Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine lös- und verfahrbare Lageranordnung zur Abfangung der als Zapfen ausgebildeten freien Enden von einendig fliegend gelagerten Zylindern oder Walzen in einer Druckmaschine, insbesondere einer Flexodruckmaschine, mit den Merkmalen des Oberbegriffes des Anspruchs 1. Des Weiteren betrifft die Erfindung eine Druckmaschine, insbesondere eine Flexodruckmaschine, mit einer solchen Lageranordnung.The invention relates to a releasable and movable bearing assembly for intercepting the free ends formed as a journal of cylinders or rollers mounted cantilevered in a printing machine, in particular a flexographic printing press, with the features of the preamble of claim 1. Furthermore, the invention relates to a printing press, in particular a flexographic printing press, with such a bearing arrangement.
Bei Druckmaschinen, insbesondre Flexodruckmaschinen, erfolgt der Wechsel des zu druckenden Bildes durch den Wechsel einer klischeetragenden Druckzylinderhülse, dem sogenannten "Sleeve". Um den Sleeve wechseln zu können, muss der jeweilige Druckzylinder oder die jeweilige Walze zumindest zeitweise an einem Ende frei zugänglich sein. Daher sind derartige Zylinder oder Walzen in der Regel einendig fliegend gelagert. Das heißt, dass an dem fliegend gelagerten Ende eine Lageranordnung zur Aufnahme eines Wellenzapfens eines Zylinders oder einer Walze vorgesehen ist, die ein Öffnen der Lagerstelle und damit ein Abstreifen und Aufziehen eines Sleeves auf den Zylinder oder die Walze ermöglicht. Eine solche Lageranordnung umfasst in der Regel ein quer zur Zylinder- oder Walzenlängsachse verfahrbares Lagergehäuse, in dem ein Wälzlager aufgenommen ist. Das Lagergehäuse kann ferner derart ausgebildet sein, dass das Wälzlager in einem parallel zur Zylinder- bzw. Walzenlängsachse verschiebbar angeordneten Gehäuseteil angeordnet ist, so dass zum Wechseln des Sleeves das Wälzlager vom Wellenzapfen eines Zylinders oder einer Walze gezogen werden kann, indem das eine Gehäuseteil zunächst parallel zur Zylinder- bzw. Walzenlängsachse verschoben und danach die das Gehäuseteil aufnehmende Lageranordnung quer zur Zylinder- bzw. Walzenlängsachse verfahren wird.In printing machines, in particular flexographic printing presses, the change of the image to be printed by changing a clichedragenden printing cylinder sleeve, the so-called "sleeve". In order to change the sleeve, the respective printing cylinder or the respective roller must be at least temporarily freely accessible at one end. Therefore, such cylinders or rollers are usually mounted on one end flying. This means that a bearing arrangement for receiving a shaft journal of a cylinder or a roller is provided on the cantilevered end, which opens the Bearing and thus stripping and pulling a sleeve on the cylinder or roller allows. As a rule, such a bearing arrangement comprises a bearing housing which can be moved transversely to the cylinder or roller longitudinal axis and in which a roller bearing is accommodated. The bearing housing may also be designed such that the rolling bearing is arranged in a parallel to the cylinder or roller longitudinal axis displaceably arranged housing part, so that for changing the sleeve, the roller bearing from the shaft journal of a cylinder or a roller can be pulled by a housing part first moved parallel to the cylinder or roll longitudinal axis and then the housing part receiving bearing assembly is moved transversely to the cylinder or roll longitudinal axis.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es daher, eine Lageranordnung der eingangs genannten Art mit einem sehr geringen radialen Spiel bereit zu stellen, die zugleich ein sicheres Lösen der Lageranordnung gewährleistet.Object of the present invention is therefore to provide a bearing assembly of the type mentioned with a very small radial clearance, which ensures a safe release of the bearing assembly at the same time.
