Definitions
- the invention relates to a tunnel roller.
- the invention relates to a tunnel roll having a longitudinal slot extending at an angle to an axis of the tunnel roll in its wall.
- the longitudinal slot in the tunnel roller runs in the wall of the tunnel roller.
- the longitudinal slot in the wall of the tunnel roll extends from a first end of the tunnel roll to a second end of the tunnel roll.
- Tunnel rollers have an oversize and a hollow bore.
- the slightly larger in diameter tunnel rollers lead to a bias in the bearing and take over the drive of the bearing cage and thus the entire set of rollers at low load, ie falls below a certain minimum load to which the bearing is designed.
- a longitudinal slot in the tunnel rollers ensures that at higher loads, the enlarged tunnel rollers easily spring in, ie give way and therefore do not have to bear any overload. The load is then evenly distributed to all rolling elements in the bearing as in a conventional bearing.
- Swiss Patent CH 278692 discloses an elastically compliant roller bearing.
- all rollers arranged in the roller bearing are designed as tunnel rollers.
- the tunnel rollers are provided with a longitudinal slot which extends helically from one end of the bearing to the other end of the bearing.
- the tunnel rollers are provided with a longitudinal slot which extends helically from one end of the bearing to the other end of the bearing.
- the embodiment shown here sweeps the helical Longitudinal slot a center angle with respect to the cross section of the tunnel roller of more than 180 degrees in the course of one end of the bearing to the other end of the camp out.
- the invention has for its object to provide a tunnel roller for a play-free needle roller bearing, which minimizes rolling noise in the needle bearing and even has a long life.
- tunnel rollers As a tunnel roller in this case hollow rollers, preferably hollow cylindrical rollers to understand. At least one of these tunnel rollers is arranged per row of rolling elements in the circumferential direction between the rollers of the roller bearing. Since the tunnel rollers are hollow cylindrical, they are more elastic than the other rollers, the Grundgroper is filled by their material. Tunnel rollers therefore have noise damping properties.
- the tunnel roller according to the invention is provided with a longitudinal slot extending at an angle to an axis of the tunnel roller in a wall of the tunnel roller. The longitudinal slot extends from a first end of the tunnel roller to a second end of the tunnel roller.
- the tunnel roller is designed in such a way that it sweeps over a center point angle with respect to the cross section of the tunnel roller of 360 °, preferably of less than 180 °, on the outer wall of the tunnel roller.
- the entire circumference of the lateral surface is described in arbitrary cross sections (transverse to the axis of rotation of the tunnel roller) by a full angle of 360 °.
- the invention thus provides that the slot runs in its course from the beginning to the end so that it covers the lateral surface once in the circumferential direction.
- the embodiment of the invention provides that the slot extends over less than half of the lateral surface, ie from the first end to the second end of the tunnel roller along the wall of the tunnel roller a center angle ( ⁇ ) with respect to the cross section of the tunnel roller of less than 180 ° sweeps ,
- the midpoint angle can also be referred to as a partial angle from the full angle or full angle of a circle.
- the circle line is the circumferential line of the roll.
- the tunnel roller is elastically yielding and their damping behavior even better than that of a closed hollow roller.
- the inventive arrangement has by limiting the angle to max. 360 °, preferably 180 °, with which the slot sweeps over the roller, the advantage that the number of contact points compared to this known prior art is greatly reduced and thus the risks of increased wear are less.
- European patent application EP 1 921 334 A2 shows a needle bearing. At least one needle of the needle bearing is designed elastically-yielding, if a load is exerted on the outer surface of the needle bearing.
- the elastically deformable needle has a slightly larger outer diameter than the other non-elastically deformable needles.
- the elastic compliance of the needles is achieved in that the needles have a hollow bore and along the length of the needles parallel to the generatrices and the axis of rotation a longitudinal slot is introduced, which runs straight along the wall of the needle.
- the thus formed elastic compliant needle has the one disadvantage that the straight slot is in the rolling movement of the bearing over its entire length with the edges of the slot in rolling contact with the Wälzlaufbahn.
- Such rolling bearings are only slightly resilient and may rotate only at low speeds or only pivot, because the edge contact in the rolling contact generates very high voltage peaks, whereby the rollers and Wälzlaufbahn can be damaged.
- the slot once per revolution on each of the Wälzlaufbahn generates disturbing noises.
- the limitation on the peripheral region also has an advantageous effect on the production of a tunnel roll of this type, which in this case can be bent from flat material.
- the cut ends of the cylindrically curved flat material are fed to one another at the slot.
- tunnel rollers with a slot extending over a full angle of 360 ° or several times around the circumference have to be spirally wound in the beginning, which can have a detrimental effect on the accuracy of the dimensions of the tunnel roller or increase the expense of producing precise rollers.
