隙間分だけ、第1内輪4と外輪3が相対的に移動し、わずかにモーメント荷重Mを受ける。
【0034】
このように構成された転がり軸受装置によると、ラジアル荷重は単列のラジアル玉軸受1aにて受けるため、トルクを小さく抑えることができる。また、過大なモーメント荷重が負荷された場合には、実質的に当該モーメント荷重を斜接玉軸受1bにて受けることができ、軸受寿命の低下や、玉6,7が軌道の肩に乗り上げるのを防止でき、モーメント剛性が向上する。
【0035】
第1内輪4,外輪3,玉列6からなるラジアル玉軸受1aに、第2内輪5ならびに玉列7を別途追加して斜接玉軸受1bを構成することで、共通のラジアル玉軸受1aでもって、第2内輪5を変更するだけで、負荷されるモーメント荷重の大きさの違いに対応できる。すなわち、従来から一般的に使用されているラジアル玉軸受1aを用い、部品の共通化を図りながら、容易にモーメント荷重に対する負荷容量の異なる軸受を安価に提供できる。
【0036】
なお、第2内輪5の形状は、上記実施の形態のものに限らず、第1内輪4に固定されるとともに、玉7が転接する第2内輪軌道溝51を有したものであればよい。例えば、回転軸12にバックアップ部14が不要なように、軌道部53を厚肉としたもの等であってもよい。
【0037】
内輪2は、鍛造品である第1内輪4と、プレス成形品である第2内輪5の組み合わせに限るものではなく、鍛造品どうしの組み合わせや、プレス成形品どうしの組み合わせとしてもよく、外輪3もプレス成形品としてもよい。
【0038】
図3に、転がり軸受装置1の変形例を示す。
【0039】
この変形例は、内輪2を一体ものとしたことを特徴とするものである。
【0040】
内輪2は、軸受鋼(SUJ)等を用いて、焼入れ・焼もどし処理を施して所望の表面硬さに形成されている。内輪2の外周面には、ラジアル玉軸受1a用の深溝の第1内輪軌道溝21と、斜接玉軸受1b用の第2内輪軌道溝22が、軸方向に並んで形成されている。
【0041】
転がり軸受装置1の組み立て手順は、内外輪2,3の中心軸を互いに偏心させておき、軸方向一端からラジアル玉軸受1a用の玉6を第1内輪軌道溝21と第1外輪軌道溝31に沿って転動可能に介装させるとともに、軸方向他端から斜接玉軸受1b用の玉7を、第2内輪軌道溝22と第2外輪軌道溝32に沿って転動可能に介装させる。内外輪2,3の中心軸を合わせ、玉6,7をそれぞれ保持器8,9にて周方向等間隔に保持させる。
【0042】
ラジアル玉軸受1aは、ラジアル荷重を受ける他、玉6と軌道溝21,31の間に存在する隙間によって、回転軸にモーメントが発生した際に、当該隙間分だけ内外輪2,3が相対的に移動し、わずかにモーメント荷重を受ける。
【0043】
斜接玉軸受1bは、ラジアル荷重を受けず、回転軸にモーメントが発生した際に、当該モーメント荷重のみを受けるように構成されている。すなわち、モーメント荷重を受けない時は、玉7は内外輪2,3に対して空転状態とし、回転軸にモーメントが発生した時のみ内外輪2,3に対して転接してモーメント荷重を受けるように、玉7と軌道溝22,32との間に隙間を形成したり、あるいは玉7に予圧を付与せずに玉7と軌道溝22,32を接触させ、実質的にモーメント荷重を受けるように構成されている。
【0044】
内外輪2,3間にグリースが充填され、軸方向両端がそれぞれシール部材10,10にて閉蓋される。
【0045】
転がり軸受装置1は、内輪2が片持ち梁状の回転軸の外周に圧入固定されるとともに、外輪3が固定部に固定されることにより、回転軸を回転自在に支持する。
【0046】
このように構成された転がり軸受装置1においても、前記実施の形態と同様の効果が得られる。
【0047】
なお、前記各例において、グリース密封構造に限らず、オイル潤滑で使用する転がり軸受装置に適用してもよい。この場合、シール部材10,54は不要となる。
【0048】
【発明の効果】
本発明の転がり軸受装置によると、ラジアル荷重は単列のラジアル玉軸受にて受けるため、トルクを小さく抑えることができる。また、過大なモーメント荷重が負荷された場合には、実質的に当該モーメント荷重を斜接玉軸受にて受けることができ、軸受寿命の低下や、玉が軌道の肩に乗り上げるのを防止でき、モーメント剛性が向上するという効果が得られる。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a rolling bearing device that rotatably supports a rotating shaft with respect to a fixed portion.