Die Aufgabe wird gelöst durch eine Lageranordnung mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 sowie eine Druckmaschine mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 13. Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der erfindungsgemäßen Lageranordnung werden in den direkt oder indirekt auf Anspruch 1 rückbezogen Unteransprüchen beschrieben.The object is achieved by a bearing arrangement with the features of claim 1 and a printing press with the features of
Die vorgeschlagene Lageranordnung umfasst wenigstens ein quer zur Zylinder- oder Walzenlängsachse verfahrbares erstes Gehäuseteil und ein hierin parallel zur Zylinder- oder Walzenlängsachse verschiebbar angeordnetes zweites Gehäuseteil sowie ein Wälzlager. Erfindungsgemäß besitzt das zweite Gehäuseteil im Wesentlichen über seine gesamte axiale Erstreckung eine konisch verlaufende Außenumfangsfläche mit einem Neigungswinkel α ≤ 10°, vorzugsweise ≤ 5° in Bezug auf die Zylinder- oder Walzenlängsachse A. Darüber hinaus besitzt das erste Gehäuseteil einen korrespondierend zur konisch verlaufenden Außenumfangsfläche des zweiten Gehäuseteils ausgebildeten konisch verlaufenden Innenumfangsbereich zur Ausbildung eines axialen Anschlages. Indem das zweite Gehäuseteil im Wesentlichen über seine gesamte axiale Erstreckung als Konus ausgebildet ist, besteht weniger die Gefahr, dass das zweite Gehäuseteil bei einer axialen Verschiebung innerhalb des ersten Gehäuseteils verklemmt. Zudem bewirkt der korrespondierend zum Konus des zweiten Gehäuseteils ausgebildete konisch verlaufende Innenumfangsbereich des ersten Gehäuseteils eine Selbstzentrierung des zweiten Gehäuseteils, wenn dieses in Richtung des axialen Anschlages verschoben wird. Zudem ist ein möglichst flacher Neigungswinkel der konisch verlaufenden Umfangsflächen in Bezug auf die Zylinder- oder Walzenlängsachse vorgesehen, der ausreichend flach ist um das zweite Gehäuseteil bei einer Verschiebung zu stabilisieren, jedoch nicht derart flach gewählt ist, dass eine Selbsthemmung eintritt.The proposed bearing arrangement comprises at least one first housing part, which can be displaced transversely to the cylinder or roller longitudinal axis, and a second housing part, which is displaceably arranged parallel to the cylinder or roller longitudinal axis, and a roller bearing. According to the invention, the second housing part has substantially over its entire axial extent a conically extending outer peripheral surface with an inclination angle α ≦ 10 °, preferably ≦ 5 ° with respect to the cylinder or roller longitudinal axis A. In addition, the first housing part has a corresponding to the conical outer circumferential surface the second housing part formed conically extending inner peripheral region for forming an axial stop. By the second housing part is formed over its entire axial extent as a cone, there is less the risk that the second housing part jammed in an axial displacement within the first housing part. In addition, the conical inner circumference region of the first housing part formed corresponding to the cone of the second housing part effects a self-centering of the second housing part when it is displaced in the direction of the axial stop. In addition, a flat angle of inclination as possible of the conical peripheral surfaces is provided with respect to the cylinder or roller longitudinal axis, which is sufficiently flat to stabilize the second housing part in a shift, but is not chosen so flat that a self-locking occurs.
Um einer Selbsthemmung bei einem sehr flach gewählten Neigungswinkel entgegen zu wirken, wird gemäß einer vorteilhaften Weiterbildung der Erfindung vorgeschlagen, dass der konisch verlaufende Innenumfangsbereich des ersten Gehäuseteils und/oder die konisch verlaufende Außenumfangsfläche des zweiten Gehäuseteils in einem Teilbereich wenigstens eine freigestellte Fläche aufweisen. Die Anordnung freigestellter Flächen bewirkt, dass sich die Anlagefläche des zweiten Gehäuseteils am ersten Gehäuseteil im konisch verlaufenden Innenumfangsbereich verkleinert. Der selbsthemmende Effekt wird dadurch gemindert. In den nicht freigestellten Bereichen verbleiben tragende Flächen, die vorzugsweise derart angeordnet sind, dass weiterhin eine anwendungsgerechte hohe Formsteifigkeit der Lageranordnung erzielt wird.In order to counteract a self-locking at a very flat selected angle of inclination, it is proposed according to an advantageous development of the invention that the conically extending inner peripheral portion of the first housing part and / or the conical outer peripheral surface of the second housing part in a partial area have at least one free surface. The arrangement of the exposed surfaces causes the contact surface of the second housing part on the first housing part to shrink in the conically extending inner peripheral area. The self-locking effect is thereby reduced. In the non-exposed areas bearing surfaces remain, which are preferably arranged such that further an application-oriented high stiffness of the bearing assembly is achieved.
