Description

       

  Kunststoff     käfig    für     Wählager       Man stellt Käfige für Wälzlager bereits aus Poly  amiden und dergleichen Kunststoffen her, um deren  Vorteile, nämlich hohe     Abriebfestigkeit    und gute  Gleit- und     Nolaufeigenschaft,    auszunutzen. Ausser  dem laufen Lager, die unter Verwendung solcher  Kunststoffe hergestellt werden, wesentlich geräusch  ärmer als reine Metallager. Nun haben diese Kunst  stoffe die nachteilige Eigenschaft, Feuchtigkeit auf  zunehmen und damit zu schwellen     bzw.    bei Feuchtig  keitsabgabe zu schrumpfen. Hierdurch ist die Füh  rung der Wälzkörper in ihrer Genauigkeit gefährdet.  



  Man hat daher bereits     Kunststoffkäfige    mit einem  metallischen Kern, der mit einer Kunststoffauflage  allseitig umgeben ist, hergestellt. Zu diesem Zweck       musste    der Metallkern die endgültige     Käfigform    ha  ben, der dann vorzugsweise im Tauchverfahren mit  einer gleichmässig dicken Kunststoffauflage umgeben  wird.  



  Diese Ausführung hat noch folgenden Nachteil:  Falls die Kunststoffauflage so dick gehalten wird<B>'</B>     dass     eine Geräuschdämpfung erzielt wird, dann ist die  Auflage an den Stellen hoher Führungsgenauigkeit  noch so dick,     dass    durch Quellen oder Schrumpfen  die Führungsgenauigkeit beeinträchtigt wird. Auf  diese Weise kann man Präzisionslager nicht her  stellen.  



  Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt nun die Auf  gabe zu Grunde, die genannten Nachteile der Kunst  stoffkäfige zu beheben, ohne ihre guten Eigenschaf  ten zu vermindern oder sogar zu, beseitigen.  



  Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft einen Kunst  stoffkäfig für Wälzlager, bei dem ein metallischer  Kern allseitig mit einer Kunststoffauflage umgeben  ist. Der erfindungsgemässe Käfig ist dadurch gekenn  zeichnet,     dass    die Kunststoffauflage formgenau um  den Kern gespritzt ist und mindestens an den Stellen    hoher Führungsgenauigkeit dünner gehalten ist. Da  auf diese Weise     die    Masse des Kunststoffes bedeutend  herabgesetzt wird, wird die mit der Feuchtigkeitsauf  nahme     bzw.        -abgabe    verbundene     Quellung    und  Schrumpfung so sehr gemindert,     dass    sie sich nicht  mehr störend auf die     Passgenauigkeit    und gute Füh  rung auswirkt.

   Diese Verbundausführung     Kunststoff-          Metall    hat noch den Vorzug, schwingungsfrei zu sein,  da die beiden Werkstoffe verschiedene Schwingungs  frequenzen haben. Hierdurch wird die     Lau#fruhe        we-          senthch    gesteigert.  



  In der Zeichnung ist die Erfindung in zwei Aus  führungsbeispielen dargestellt, und zwar zeigen:       Fig.   <B>1</B> einen Schnitt durch ein     Rillenkugellager,          Fig.    2 eine Aufsicht, teilweise im Schnitt, durch  das in     Fig.   <B>1</B> im Schnitt gezeigte     Rillenkugellager,          Fig.   <B>3</B> einen Schnitt längs der Linie     III-111    der       Fig.    2,       Fig.    4 einen Schnitt längs der Linie     IV-IV    der       Fig.    2,       Fig.   <B>5</B> eine Draufsicht,

   mit teilweise     weggebro-          ebenen    Teilen, auf ein Scheibenkugellager,       Fig.   <B>6</B> einen Schnitt längs der Linie     VIII-VIII     der     Fig.   <B>5,</B>       Fig.   <B>7</B> einen Schnitt längs der Linie     IX-IX    der       Fig.   <B>5.</B>  



  Das in den     Fig.    1-4 dargestellte     Rülenkugellager     besteht aus dem inneren Ring<B>1,</B> dem äusseren Ring 2,  dem Käfig<B>3</B> und     den    Kugeln 4. Der Käfig<B>3</B> ist ein  seitig zur Aufnahme der Kugeln 4 offen und dient  vornehmlich als     Abstandshalter    und zur Führung der       Kugehi.    Der Käfig<B>3</B> hat einen Metallkern 3a, der in  Polyamid eingelagert ist. An den Führungsstellen<B>5</B>  ist der Kunststoff dünner als an anderen Stellen des  Metallkernes.

