Conical roller cage for conical roller bearing - comprises inner and outer ring crowns, and rib crown for distancing rollers and connection of both crowns which have cylindrical edges

摘要

The cage is fitted on the inner ring of the bearing, and the lower surface of the inner crown is in contact with the track crown of smaller dia. of the inner ring, whilst the lower surface of the outer crown is in contact with the track crown of greater dia. of the inner ring. The equally spaced ribs are located in accordance with the cover lines of an imaginary cone adapted to the ring crowns. On each rib is a pair of vanes which are spread upwards. The vanes are sprung inwards, render possible the insertion of a cone roller in the empty space between two successive ribs. In operation, the blunt conical rollers roll, making contact with the inner and outer rings of the bearing, so that a convenient relative rotation occurs between these two components.
