Method of constructing an assembly with a roller bearing to avoid fretting corrosion

摘要

In a rolling bearing assembly including at least two contact metal surfaces, such as a rolling bearing engaging a housing and a shaft, a homogeneous elastic layer is fixedly applied to one of said contacting surfaces, the outer surface of this layer having high density and extreme smoothness for full intimate contact with the contacting metal surface to avoid fretting corrosion between said contacting metal surfaces.
