END PLAY OR PRELOAD IN BEARING ASSEMBLY

摘要

ANTIFRICTION BEARING WITH MULTIPLE PIECE RACE A rear wheel bearing assembly has a double row of balls and a two piece inner race. One race piece is positioned on the other race piece to give a desired preload or end play and maintained in such position by a pair of semicircular hardened and ground keeper ring parts of selected width. The keeper ring parts engage the one race piece and are retained in a groove of the second race piece by a retainer ring secured to the second race piece by a swaging or rolling operation.
