CAGE SEGMENT OF A TAPERED ROLLER BEARING, AND TAPERED ROLLER BEARING

摘要

A first rolling-element guided cage segment of a tapered roller bearing has first and second circumferential ends and first and second mutually opposing circumferential bridges extending between the circumferential ends and first and second mutually opposing connecting bridges connecting the first and second circumferential bridges. Inner pocket sides of the circumferential bridges and the connecting bridges form a pocket for receiving a rolling element. A first positioning aid is located at the first circumferential end and a second positioning aid is located at the second circumferential end, the positioning aids being configured such that a correct-position arrangement of adjacent cage segments is recognizable from the interaction of the first positioning aid and the second positioning aid.

主权项

1. A cage segment of a tapered roller bearing for rotatably supporting a first machine part relative to a second machine part, the cage segment including:
two mutually opposing circumferential bridges, which each extend between a first circumferential end and a second circumferential end of the cage segment, and at least two mutually opposing connecting bridges, which connect the two circumferential bridges to each other and, together with the circumferential bridges, form at least one pocket for accommodating a conical rolling element, wherein the circumferential bridges and the connecting bridges have pocket sides which delimit the pocket, the connecting bridges each have, on their pocket sides, a concave first guide surface and a concave second guide surface for partially enclosing a rolling element in its circumferential direction, the circumferential bridges and the connecting bridges which are disposed in the region of the first circumferential end and of the second circumferential end have peripheral sides opposing the pocket sides, the cage segment includes a first positioning aid in the region of the first circumferential end and a second positioning aid in the region of the second circumferential end wherein the first positioning aid and the second positioning aid are disposed relative to each other such that a correct-position arrangement of adjacent cage segments relative to each other in the tapered roller bearing is recognizable from the interaction of the first positioning aid and the second positioning aid of these cage segments and the cage segment is rolling-element guided.
