TENSIONER AND METHOD FOR PRELOADING A BEARING

摘要

A tensioner for preloading a bearing, the bearing including a first bearing ring and a second bearing ring and being configured to transmit a preload force in a radial direction and/or in an axial direction between the first bearing ring and the second bearing ring, the tensioner including a component coupled to the first bearing ring, a support element for supporting the component relative to the second bearing ring such that a closed force flow arises from the first bearing ring via the component and the support element to the second bearing ring, and a sleeve disposed in an axially displaceable manner between the first bearing ring and the component, the sleeve being configured to change the preload force in response to an axial displacement of the sleeve with respect to the component.

1. A tensioner for preloading a bearing, the bearing including a first bearing ring and a second bearing ring and being configured to transmit a preload force in a radial direction and/or in an axial direction between the first bearing ring and the second bearing ring, the tensioner comprising:
a component coupled to the first bearing ring; a support element for supporting the component relative to the second bearing ring such that a closed force flow arises from the first bearing ring via the component and the support element to the second bearing ring; and a sleeve disposed in an axially displaceable manner between the first bearing ring and the component, the sleeve being configured to change the preload force in response to an axial displacement of the sleeve with respect to the component.