[0002]
[Prior art]
2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, rolling bearing devices have been used in vehicles and various machine tools to rotatably support a base portion of a cantilevered rotating shaft with respect to a fixed portion such as a housing.
[0003]
The rolling bearing device is, for example, a radial ball bearing in which a ball train is interposed between inner and outer rings so as to be able to roll. The inner ring is fitted on a rotating shaft, and the outer ring is fixed to a fixed portion. The shaft is rotatably supported with respect to the fixed part.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
A cantilever-shaped rotating shaft is provided with a gear, a belt, or the like at the tip thereof, and power is output from the rotating shaft or vice versa. Therefore, a force perpendicular to the axis acts on the tip side of the rotating shaft, and a moment is generated in the rotating shaft with the rotation.
[0005]
In particular, when an excessive moment load is applied to the radial ball bearing, there is a problem that the bearing life is shortened or the ball rides on the shoulder of the raceway, and the moment rigidity becomes insufficient and the use becomes impossible.
[0006]
Therefore, when a double row deep groove radial ball bearing is used in order to increase the moment rigidity, a radial load is received by both rows of deep groove ball bearings, resulting in a new problem of increased torque.
[0007]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The present invention is a rolling bearing device including a radial ball bearing and an oblique contact ball bearing, and is arranged concentrically arranged between inner and outer races and axially arranged between these inner and outer races so as to be capable of rolling. It is composed of a ball train for radial ball bearings and a ball train for oblique contact ball bearings, and at least one of the inner and outer races has a ball race for radial ball bearings and an oblique contact ball bearing. When the ball train for the oblique contact ball bearing is positioned in a state in which no preload is applied and no moment load is applied to the rotating shaft to be fitted. When the ball is idled with respect to the ball raceway for the oblique contact ball bearing and a moment load is generated on the rotary shaft, the ball contact for the contact ball bearing is contacted to receive the moment load.
[0008]
The specific application object of the rolling bearing device is not particularly limited, and can be widely applied to a portion that rotatably supports a cantilevered rotating shaft of a vehicle or various machine tools.
[0009]
The inner ring may be a rotating ring, the outer ring may be a fixed ring, the inner ring may be a fixed ring, and the outer ring may be a rotating ring.
[0010]
Radial ball bearings receive a radial load, and when a moment is generated in the rotating shaft due to a gap existing between the ball and the inner and outer races, the inner and outer races move relatively by the amount of the gap. Is subject to moment load.
[0011]
The oblique contact ball bearing is configured not to receive a radial load and to receive only the moment load when a moment is generated on the rotating shaft. That is, when no moment load is received, the ball is in an idle state with respect to the raceway, and only when a moment is generated on the rotating shaft, it comes into contact with the raceway and receives the moment load. In this way, a gap is formed between the ball and the raceway, or the ball and the raceway without preloading the ball, so that the ball rolls on or off the raceway depending on the presence or absence of moment load. contacting the wheel, Ru undergo substantial moment load.
[0012]
According to the rolling bearing device of the present invention, it is provided with a radial ball bearing that receives a radial load and an oblique contact ball bearing that receives only a moment load by the rotating shaft, and the radial load is received by a single row radial ball bearing. Torque can be kept small. Further, when an excessive moment load is applied, the moment load can be substantially received by the oblique contact ball bearing.
