Ball bearing for driven wheels of vehicle - has safety ring in groove to limit axial play of bearing

摘要

The bearing for the driven wheels of a vehicle in which the outer bearing race (3) of an inclined ball bearing (1) is axially secured to the housings (13) by a stop ring (17) which engages a ring groove (18) in the housings. The ring above has such a width and such a diameter that as a result of axial displacement, the ring lies against the outer bearing race and the annular union (22) of the housing is axially deformed towards the interior. ADVANTAGE - Bearing which effectively eliminates any axial play in the outer bearing race.
