Bearing device with a radial rolling bearing.

摘要

The bearing device can be installed as a fixed location bearing (12) or as a floating bearing (13). The only difference here is in each case the orientation of an annular inner part (3) of the housing relative to an outer part (2) of the housing. This inner part (3) has a convex and spherical inner side which corresponds in shape to a spherical outer surface of a ball bearing (1). In the case of the fixed location bearing (12), the inner part (3) of the housing is inserted in such a way that this part is fixed in an axially non-displaceable manner by an integrally formed flange. In the case of the floating bearing (13), the inner part (3) of the housing is inserted in a position rotated through 180 DEG , allowing the inner part (3) of the housing to be displaced axially in the outer part (2) of the housing. In both cases, the ball bearing (1) can adjust in the bearing housing (2, 3) with a swivelling motion about the bearing centre. Installation tolerances and flexures of a shaft (9) can thereby be compensated and wear of the bearing correspondingly reduced.
