High-Capacity Bearing

摘要

A high load capacity bearing that includes a cylindrical outer sleeve that fits around a separable cylindrical outer race assembly. The outer race assembly includes a set of non-helical grooves formed on its inside surface that mesh and engage teeth formed on the outside surface of a plurality of rotating rollers that are longitudinally and axially aligned inside the outer race assembly. The rollers are longitudinally aligned and evenly space apart and rotated as a unit inside the outer race assembly. Located in side the rollers is an inner race with non-helical grooves formed on its outside surface that mesh and engage the teeth on the rollers. The inner race includes a smooth inside bore that fits around the support surface on a shaft.

1. A high load capacity and easy to assemble bearing that is mounted on a load supporting section of a shaft, comprising:
a. a cylindrical outer race assembly made of at least two outer race half cylindrical to sections, each half cylindrical section includes a plurality of inward facing, non-helical grooves; b. a rotating roller assembly coaxially aligned and located inside said outer race assembly, said roller assembly includes a plurality of rollers that are evenly spaced apart and longitudinally with said outer race assembly, each said roller includes a plurality of non-helical teeth; c. a cylindrical outer sleeve disposed around said outer race assembly that holds said half cylindrical sections together around said roller assembly; and d. means for transferring a load force between a load support section of said shaft and said rollers.
