METHOD FOR INSTALLING A DOUBLE BEARING IN A CASTING, WHEEL COMPRISING A DOUBLE BEARING, AND JOINT WITH DOUBLE BEARING
First Claim
1. A method for installing a double bearing in a casting, which double bearing comprises at least two bearing units that are essentially similar to each other, wherein the method comprises the steps of:
- forming a double bearing by disposing two bearings next to each other side-by-side and by placing a separator that forms a gap between the bearings such that the separator rests on the outer surface of the outer rim of at least one bearing and the separator part of the separator is disposed between the side surfaces that face each other of the outer rims of the bearings;
placing the formed double bearing in the casting mold in the correct position; and
casting around the double bearing.

Abstract
A method for installing a casting double bearing in a casting, and a wheel manufactured according to the method are provided. The double bearing includes at least two bearing units that are essentially similar. The method includes at least the following phases: a double bearing is formed by disposing two bearings next to each other side-by-side and by placing a separator that forms a gap between the bearings such that the separator rests on at least one of outer surface of the outer rim of a bearing, and the separator part of the separator is disposed between the side surfaces that face each other of the outer rims of the bearings; the formed double bearing is placed in the casting mold in the correct position; and the casting is cast around the double bearing

5. A wheel comprising:
-
at least a hub comprising a center hole; a double bearing disposed in the center hole of the hub, the double bearing having two bearing units; and a separator having a support part and a separator part, the support part resting on an outer surface of an outer rim of at least one bearing unit, the separator part extending inwards between the two bearing units towards an axis of rotation of the double bearing and bearing against side surfaces of the two bearing units, which are facing each other, wherein the two bearing units of the double bearing are separated from each other in the axial direction by the separator, and an inner corner of the separator formed between the support part and the separator part does not rest on an outer corner of said at least one bearing unit formed between the outer surface of the outer rim and the side surface, so that a gap is formed between the inner corner of the separator and the outer corner of said at least one bearing unit. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 19, 20)

15. A joint comprising:
-
a jointed piece having a bearing hole; a double bearing disposed in the bearing hole, the double bearing having two bearing units; and a separator having a support part and a separator part, the support part resting on an outer surface of an outer rim of at least one bearing unit, the separator part extending inwards between the two bearing units towards an axis of rotation of the double bearing and bearing against side surfaces of the two bearing units, which are facing each other, wherein the two bearing units of the double bearing are separated from each other in the axial direction by the separator, and an inner corner of the separator formed between the support part and the separator part does not rest on an outer corner of said at least one bearing unit formed between the outer surface of the outer rim and the side surface, so that a gap is formed between the inner corner of the separator and the outer corner of said at least one bearing unit.
