Axial bearing for machinery - has slide cushion between slide face and circumferential face of cage forming lubricant-filled gap.

摘要

The rolling bodies (3) are guided on associated tracks between two axial bearing discs. On the outer (5) or inner circumferential face of the cage (1) are slide cushions (4) which each form a wedge-shaped gap (7) with a slide face (8) opposite the outer or inner face. The gap is filled with lubricant. The outer or inner circumference of the cage is designed as a polygon inscribed in a circle. The surfaces of the slide cushions are wedged towards the opposite slide face and have a planar contour in the direction of the rolling bodies. USE/ADVANTAGE - Reduced friction between cage and radial faces. Increased hydrodynamic pressure to absorb force.
