BEARING ASSEMBLY

摘要

A non-locating bearing assembly is configured to rotatably support a shaft relative to a housing while permitting relative axial displacement of the shaft relative to the housing. The bearing assembly includes a bearing having inner and outer rings and that is configured for transmitting radial and axial forces, and a bearing support attachable to the housing and including a support section having a partially cylindrical seat surface for receiving one of the inner and outer bearing rings and forming a sliding seat therefor. The sliding seat allows a relative axial displacement between the support section and one of the inner and outer bearing rings. A spring is disposed on or in the bearing support for generating a force in the axial direction between the bearing support and the one of the inner and outer bearing rings, and the spring element is formed from a segment of the bearing support.

主权项

1. A bearing assembly having a non-locating-bearing function, and configured to rotatably support a first component relative to a second component while permitting relative axial displacement of the first and second components,
the bearing assembly comprising: a bearing having an inner ring and an outer ring and being configured for transmitting radial and axial forces, wherein at least one of the inner ring and the outer ring includes an at least partially cylindrical surface a bearing support, which includes a support section having an at least partially cylindrical seat surface configured for receiving the at least one of the inner and outer bearing rings, and forming a sliding seat for the at least one of the inner and outer bearing rings, which allows a relative displacing in the an axial direction between the support section and the at least one of the inner and outer bearing rings, wherein the bearing support includes centering means for centering the bearing support relative to one of the first and second components, wherein the bearing support includes attachment means to be attached to one of the first and second components wherein a spring element is disposed on or in the bearing support, the spring element being configured for generating a spring force in the axial direction between the bearing support and the at least one of the inner and outer bearing rings, the spring element being formed from a segment of the bearing support.
