ROLLING BEARING HAVING A RETAINING ELEMENT

摘要

A locking device for maintaining the split inner ring of a bearing in assembled relation during shipment and handling prior to installation. The locking device is of generally rectangular shape and is made of a resilient elastically deformable material so that it is readily inserted and removed from the inner ring bore. When seated in place it exerts a clamping action in a radial direction by spring action and contacts in the bore of both inner ring parts of the bearing.
