STATIONARY BEARING RACE WITH UNIFORM DISTRIBUTION OF WEAR

摘要

A load bearing system with controlled movement of a stationary bearing race to distribute load and wear over the load bearing surface and increase bearing life. The system includes an inner race and an outer race which are predictably rotatable relative to one another about an axis. The system uses oil holes and other holes to place balls and spring loaded ball assemblies to facilitate movement as well as gears strategically placed in the stationary race with timer mechanisms to rotate the races relative to one another as desired.

主权项

1. A rotary bearing system comprising:
inner and outer races which are rotatable relative to one another about an axis, said inner and outer races having bearing elements located in a rolling space between said inner and outer races; at least one lubrication hole in the outer race for distributing lubricant oils; at least one preloaded rolling element located in at least one of the lubrication holes of the outer race; and a bearing housing securing the outer race and adjacent to the at least one preloaded rolling element in at least one of the lubrication holes of the outer race to exert outward force on the bearing housing and create a deflection of the outer race to move or rotate relative to said inner race.
