AXIALLY ADJUSTABLE AXIAL ANTIFRICTION BEARING UNIT, AND HYDRODYNAMIC TORQUE CONVERTER COMPRISING THE SAME

摘要

The invention relates to an axially adjustable axial antifriction bearing unit (1) comprising at least one thrust race (2) that has a radially extending section (3), along which a plurality of rolling elements (8) roll that are guided within a cage (9). According to the invention, said unit (1) is characterized in that the thrust race (2) is captively connected to a spring element (10) which resiliently bridges an area (x) between the radially extending section (3) of the thrust race (2) and a connecting structure (12). The invention particularly has the advantage of ideally compensating manufacturing tolerances by means of the spring effect of the axial antifriction bearing unit (1), said manufacturing tolerances becoming relevant when several gear components are assembled.
