ADJUSTABLE FRICTION TORQUE BEARING UNIT FOR PROVIDING A BRAKING FUNCTION

摘要

The invention relates to a device for controlling the friction torque of a bearing, the control of the friction torque allowing the targeted generation of braking forces in the bearing. The invention is characterized in that the device is integrated into the bearing. Preferably, the bearing is a rolling-element bearing comprising a rolling element bearing cage (03) on the side ring of which a brake disk (05) is fastened that can be brought into frictional contact with a brake lining (06) arranged on the outer ring (01) of the rolling-element bearing.
