ROLLER BEARING FOR UNDERWATER APPLICATIONS

摘要

A roller bearing (2) for underwater applications, in particular for underwater turbines, comprises an outer ring (4) and an inner ring (6) arranged in a bearing housing (8) made from a a stainless material. Several roller bodies (14) held in a cage (12) are arranged between the bearing rings (4, 6) on corresponding roller tracks (10), mad from a corrosion-resistant material. In order to save weight for a roller bearing (2), the diameter (D) of which is, in particular between 0.2 and 10 m, at least one of the bearing rings (4, 6) is designed as bearing ring for a thin ring bearing.
