Definitions
- the invention relates to a device of the kind stated in the introductory clause of claim 1.
- FIG. 4 shows an arrangement by which a bearing can be mounted and dismounted easily.
- the sealing members used give an uncertain sealing function, as the use of a clamping sleeve with a longitudinal slit allows contaminants to enter the bearing and/or allows lubricants to escape from the bearing through the slit along the shaft if the elements which are situated adjacent the side surfaces of the inner ring of the bearing are not fitting tightly against said side surfaces, which is difficult to achieve if the bearing is mounted by being displaced along the sleeve on the shaft.
- the object of the invention is to provide a device of the kind mentioned above, by which the space which houses the bearing can be effectively sealed off also when the bearing is mounted on a slitted sleeve.
- a device according to the invention allows the bearing to be displaced on the clamping sleeve during mounting a desired distance without impairing the sealing function.
- a shaft 1 is mounted in a bearing 2 in a housing 3.
- the bearing which is shown as a double-row spherical roller bearing, is mounted in a cylindrical seat in the housing and connected to the shaft by a clamping sleeve 4.
- the sleeve is slitted along its whole length in order to readily deformable radially.
- the bore of the inner ring of the bearing and the envelope surface of the clamping sleeve are shaped as co-operating clamping surfaces which are wedge-shaped in a longitudinal section.
- the surfaces are suitably conical, but may have other shapes. In the embodiment shown, the surfaces have saw-tooth longitudinal section profiles, which gives the clamping surfaces a small radial extension.
- Mounting and dismounting of the bearing on the shaft is carried out by displacing the bearing in relation to the clamping sleeve.
- This can be done by the fact that the clamping sleeve is provided with flanges 5, 6 which are arranged on either side of the bearing.
- the flanges are axially fixed to the sleeve and provided with threaded bores into which set screws 7 may be screwed to direct or indirect contact with the side surfaces of the inner ring of the bearing 2.
- set screws 7 may be screwed to direct or indirect contact with the side surfaces of the inner ring of the bearing 2.
- the flanges are suitably separate elements which are loosely mounted in grooves in the sleeve.
- the diameter of the sleeve can thereby vary also in the areas surrounded by the flanges.
- a loose washer 8 whose side surfaces are shaped for suitable sealing contact against the inner ring of the bearing 2 and for taking up forces from set screws in the bores in the flange 5 is preferably arranged between the bearing and the flange 5.
- a resilient sealing and spring member 10 preferably in the shape of a rubber ring, is provided in a substantially V-shaped groove defined by chamfered edges on the flange 5 and the washer 8 or on the bearing inner ring, if the washer is absent.
- the rubber ring is mounted with a prestress in the groove, keeping the elements mounted on the sleeve in a certain prestress in their proper positions and permitting the displacement necessary for mounting or dismounting the bearing to take place without impairing the sealing function. Possible contaminants entering through the slit in the sleeve and spreading in the gap between the flange 5 and the washer 8 are prevented by the rubber ring 10 from entering the bearing.
- the rubber ring also prevents lubricants from escaping from the bearing the same way.
- a second washer 9 is arranged between the flange 6 and the bearing 2 at the large end of the conical portion of the sleeve 4.
- the side surfaces of this washer are in contact against dismounting screws in the flange 6 and against a second sealing and spring member 11, which is situated between the washer 9 and the side surface of the inner ring of the bearing.
- the member 11 is compressible, so that the inner ring of the bearing can be moved axially during mounting on the clamping sleeve 4. It also acts as a seal between the washer 9 and the bearing.
- the fit between the washer 9 and the flange 6 is tight. Only when the bearing is dismounted can there by a gap between the flange and the washer.
- the sleeve with the bearing, flanges, washers and sealing members can constitute a self-contained unit which can be mounted to a shaft and dismounted off it in a simple manner.
- the flanges 5, 6 have substantially cylindrical envelope surfaces at their outer confinements.
- Sealing members are provided in the housing 3 radially outside the flanges and surrounding them. .[.The.]. .Iadd.In a preferred embodiment, the sealing members comprise sealing lips 12, 13 which contact the cylindrical envelope surfaces. The lips are situated on resilient sealing parts which are fitted to sheet metal rings 14, 15. Each one of these rings has a cylindrical portion which fit into a seat in the housing, and a radially inwards extending portion which covers a portion of the shaft opening of the housing around the shaft. The resilient sealing parts are arranged on the inner edges of said radially extending portion.
- the sealing members are arranged in the same planes as the flanges 5, 6 and co-operate with these, axial space is saved.
- the seals do not require a greater radial space than the bearing 2, and, therefore, there is no need for an extra radial space in the housing 3.
- the sealing lips 12, 13 have a substantial radial resiliency which allows the flanges 5, 6 to be moved a comparatively long way radially without being obstructed by the seals, which permits the shaft 1 to be tilted in the housing as much as the self-aligning ability of the bearing 2 permits.
- the entire arrangement is surrounded by the housing 3 so, that no rotating parts extend outside the housing, which is a positive safety feature.
- the device completely encloses the bearing in the housing despite the fact that slitted sleeve is used as a mounting element.