- Roller bearings are roller bearings with rollers as rolling elements.
- the rolling bearings have an inner raceway and an outer raceway, between which a row or more axially adjacent rows of rolling elements are arranged in the circumferential direction about an axis of rotation successively.
- the raceways are optionally on the surface of bearing rings, ie the inner raceways are on the surface of outer rings and the outer raceways are at the O-ring bercharacterization of inner rings, or formed directly on portions of the surface, on inner or outer surfaces.
- rollers such as needles or cylindrical rollers.
- Rollers are formed outside cylindrically in their basic form and provided with two end faces. They have either from the outer cylindrical shape deviating slightly convex lateral surfaces.
- the end faces are either flat or convex or concave.
- Needles are roller-like rolling elements with a ratio of their length to the nominal diameter of the lateral surface which is greater than or equal to the numerical value 3. For cylindrical rollers, this ratio is smaller.
- the longitudinal slot extends in the radial direction continuously through the wall, and thus breaks them once in the circumferential direction once completely.
- the angles need not be equal to each other in the course of the slot. It may therefore also be that the slot is curved or jagged or arbitrarily deflects the direction alternately because it deflects in any direction and at different angles from the parallel line.
- the tunnel roller is elastically yielding and their damping behavior even better than that of a closed hollow roller.
- the tunnel rollers elastically spring under load in a contact zone and roll on this, which can be described with a contact line with line contact on the Wälzlaufbahnen, the contact line is aligned in the ideal case parallel to the axis of rotation of the tunnel roller.
- the advantage of the oblique orientation of the slot is that upon rotation of the bearing and rolling the tunnel roller not the entire slot at once in Line contact with the / the respective Wälzlaufbahnen is, but only the part of the slot at the intersection with the contact line. This prevents wear and reduces noise.
- the ratio of outer diameter to wall thickness determines the elasticity with which the tunnel roll is formed.
- the tunnel roller must be resilient enough to be mounted under preload in the camp and to spring under high loads on the diameter of the other rollers.
- the tunnel roller must also be stiff enough to ensure the freedom of play of the radial bearing.
- the tunnel roll therefore has an outer diameter and a wall thickness whose quotient of the wall thickness and the outer diameter gives a value between 0.04 to 0.2.
- the type of roll is determined by a ratio of the length of the tunnel roll to the outside diameter. In addition, this ratio also has an influence on the stiffness or elasticity, if the wall thickness is taken into account. The longer the roll, the stiffer it is. The shorter the more elastic is their reaction. Thus, it is conceivable to influence the rigidity of the tunnel rollers and thus the degree of play adjustment of the roller bearing in that the tunnel roller (s) in the bearing are longer or shorter than the usual roles.
- the quotient of the length of the tunnel roll and its outer diameter preferably corresponds to a value of 0.8 to 4.0.
- the slot must be so wide in the circumferential direction that the tunnel rollers can freely deflect radially and circumferentially to the radial dimension of the other rollers.
- the longitudinal slot attached in the outer wall of the tunnel roller therefore preferably has a width of 0.1 mm up to 0.7 mm.
- the material from which the tunnel roll is made may be 16mnCr5 or Ct45 or 100Cr6 or 100CrMn6.
- the camp has a cage, which has a variety of needles and optionally one, two or at least three tunnel rollers.
- the at least three tunnel rollers are distributed equally distributed on the circumference of the cage.
- the tunnel roller joins the circumference in a row with the usual roles or is located axially next to the row with the usual roles. It is equally conceivable that the roller bearing has two rows of rollers, of which at least one tunnel roller is arranged in at least one row. Alternatively, several tunnel rollers form their own row axially adjacent to one row with the other rollers of the roller bearing.
- a further embodiment of the invention provides that the slotted tunnel roller has a larger outer diameter than the rollers.
- the roller bearing is a radial bearing in which essentially only radial forces are supported. Due to manufacturing tolerances and for reasons of installability radial bearings are always provided with a radial clearance. Disadvantages of the storage result from the fact that the rollers in bearings of the previously known prior art are often arranged radially to this game between the tracks movable - which can lead to unwanted noise and wear.
- the amount by which the nominal diameter of a tunnel roller in the roller bearing with only one tunnel roller is greater than that of the other rollers is equal to or greater than the maximum radial clearance.
- the amount by which the tunnel rollers in a roller bearing with at least two, better three, the tunnel rollers are each larger than the nominal diameter of the remaining rollers corresponds to at least half of the radial clearance or more.
- the tunnel roller or the tunnel rollers are radially biased, whereby these spring in and fit into the annular gap between the Wälzlaufbahnen.
