ROLLER-BEARING.
Patented Nov. 5, 19518.
Application filed July 27, 1916. Serial No. 111,588.
To all whom z' may concern:
Be it known that I, BENGT WIK'roR FJELL- infin, a subject of the King of Sweden, reslding at Gottenborg, in the Kingdom of Sweden, have invented certain ne and useful Improvements in Roller-Bearings, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to double row" rollerbearings of the type having outwardly taperlng conical rollers and having, between the two rows of rollers, a distance-ring or other spacing device adapted to keep the rollers in position relatively to the transverse Acenltral plane of the bearing and to take up the thrust from the race-rings which tends to move the rollers inward toward the transverse central plane of the bearing.
In bearings having cylindrical rollers, no such end thrust is exerted on them, and consequently the rollers are fairly easily guided and maintained in their correct position. In the case of conical bearings, however, there is considerable pressure exerted axially on the rollers and the friction may thereforebecome excessive; this is particularly so when the conical rollers are guided by gudgeon pins formed on each end engaging the spacing device and the object of this invention isto provide a conical bearingof the kind described, in which the friction is the least possible, without jeopardizing the retention and guidance of the rollers in exact positions relatively to each other.
The invention comprises therefore a double row of conical roller-bearing of the type described wherein the inner end of each roller is ground accurately plane at or in the proximity of its axis and each roller bears on an accurately ground part of the spacing device only at, or in the proximity of, its own axis. By forming the two sets of bearing-surfaces accurately smooth, and of the correct shape and size, it can be insured that each of the rollers has an accurate contact on the three sides, with the outer race-ring, the inner race-ring and the spacing device respectively with a minimum amount of friction.
The invention further consists in certain constructional forms of said arrangement, such forms 'being hereinafter particularly described.
In the drawings, several embodiments of the invention are illustrated, Figure l is a longitudinal section and Fig. 2 is. a partial end view of a roller bearing having a dis' tance ring according to the invention. Fig. 3 is a section on line A-fA of Fig. 1. Figs. 4 to 6 are longitudinal sections of parts of roller bearings having distance rings of different construction. Fig. 7 is a section on line VII-VII of Fig. 6. Fig. 7a is a plan view of part of the roller cage shown in Fig. 6. Fig. S is a longitudinal section'of a modified form of roller bearing, and Fig. 9 is a section on line B-B of Fig. 8. Fig. 10 is a longitudinal section, and Fig. 11 is a partial end view of a roller bearing in which balls are used for the distance ring. Figs. 12 to 19 show the invention applied to roller bearings having races of different forms.
Referring first to Figs. 1 to 3, the inner ring 1 is provided with aI spherical race, while the outer ring 2 is provided with two conical races having their apices on the axis of the bearing. Also the rollers 4 are conical in shape, the apices of the cones coinciding with the apices of the cones formed by the outer races. Placed between the two rows of rollers is a distance ring 5, on which the rollers bear with their inner end surfaces which are plane next to the axes of the rollers, said ring serving to take up thrust from the rollers and to keep them at predetermined distances froni one another and from the radial center plane of the bearing, without too great friction arising at the contact points. The ring 5 is provided, at Aboth sides, with wings or projections 6 designed to enter between the rollers of each set or row and to keep the rollers of each set at predetermined distances from one another. The ring 5 thus also serves as an ordinary roller cage.
In the modification according to Fig. 4, the ring 5 is provided with bolts 7 on which the rollers 4 are journaled. The bolts 7 belonging to one and the same set of rollers pass through a conical ring 8 bearing on the outer ends of the rollers; said ring may be secured for' instance by a wire 9 passed through the bolts or by the ends of the bolts said rollers are placed right opposite each other in the form according to 5. ln

a me ring @Muir1 the races of the inner ring is greater than the radius of a sphere, touching the rollers at their inner sides. The outer ring is divided and Akept together by a cylindrical ring 20 having bent edges.
The bearings according to Figs. 17 to 19 are rigid, While the bearings having a spherically shaped inner race according to Figs. 1 to 13 are self-alining.
In the above, different forms of the distance ring have been described by way of example.
The projections 6 of the distance rings 5 formed as roller cages can be placed either opposite each other (see for instance Fig. 8) or in staggered relationship (see for instance Fig. 1) according as it be desired thatdistance-piece itself or a ball carried by the distance-piece must be accurately ground to the correct size and finished.
l claim as my invention 1. A double row roller bearing having outwardly tapered conical rollers, the inner end of each roller being ground accurately plane at or in the proximity of its axis, a spacing device between the two rows of rollers and having accurately ground faces for engaging said rollers and adapted to keep the same in position relatively to the radial center plane of the bearing to take the end thrust from the race rings,- each roller bearing on the spacing device at or in l the proximity of its axis only.
2. A double row roller bearing having outwardly tapering conical rollers, the inner end of each roller being provided with a frusto-conical end ha'ving an accurately ground plane face, and a spacing ring lo,
cated between the rows of rollers and engaging each said roller at the said plane face.
In testimony whereof I aiiX my signature.
