Ball bearing system for internal combustion engine turbochargers |
摘要 |
A ball bearing system for use with engine turbochargers dampens axial and radial thrust loads of a turbocharger and enhances performance and longevity. The system includes a bearing carrier with an aperture to house a shaft having a compressor wheel affixed to a first end of the shaft and a turbine wheel affixed to a second end of the shaft, the bearing carrier being able to house a plurality of bearings in contact with the shaft, an outer housing member connected to the shaft to enclose the bearing carrier, and a first O-ring and a second O-ring both disposed within grooves around the outer surface area of the bearing carrier, each O-ring also in contact with a corresponding groove in the interior of the outer housing member. The O-rings dampen the axial and radial loads of the rotating shaft of the turbocharger. |

1. A ball bearing system for use with high speed engine turbochargers, the ball bearing system being configured to dampen axial and radial thrust loads of a turbocharger and enhance performance and longevity of the turbocharger, the ball bearing system comprising:
a bearing carrier comprising an aperture configured to house a shaft comprising a compressor wheel affixed to a first end of the shaft and a turbine wheel affixed to a second end of the shaft, the bearing carrier further being configured to house a plurality of bearings in contact with the shaft to allow a rotation of the shaft; an outer housing member operably connected to the shaft and configured to enclose the bearing carrier; and a first O-ring and a second O-ring both disposed within grooves around the outer surface area of the bearing carrier, each O-ring also in contact with a corresponding groove in the interior of the outer housing member, wherein the O-rings are configured to dampen the axial and radial loads of the rotating shaft of the turbocharger. |
