Mal-ter enclosed in heavy brackets I: appears in the original patent but forms no part o! this reissue specification; matter printed shaft, whether the last shaft is rotating or not.
The principal object of the invention is the provision of a shaft seal to be applied to the supplying air or any other duid medium to a passage in said shaft from an external source, said seal including antifriction bearings for reducing the friction to a minimum and thereby increasing the overall efficiency of the seal.
Anotherv object of the invention is the provision of an end shaft seal in which anti-friction bearings are employed between the rotary member and the stationary member, and in which a running seal is effected between the inner and the outer races of the bearings.
A further object of the invention is the provision of an end shaft seal in which anti-friction bearings are provided between the stationary and the rotary member, a running seal being provided between the inner and the outer races of the bearing and so positioned relative to the latter that the anti-friction elements are not subjected to the fluid-medium conveyed.
Other objects will be apparent to those skilled in the art upon a perusal of the following specification and the accompanying drawing:
Figure 1 is a cross-sectional elevation of one embodiment of the invention;
Figure 2 is an end view of the shaft seal of Figure 1 as seen from the right end thereof;
Figure 3 is a sectional elevation of a shaft seal embodying a further modification of the invention;
Figure 4 is a right end view of the seal shown in Figure 3;
Figure 5 is a cross-section of an end shaft seal in which a running seal is effected between the surfaces of fittings devised to contain the races of a ball bearing; and
Figure 6 is a right end view of the seal shown in Figure 5.
' Referring to Figure 1, a rotating shaft III having a hollow passage II therein carries threads I2 at the end thereof. A hub member I3'has a threaded hole matching the threads I2, and a passage I4 therethrough communication with the passage II. The hub I3 has a portion I5 of reduced diameter and the portion I5 has a groove I6 therein near the end thereof. In reducing the portion I5 of the hub, a shoulder I1 is formed.
in italics indicates the additions made by reissue The inner race IB of a ball bearing is pressed on the reduced portion I5 and abuts the shoulder I'I. A spring retaining ring I9 is snapped into the groove I6 for retaining the race on I5.
The outer race 20 of the ball bearing has an end portion 20a extending radially toward the inner race I8, and a plurality of balls 2l are circumferentially disposed between the two races. Although ball bearings are shown, it is obvious that rollers, needles or any other type of nonfriction bearing may be used.
Embracing the outer race 2Il is the cylindrical wall 22 of a cup-shaped member. Near the open -end of the cylindrical wall is formed an annular groove 23. Within the opening of the cylindrical wall may be mounted a spacing ring 24, a grease retaining ring 25 and a cup-shaped member 2l. The space between the membersv25 and 2B may be filled with an annular dust-proof wick 21. The annular groove 23 carries a spring retaining ring 28 for retaining the members 24, 25, and 2B in the open end of the cylindrical wall 22. A recess 29 is formed-within the hub portion 30 of the cup-shaped member, the purpose of which will presently be described.
Communicating with passage 3|. The hub 30 has a portion 32 ofreduced diameter with a threaded hole 33 formed therein which fits the threaded end of a conduit 34. The conduit 34 has a passage 35 therein which communicates with the tapered passage 3I so that when the conduit 34 is connectedto a source of fluid medium under pressure, for example, compressed air, the air may ow through the passages 35, 3|, I4 and thence via the passage II to some member to be controlled carried on the moving shaft III. The end surface 3B on the inner race I8 and the end surface 31 on the portion 2Ilal on the outer race, constitute sealing surfaces which are engaged by a sealing ring 38. From this arrangement, it may be seen that the balls or other anti-friction elements of the bearing are not subjected to the pressure of the fluid medium passing through the seal. The ball bearings may be packed with lubricant and some of this lubricant, in addition to lubricating the bearing may also lubricate the sealing surfaces of the races.
In the embodiment shown in -Figure 3, the
member to be secured to the end of a rotating shaft consists of a tubular member 39 having an enlarged hexagonal portion 40. A passage 4I extends longitudinally through the tubular body 39 and communicates with the threadedv the recess 29 is a tapered a Huid-tight seal with the hole 42 matching the threads on a rotating shaft such as the shaft I shown in Figure 1,.
An annular groove 43 is formed in the tubular body and carries a spring ring 44 to limit the position`of the inner race'45 of the ball bearing.
, Abutting the tubular body 3'9 in sealed relationI is a tubular member 39a, formed 0i' "Synthane" or other oil resistant resilient material. The tubular member 39a has formed therein a groove 45. This groove has one edge with a surfaceA at right angles to the axis of the tubular member and a second surface designated by the numeral 41 angular with respect to the axis of the tubular member. The member 39a also has a passage 4| a thereinrcommunicating with the passage 4|.
The outer race 4l is concentric with the inner race 45 and a plurality of balls 49 therebetween forms an anti-friction bearing. vA stator I| has a counterbored portion 5| fitting the outer race 48. A groove 52 formed in the counterbored portion 5| carries a retaining ring 53 for re-` t taining the outer race 48 therein.
A cup-shaped member 54 has a flanged portion between the retaining ring 53 and the race 4l and carries a'sultable dust-tight packing 55.
AdJoining the counterbored portion 5| inthe stator is a recess 58. Communicating with the recess 58 is a sealing bore51, and a threaded hole 58 communicates with the bore 51 so that compressed air or'any other fluid medium under pressure may be connected to thestator and may pass therethrough via the passage 4| and into the rotating shaft to which the new and improved sealing device is connected.l
A sealing ring 59 is mounted in the groove 46 andunder the influence of the pressure of the fluid medium this ring is urged along the slanting surface 41. Due to this urging, the sealing ring 59 is maintained in sealing contact .with the surface of the bore 51 and theslanting surface 41.
In this arrangement the peripheral yspeed of the sealing surfaces is low due to the small diameters of the surfaces 41 and 51.
Referring now to Figure 5, it will be noted that the sealing is effected between members carrying the races of the ball bearings instead of between the ends of the races per se, as shown in Figure 1.
moving shaft via the passages 16 and 8l. The sealing ring 15 is subjected to pressure and the seal between it and the surfaces of the flanges 62 and 6B are thereby maintained in sealed relation.
Although I have herein shown and described three modifications of my new and improved shaft seal, all of which show the non-friction bearings external to the pressure of the uid medium, so that the lubrication thereof is simplifled, it is obvious that these bearings may be subjected to the pressure of the fluid medium and that many other changes may be made in the arrangement shown and described, without departing from the spirit of the invention as set forth in the following claims.
