Antifriction bearing construction

摘要

A roller bearing construction is provided for use between a crank-shaft and a connecting rod wherein the bearing assembly has lubricating oil sealed therein. In such application, centrifical force causes oil to move in a circular pattern tending to take a position radially remote from the inner race. Internal walls or baffles are provided that partially break up such oil movement, the walls or baffles being so constructed that some of the oil can pass therethrough to an adjacent compartment and other oil is directed through a channel to discharge near the inner race. Appropriate seals and heat dissipation means are included in the bearing assembly.
