Double-row roller bearing

摘要

Provided is a double-row roller bearing, which is capable of suppressing a frictional force from being increased due to variation in force of press contact between outer and inner rings and rollers to enable smoother relative rotational movement between the outer ring and the inner ring, and is also suitable for downsizing and higher in versatility.

主权项

1. A double-row roller bearing, comprising:
an inner ring; an outer ring; a plurality of rollers arranged between the inner ring and the outer ring, wherein one of an inner peripheral surface of the outer ring and an outer peripheral surface of the inner ring includes a pair of lateral protruding portions continuous along a circumferential direction which are formed at an interval in a direction of a rotation axis, wherein the other of the inner peripheral surface of the outer ring and the outer peripheral surface of the inner ring includes an intermediate protruding portion continuous along the circumferential direction, which is formed so as to be positioned between the pair of lateral protruding portions, wherein the pair of lateral protruding portions and the intermediate protruding portion positioned between the pair of lateral protruding portions define a pair of roller rolling passages between the outer ring and the inner ring, wherein the intermediate protruding portion and the pair of lateral protruding portion are formed so as to have the same thickness, wherein both lateral surfaces of the intermediate protruding portion and inner surfaces of the pair of lateral protruding portions, which face both the lateral surfaces of the intermediate protruding portion, comprise pairs of first rolling surfaces formed perpendicularly to the rotation axis of the outer ring and the inner ring, wherein the inner peripheral surface of the outer ring and the outer peripheral surface of the inner ring comprise pairs of second rolling surfaces formed in parallel to the rotation axis so as to intersect with the pairs of first rolling surfaces, wherein, respectively along the outer ring and the inner ring, the pairs of first rolling surfaces and the pairs of second rolling surfaces define pairs of raceway grooves each having an L-shape in cross-section and facing each other to form the pair of roller rolling passages, wherein the pairs of second rolling surfaces of the inner ring is positioned equidistant from the rotation axis of the inner ring, wherein four imaginary lines connecting four imaginary intersections defined by extending the pairs of first rolling surfaces and the pairs of second rolling surfaces, which surround the pair of roller rolling passages, have the same length, wherein the pair of roller rolling passages each have a square shape in cross-section perpendicular to the circumferential direction, and wherein the plurality of rollers comprise:
first rollers configured to roll on the pairs of first rolling surfaces; andsecond rollers having the same shape as a shape of the first rollers and configured to roll on the pairs of second rolling surfaces,the first rollers and the second rollers being arranged in a mixed manner in each of the pair of roller rolling passages.
