MULTIPLE-ROW ANGULAR CONTACT ANTIFRICTION BEARING, PARTICULARLY FOR MOUNTING THE BEVEL PINION SHAFT IN A MOTOR VEHICLE REAR AXLE DIFFERENTIAL

摘要

The multiple-row angular contact antifriction bearing has an outer bearing ring, an inner bearing ring, and roll bodies, which are arranged at least in two rows next to one another between the bearing rings. The roll bodies are ball discs having two lateral surfaces that are symmetrically flattened from a spherical basic shape whose raceways are arranged inside the bearing rings, abutting against one another so that the respectively adjacent roll bodies of each row have their lateral surface pointing toward one another and arranged directly next to one another on a transversal axis situated at a right angle to the pressure angle axes. These lateral surfaces also provide mutual guide surfaces.