[0013]
Specifically, it is a rolling bearing device including a radial ball bearing and an oblique contact ball bearing, and the inner ring and the outer ring arranged concentrically, and the inner ring and the outer ring are arranged side by side so as to be capable of rolling. The inner ring includes a first inner ring having a first inner ring raceway groove for a radial ball bearing and a second inner line for the oblique contact ball bearing. The outer ring has a first outer ring raceway groove for a radial ball bearing and a second outer ring raceway groove for a slant ball bearing, and the outer ring has a second inner ring having an inner ring raceway groove. A ball train is arranged so as to roll along the first inner ring raceway groove of the first inner ring and the first outer ring raceway groove of the outer ring, and the ball train for the oblique contact ball bearing is arranged on the second inner ring. A second inner ring raceway groove and a second outer ring raceway groove of the outer ring are disposed so as to be able to roll, and a rotation shaft is disposed on the inner ring. Is deposited, the outer ring is fixed to the fixed portion, the ball train for the angular contact ball bearing in the angular contact ball bearing is positioned in a state in which the preload is not applied, when the moment load to the rotary shaft does not act, the When idling with respect to the second inner ring raceway groove and the second outer ring raceway groove, and when a moment load is generated on the rotating shaft, the second inner ring raceway groove and the second outer ring raceway groove are subjected to the moment load. It is a rolling contact.
[0014]
Thus, by adding a second inner ring and a ball array separately to the radial ball bearing composed of the first inner ring, the outer ring, and the ball array, the oblique contact ball bearing is configured, so that the second By changing the inner ring, it is possible to cope with the difference in the magnitude of the moment load applied.
[0015]

[0028]
The oblique contact ball bearing 1b is configured to receive the moment load when an excessive moment is generated on the rotating shaft. That is, the radial load is received by the radial ball bearing 1a, and the oblique contact ball bearing 1b is configured to receive only the moment load without receiving the radial load. For example, no preload is applied to the ball 7, and a gap is formed between the ball 7 and the second inner ring raceway groove 51 and the second outer ring raceway groove 32, or the ball 7 and the second The inner ring raceway groove 51 and the second outer ring raceway groove 32 may be in contact with each other in a state where no preload is applied. When the moment load is not applied, the balls 7 are idled with respect to the second inner ring raceway groove 51 and the second outer ring raceway groove 32, and only when the moment is generated on the rotating shaft, the second inner ring raceway groove 51 and the second Rollingly contacts the outer ring raceway groove 32 and receives a moment load.
[0029]
Grease is filled between the inner and outer rings 2 and 3, one axial end of the first inner ring 4 and the outer ring 3 is closed by the seal member 10, and the other axial end is the seal portion 54 of the second inner ring 5 and the outer ring. A gap 11 serving as a labyrinth is formed between the two.
[0030]
The use state of the rolling bearing device 1 will be described with reference to FIG.
[0031]
The shaft outer fitting portion 52 of the second inner ring 5 is press-fitted and fixed to the outer peripheral surface of the cantilever-shaped rotating shaft 12. The rotating shaft 12 extends in the left direction (arrow A direction) in the figure, and a gear, a belt, or the like is installed at the tip thereof, and power is output or input from the rotating shaft 12. In the rolling bearing device 1, the oblique contact ball bearing 1 b is disposed on the distal end side of the rotating shaft 12 and is mounted on the base portion of the rotating shaft 12. A backup portion 14 is formed on the rotating shaft 12 along the outer surface of the track portion 53 of the second inner ring 5. The outer ring 3 is press-fitted and fixed to a fixing part 13 such as a housing. The rotating shaft 12 is rotatably supported by the rolling bearing device 1 with respect to the fixed portion 13.
[0032]
In a state where an excessive moment load M does not act on the rotary shaft 12, the balls 7 of the oblique contact ball bearing 1b idle with respect to the second inner ring raceway groove 51 and the second outer ring raceway groove 32, and the radial load is a radial ball. It is received only by the bearing 1a.
[0033]
When an excessive moment load M is applied to the rotary shaft 12, the balls 7 of the oblique contact ball bearing 1b are brought into rolling contact with the second inner ring raceway groove 51 and the second outer ring raceway groove 32, and substantially the oblique contact ball bearing 1b Moment load M is received. In the radial ball bearing 1a, the first inner ring 4 and the outer ring 3 move relative to each other by a gap existing between the ball 6 and the raceway grooves 31 and 41, and receive a moment load M slightly.
