AN ANTI-FRICTION BEARING, ESPECIALLY FOR A WHEEL OF A MOTOR VEHICLE

摘要

In order to keep at least part of the axial and tilting forces that act on a bearing away from the stub shaft supporting the bearing rollers, the inner ring of the bearing is constructed of two sections (2) (3) that support individual sets of ball bearings. The inner ring sections abut one another in a plane perpendicular to the bearing rotational axis. One of these inner ring sections (3) is force fitted on the stub shaft at the free end thereof and has a larger cross section than the other inner ring section (2). A necked-down bolt and mating closure nut, the latter being adjacent inner ring section (3), cooperate to maintain the other bearing elements assembled in operative relationship.
