THREADED BEARING CUP ANTI-ROTATIONAL LOCKING DEVICE

摘要

A bearing assembly with an anti-rotational device configured to prevent turning, unthreading, or loosening of a stationary tapered roller bearing outer race 10 having threaded outer surfaces 10a, 14a used for bearing adjustment, axial shaft retention, and axial thrust load transfer. The bearing assembly includes an annular ring 16 secured to, and extending radially outward from an axial face 18 of the bearing outer race 10. Following rotational adjustment and axial positioning of the bearing, the annular ring 16 is positively engaged by one or more attachment points 14 associated with a stationary housing 12, thereby securing the bearing outer race 10 against further axial and rotational movement.