[0034]
According to the rolling bearing device configured as described above, since the radial load is received by the single-row radial ball bearing 1a, the torque can be suppressed small. In addition, when an excessive moment load is applied, the moment load can be substantially received by the oblique contact ball bearing 1b, and the bearing life is reduced, and the balls 6 and 7 run on the shoulder of the raceway. Can be prevented and the moment rigidity is improved.
[0035]
By adding a second inner ring 5 and a ball array 7 separately to the radial ball bearing 1a composed of the first inner ring 4, the outer ring 3, and the ball array 6, the oblique contact ball bearing 1b is configured, thereby providing a common radial ball bearing 1a. Therefore, only by changing the second inner ring 5, it is possible to cope with the difference in the magnitude of the applied moment load. That is, it is possible to easily provide a bearing having a different load capacity with respect to the moment load at a low cost while using the radial ball bearing 1a that has been generally used in the past and sharing parts.

[0040]
The inner ring 2 is formed to have a desired surface hardness by performing quenching and tempering treatment using bearing steel (SUJ) or the like. On the outer peripheral surface of the inner ring 2, a first inner ring raceway groove 21 for a deep groove for the radial ball bearing 1a and a second inner ring raceway groove 22 for the oblique contact ball bearing 1b are formed side by side in the axial direction.
[0041]
The assembly procedure of the rolling bearing device 1 is such that the central axes of the inner and outer rings 2 and 3 are decentered from each other, and the ball 6 for the radial ball bearing 1a is inserted into the first inner ring raceway groove 21 and the first outer ring raceway groove 31 from one end in the axial direction. The ball 7 for the oblique contact ball bearing 1b is interposed from the other axial end so as to be able to roll along the second inner ring raceway groove 22 and the second outer ring raceway groove 32. Let The central axes of the inner and outer rings 2 and 3 are aligned, and the balls 6 and 7 are held at equal intervals in the circumferential direction by the cages 8 and 9, respectively.
[0042]
The radial ball bearing 1a receives a radial load, and when a moment is generated in the rotating shaft due to a gap existing between the ball 6 and the raceway grooves 21 and 31, the inner and outer rings 2 and 3 are relatively moved by the gap. To receive a moment load.
[0043]
The oblique contact ball bearing 1b is configured not to receive a radial load and to receive only the moment load when a moment is generated on the rotating shaft. That is, when no moment load is applied, the ball 7 is in an idle state with respect to the inner and outer rings 2 and 3 so that the ball 7 is in contact with the inner and outer rings 2 and 3 only when a moment is generated on the rotating shaft. In addition, a gap is formed between the ball 7 and the raceway grooves 22 and 32, or the ball 7 and the raceway grooves 22 and 32 are brought into contact with each other without applying a preload to the ball 7 so that the moment load is substantially received. It is configured.
[0044]
Grease is filled between the inner and outer rings 2 and 3, and both ends in the axial direction are closed by seal members 10 and 10, respectively.
[0045]
In the rolling bearing device 1, the inner ring 2 is press-fitted and fixed to the outer periphery of the cantilever-shaped rotating shaft, and the outer ring 3 is fixed to the fixed portion, so that the rotating shaft is rotatably supported.
[0046]
Also in the rolling bearing device 1 configured in this way, the same effect as in the above embodiment can be obtained.
[0047]
In each of the above examples, the present invention may be applied not only to the grease sealing structure but also to a rolling bearing device used for oil lubrication. In this case, the seal members 10 and 54 are unnecessary.
[0048]
【The invention's effect】
According to the rolling bearing device of the present invention, since the radial load is received by the single-row radial ball bearing, the torque can be kept small. In addition, when an excessive moment load is applied, the moment load can be substantially received by the oblique contact ball bearing, and the bearing life can be prevented from being reduced and the balls can be prevented from riding on the shoulder of the raceway. The effect that moment rigidity improves is acquired.
