Abstract
A thrust washer for a bearing assembly of a Hookes universal joint, comprising a central portion (10) and a peripheral portion (13), connected by means which permits the two portions to be displaced axially of the bearing assembly relative to one another as the joint is assembled. With a peripheral portion of greater thickness than the central portion, the thrust washer can be used in place of a conventional thrust washer with a peripheral flange, without requiring careful placing in the bearing cup in a particular orientation during assembly.
Description
HOOKES UNIVERSAL JOINTS
This invention relates generally to Hookes universal joints. A Hookes universal joint, for torque transmission between two shafts or other rotary elements which are required to articulate relative to one another, comprises two yoke members connected respectively to the rotary elements, joined by a cross member having journals supported in the yoke members. In the type of Hookes joint with which the present invention is concerned each journal is supported in a bearing cup held by a yoke part, with needle roller bearings disposed between the circumferential surface of the journal and the circumferential (side) wall of the bearing cup. Such a Hookes joint will hereafter be referred to as a Hookes joint of the type specified.
In such joints, it is usual to provide each bearing cup with a thrust washer disposed between the base wall of the bearing cup and the end surface of the journal received therein. Such a thrust washer is necessary to accommodate forces and prevent any free play from arising along the axis of the journal, i.e. transversely of the joint as a whole. It is usual also for the thrust washer to have a peripheral portion which abuts the ends of the needle roller bearings rather than the end surface of the journal, so that the needle roller bearings occupy a predetermined position in the bearing cup, in the direction axially of the journal. In particular, since the end of the journal usually is formed with a frusto-conical bevelling between its circumferential surface and end surface, the peripheral portion of the thrust washer ensures that the needle roller bearings do not run against such bevelling in use.
Therefore a typical form for the thrust washer has been that of a disc of suitable plastics material, with a central portion and a peripheral portion, of greater thickness than the central portion, in the form of a raised circumferential lip or flange for engaging the ends of the needle roller bearings. However, such a thrust washer has to be carefully inserted into the bearing cup during assembly of the joint, to ensure that its lip or flange extends in the correct direction to engage the needle roller bearings. To ensure such correct assembly of thrust washers requires appreciable care to be taken if the assembly is being performed manually, or introduces additional complexity if the assembly is being carried out by automatic machinery.
Accordingly it is the object of the present invention to provide a thrust washer which reduces the above described disadvantages of hitherto conventional thrust washers, by being capable of carrying out the above described functions whichever way it is placed in the bearing cup.
According to the invention, we provide a thrust washer for a bearing assembly of a Hookes universal joint of the type specified, comprising a central portion for engagement with the end surface of the journal and a peripheral portion for engagement with ends of the needle roller bearings, wherein the peripheral portion of the thrust washer is of different thickness from the central portion thereof, and is connected to the central portion by means permitting the two portions to be displaced axially of the bearing assembly relative to one another.
When a thrust washer according to the invention is in position in a bearing assembly, the freedom of the
central and peripheral portions of the thrust washer to move axially relative to one another enables them to assume positions such that both portions of the thrust washer can lie against the base wall of the bearing cup. Then the peripheral portion, if it is thicker than the central portion, extends sufficiently far from the bottom wall to prevent the needle roller bearings from engaging the bevelled part at the end of the journal, whilst the central portion of the thrust washer is engaged by the end surface of the journal in the usual way.
By analogy with the previous known typical form of thrust washer above described, the peripheral portion of the washer according to the invention is preferably thicker than the central portion thereof. However, the invention also is applicable if for some reason the design of the bearing assembly is such that the peripheral portion of the thrust washer is required to be thinner than the central portion thereof.
A thrust washer according to the invention is preferably an integral moulding of a plastics material, as are previously known forms of thrust washer. Preferably the central and peripheral portions are connected by circumferentially spaced, relatively thin, web portions, separated by circumferentially extending apertures.
Such web portions may be arranged to be deformed to permit the relative axial displacement of the two portions of the thrust washer. However, it would be within the scope of the invention if the nature of the material of the thrust washer were to be relatively brittle, such that- it would be fractured by the relative axial displacement of the two portions of the washer.
Such fracture may occur in a region or regions of weakness, e.g. webs as above referred to, or an appropriately positioned annular region of weakness.
The invention also provides a bearing assembly for a Hookes universal joint, the bearing assembly having a thrust washer according to the invention as above defined. Yet a further aspect of the invention provides a Hookes universal joint having such bearing assemblies.
The invention will now be described by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings, of which:
Figure 1 is a plan view of a thrust washer according to the invention;
Figure 2 is a section through part of the thrust washer;
Figure 3 is a part section through part of a bearing assembly of a Hookes joint, with the thrust washer in position;
Figure 4 is an elevation of a Hookes joint which may have bearing assemblies as shown in Figure 3..
Referring firstly to Figures 1 and 2, the thrust washer there illustrated is a one-piece moulding of a plastics material selected to have suitable bearing properties. By way of example, a suitable grade of nylon, possibly with a suitable filler material, may be utilised as is well known for thrust washers. The washer comprises a central portion 10 which is in the form of an annulus with a central aperture 11, having
circumferentially spaced radially extending grooves 12 in its surface. The grooves 12 provide a reservoir for lubricant. The thrust washer further comprises a peripheral portion 13 which is an annulus with an outer periphery bevelled at 14, connected to the central portion 10 of the washer by a plurality of circumferentially spaced relatively thin webs 15 separated by part-annular apertures 16. The webs 15 are sufficiently thin to enable a small amount of relative movement between the central and peripheral parts of the washer in the direction of the thickness of the washer, i.e. axially of the bearing assembly in which the washer is to be used. The peripheral portion 13 is thicker than the central portion 10.
Referring now to Figure 3, this shows part of a bearing assembly for a Hookes joint. The assembly comprises a bearing cup with a base wall 17 and a circumferential side wall 18. The bearing cup receives a journal 19 of the joint cross member with the intermediary of needle roller bearings one of which is indicated at 20. Also visible in Figure 3- is a frusto-conical bevelling 21 formed at the end of the journal 19 and an annular undercut 22 formed between the internal surfaces of the base and side walls of the bearing cup.
In Figure 3, the thrust washer is shown in the condition it assumes in use. By deformation of webs 15, the peripheral portion 13 of the thrust washer has become displaced relative to the central portion 10 thereof, so that both portions can lie against the flat internal surface of the bottom wall 17 of the bearing cup. The central portion 10 of the thrust washer accommodates axial forces arising between the journal and bearing cup,
whilst the peripheral portion 13 engages the ends of the needle roller bearings 20 and extends sufficiently far from the base wall 17 of the bearing cup to ensure that they do not come in contact with the bevelling 21 on the journal.
Figure 4 shows an example of a Hookes joint which advantageously may have bearing assemblies fitted with thrust washers as above described. The joint comprises a first yoke 25 and a second yoke 26, the former being provided with a flange 27 for bolted connection to a rotatary element and the latter being welded to a shaft part 28. The yokes 25, 26 are joined by a cross-member 29 whose journals are supported in bearing assemblies held by the yoke members. Visible in Figure 4 is a circlip 30 by which the bearing cup is held in the respective limb of yoke 25, the circlip engaging the base wall of the bearing cup.
It would be within the scope of the invention if the material of the thrust washer were to be brittle, so that the webs 15 fracture rather than deform as the peripheral portion of the washer displaces relative to the central portion thereof.