   Der Kunststoff ist formgenau um den      Kern 3a gespritzt, das heisst,     dass    die lückenlose       Kunststoffumhüllung    nach dem Spritzen die     endgül-          C   <B>CD</B>       tige    Form des Käfigs besitzt.  



  Das in den     Fig.   <B>5-7</B> dargestellte Scheibenlager<B>10</B>  besteht aus dem Käfig<B>11,</B> in den die Kugeln 12, wie  im vorhergehenden Beispiel, eingedrückt werden. Der  Käfig<B>11</B> hat den in dem Kunststoff<B>13</B>     einggebetteten     Metallkern 14. An den Führungsstellen<B>15</B> ist der  Kunststoff dünner als an anderen Stellen des Metall  kernes. Der Kunststoff<B>13</B> ist formgenau um den Kern  14 gespritzt, das heisst,     dass    der fertig gespritzte  Kunststoff die endgültige Form des Käfigs besitzt.



  Plastic cage for selector bearings Cages for roller bearings are already made from poly amides and similar plastics in order to take advantage of their advantages, namely high abrasion resistance and good sliding and rolling properties. In addition, bearings that are made using such plastics are much quieter than pure metal bearings. Now these plastics have the disadvantageous property of absorbing moisture and thus swelling or shrinking keitsabgabe with Feuchtig. As a result, the accuracy of the rolling elements is at risk.



  Plastic cages with a metallic core that is surrounded on all sides with a plastic layer have therefore already been produced. For this purpose, the metal core had to have the final cage shape, which is then surrounded, preferably in the immersion process, with a uniformly thick plastic layer.



  This embodiment also has the following disadvantage: If the plastic overlay is kept so thick that noise dampening is achieved, then the overlay is still so thick at the points of high guidance accuracy that the guidance accuracy is impaired by swelling or shrinking . Precision bearings cannot be made in this way.



  The present invention is based on the task of eliminating the disadvantages mentioned of the plastic cages without reducing or even eliminating their good properties.



  The present invention relates to a plastic cage for roller bearings, in which a metallic core is surrounded on all sides with a plastic layer. The cage according to the invention is characterized in that the plastic overlay is injection molded around the core with an accurate shape and is kept thinner at least at the points of high guidance accuracy. Since the mass of the plastic is significantly reduced in this way, the swelling and shrinkage associated with the absorption or release of moisture is reduced so much that it no longer interferes with the accuracy of fit and good guidance.

   This composite plastic-metal version also has the advantage of being vibration-free, as the two materials have different vibration frequencies. This considerably increases the tepid early morning.



  In the drawing, the invention is shown in two exemplary embodiments, specifically showing: FIG. 1 a section through a deep groove ball bearing, FIG. 2 a plan view, partially in section, through the one in FIG 1 deep groove ball bearings shown in section, FIG. 3 a section along the line III-111 of FIG. 2, FIG. 4 a section along the line IV-IV of FIG. 2, FIG . <B> 5 </B> a top view,

   with partially broken-away parts on a disk ball bearing, Fig. 6 A section along the line VIII-VIII in Fig. 5, Fig. 7 / B > A section along the line IX-IX in FIG. 5



  The sleeve ball bearing shown in FIGS. 1-4 consists of the inner ring <B> 1 </B> the outer ring 2, the cage <B> 3 </B> and the balls 4. The cage <B> 3 </B> is open on one side to accommodate the balls 4 and primarily serves as a spacer and to guide the ball. The cage <B> 3 </B> has a metal core 3a that is embedded in polyamide. At the guide points <B> 5 </B> the plastic is thinner than at other points on the metal core.

   The plastic is injected around the core 3a with a precise shape, which means that the seamless plastic casing has the final shape of the cage after the injection.



  The disk bearing <B> 10 </B> shown in FIGS. 5-7 consists of the cage <B> 11 </B> into which the balls 12 are pressed, as in the previous example will. The cage <B> 11 </B> has the metal core 14 embedded in the plastic <B> 13 </B>. The plastic is thinner at the guide points <B> 15 </B> than at other points on the metal core. The plastic <B> 13 </B> is molded around the core 14 with an accurate shape, which means that the finished molded plastic has the final shape of the cage.
