Abstract

A self-aligning Locating type roller bearing is disclosed, and the bearing includes an outer shell, an outer race, an inner race, and a plurality of rollers disposed between the outer race and the inner race. The inner race is provided with two integral collars, and a part of one of the collars is cut out form a roller insertion slot. The rollers are assembled through the roller insertion slot, and, after the completion of the assembling of the rollers, the roller insertion slot is closed with a block. Thus the assembling of the rollers is facilitated, and the collars firmly support the rollers, resulting in that the bearing is capable of withstanding a heavy axial load.

Claims

1. A self-aligning Locating type roller bearing comprising:

an outer shell having a spherical inner face;

an outer race having a spherical outer face and coupled with said outer shell;

an inner race having two integral collars, and coupled with said outer race; and

a plurality of rollers disposed between said outer race and said inner race,

said bearing further comprising;

a roller insertion slot formed by cutting out a part of one of said collars to assemble said rollers through said roller insertion slot; and

a block for being fastened into said roller insertion slot by driving a bolt through a through hole of said block and a screw hole formed on said inner race, the fastening of said block into said roller insertion slot being performed after assembling of said rollers through said roller insertion slot.

2. The self-aligning Locating type roller bearing as claimed in claim 1, wherein said through hole of said block is aligned with said screw hole formed on said inner race.

3. The self-aligning Locating type roller bearing as claimed in any one of claims 1, wherein the shape of said block is same as that of said roller insertion slot.
