SPACER DEVICE FOR ROLLER ELEMENTS IN A TOROIDAL ROLLER BEARING

摘要

The present invention relates to a spacer device (1) for roller elements (11) in a toroidal roller bearing (10), and a method for manufacturing a toroidal roller bearing comprising a plurality of spacer devices, which toroidal roller bearing allows for axial and angular displacement between an inner and outer bearing ring. The spacer device comprises a first and second roller- contacting surfaces (2, 3) having a concave shape adapted to conform with respective convex contacting surfaces of the toroidal roller elements, and at least one axial end portion (4) which is elastically deformable.
