Lock structure of spherical bearing and lock method thereof

摘要

A lock structure of a spherical bearing (1) restrains an outer race from turning relative to a housing (2) with a simple structure. It is provided with protruding portions (4) formed on a periphery of one side of a bearing hole (3) of the housing. A flange (6) is formed on one side of the outer race (5). Meanwhile notches (7) (engagement portions) are formed in the flange (6), which are brought into engagement with the protruding portions (4). An annular V-shaped groove (9) (staking groove) formed in the other side of the outer race (5) is staked. With such a simplified structure, the spherical bearing (1) can be locked to the housing (2) while being restrained from turning relative thereto. <IMAGE>