- the slot is so wide that the circumference of the tunnel roller can be reduced by radial compression at least on the circumference of the other rollers of the roller bearing, so that as a configuration of Invention provides, the outer diameter of the tunnel roller under load elastically on the diameter of the rollers einfederbar.
- the radial play in the bearing is elastically bridged with the tunnel roller or with the tunnel rollers, so that the disturbing noises are avoided.
- the outer diameter of the tunnel rollers act at low load, that is falls below a certain minimum load on the needle roller bearings without play with the Wälzlaufbahn on a shaft or in a bore or running surface of a bearing ring of the needle bearing together.
- the tunnel rollers are compressed by the elastischiebgiebige property, which is given by the longitudinal slot, and the remaining needles of the needle bearing cooperate with the Wälzlaufbahn of the bearing ring.
- the outer ring and the inner ring of the roller or needle roller bearing can be made both machined and non-cutting.
- FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view of one end of the tunnel roll according to the invention.
- Figure 2 is a longitudinal section along the axis of the tunnel roller according to the invention.
- 3 is a side view of the tunnel roller according to the invention, in which the longitudinal slot runs along the wall of the tunnel roller according to the invention: 4 shows a section along the axis of a needle bearing with machined outer ring, in which the tunnel roller according to the invention is used;
- FIG. 5 shows a section perpendicular to the axis of the needle bearing of Figure 4, in which at least three of the tunnel rollers according to the invention are mounted in a cage.
- FIG. 6 shows a section parallel through a needle bearing with non-cutting produced outer ring, in which the tunnel rollers according to the invention are used in a cage.
- identical reference numerals are used.
- the illustrated embodiment represents only one way in which the tunnel roller according to the invention can be configured.
- the illustrated use of the tunnel roll according to the invention in a needle bearing is only one possible embodiment of many.
- An embodiment of a roller bearing 20 is shown with the figures 4, 5 and 6, wherein Figure 6 shows a longitudinal section of a roller bearing 20 along its axis of rotation, which has a needle sleeve with the inner race 27 as the outer ring 25.
- the tunnel rollers 10 are lined up on the circumference in a row with the usual rollers 24 a.
- the roller bearing 20 in Figure 6 has a further row, which is formed only by three of the tunnel rollers 10, which are shorter than the other rollers 24, and which are guided in a separate cage 25a in the needle sleeve.
- the roller bearing 25 according to Figures 4 and 5, Figure 4 shows a longitudinal and Figure 5 is a cross section, has an outer ring 25 with the inner race 27, which is solid and machined made.
- the roller bearing 20 has rollers 24 in the form of needles and three evenly circumferentially distributed tunnel rollers 10 (tunnel needles), which are all held in a cage 22.
- the outer diameter 12 of each tunnel roller 10 is greater than the outer diameter 13 of each of the rollers 24. This results in the assumption that all rollers 10 and 24 on the outside of the outer raceway 27 of the outer ring 25, a difference between the rotational center of the 15 Roller bearing 20 outgoing radii 9 and 8, which corresponds to at least half of the maximum radial clearance of the built-in bearing a roller bearing 20.
- Figures 1, 2 and 3 show a single of the tunnel rollers 10 in Figure 1 in a front view, in Figure 2 in a longitudinal section along its axis of rotation 2 and in Figure 3 in a side view.
- the tunnel roller 10 with the length 16 is hollow cylindrical with a wall thickness 14 and has a slot 6 of width 18, which extends continuously radially and axially from one end 101 of the tunnel roller 10 to the other end 102 of the tunnel roller 10 in the wall 4, so that the slot 6 is also open at the axial ends 61 and 62 of the front end of the tunnel roller 10 - whereby the wall 4 is once divided on the circumference by the slot 6.
- the ratio of the length 16 of the tunnel roller 10 to its non-elastically spring-loaded outer diameter 12 is 0.8 to 0.4 mm.
- the ratio of the wall thickness 14 to the non-elastically spring-loaded outer diameter 12 of the tunnel roller 10 is 0.04 to 02.
- the width 18 of the slot 6 is 0.1 mm to 0.7 mm at the narrowest point.
- the longitudinal slot 6 is inclined between the first end (101) and the second end (102) at any point of its course at angles ( ⁇ ) to the axis of rotation (2), which may be the same or different from one another.
- the circumference of the lateral surface of the tunnel roller 10, viewed in cross-section of the tunnel roller 10, corresponds to a full angle of 360 °.
- the slot 6 extends from its end 61 to its other end 62 over a partial circumferential area which is described by a maximum angle and in this case by a partial angle ( ⁇ ) of the full angle, which is less than 180 °.