Nach einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist wenigstens eine freigestellte Fläche ringförmig ausgebildet. Das hießt, dass die Konusfläche des ersten und/oder des zweiten Gehäuseteils in einem ringförmigen bzw. umlaufenden Teilbereich freigestellt ist. Zwischen dem ersten und dem zweiten Gehäuseteil wird somit eine Ringnut ausgebildet. Vorzugsweise ist diese Ringnut beidseitig von tragenden Flächen umgebenAccording to a preferred embodiment, at least one free surface is annular. This means that the conical surface of the first and / or the second housing part is exposed in an annular or peripheral portion. Thus, an annular groove is formed between the first and the second housing part. Preferably, this annular groove is surrounded on both sides by supporting surfaces
Gemäß einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist in dem ersten und/oder dem zweiten Gehäuseteil wenigstens eine Bohrung für den Anschluss eines Druckmediums vorgesehen. Dabei ist die Bohrung bevorzugt im Bereich einer freigestellten Fläche angeordnet, weiterhin bevorzugt im Bereich einer Ringnut. Wird ein Druckmedium in diese Ringnut eingeleitet, kann eine Druckkraft auf die die Ringnut begrenzenden Konusflächen ausgeübt werden, die zum Einen zu einer Aufweitung des ersten Gehäuseteils und damit einer Verringerung der Flächenpressung, zum Anderen zu einer axial wirkenden Kraftkomponente an der Konusfläche des zweiten Gehäuseteils führen, die den Konus aus seinem Sitz heraus drängt. Über das eingeleitete Druckmedium kann somit das Lösen der Lageranordnung bewirkt werden. Vorzugsweise wird der Druck pneumatisch oder hydraulisch erzeugt.According to one embodiment of the invention, at least one bore for the connection of a pressure medium is provided in the first and / or the second housing part. In this case, the bore is preferably arranged in the region of an exposed surface, furthermore preferably in the region of an annular groove. If a pressure medium introduced into this annular groove, a compressive force can be exerted on the conical surfaces bounding the annular groove, which lead to a widening of the first housing part and thus a reduction of the surface pressure, on the one hand to an axially acting force component on the conical surface of the second housing part pushing the cone out of his seat. The release of the bearing arrangement can thus be effected via the introduced pressure medium. Preferably, the pressure is generated pneumatically or hydraulically.
Alternativ oder ergänzend hierzu kann vorgesehen sein, dass das zweite Gehäuseteil mit einem pneumatisch betätigbaren Kolben ist, mittels dessen das zweite Gehäuseteil mit einer axial wirkenden Kraft zur axialen Verschiebung beaufschlagbar ist. Vorzugsweise ist dann das zweite Gehäuseteil mit den pneumatisch betätigbaren Kolben in einer Weise verbunden, dass das zweite Gehäuseteil bei einer axialen Bewegung de Kolbens mit geführt wird. Die Verbindung des zweiten Gehäuseteils mit dem Kolben kann beispielsweise über eine Kolbenstange erfolgen. Weiterhin vorzugsweise ist das zweite Gehäuse mit der Kolbenstange verschraubt.Alternatively or additionally, it may be provided that the second housing part is provided with a pneumatically actuated piston, by means of which the second housing part can be acted upon by an axially acting force for axial displacement. Preferably, the second housing part is then connected to the pneumatically actuated piston in a manner that the second housing part is guided in an axial movement de piston. The connection of the second housing part with the piston can be done for example via a piston rod. Further preferably, the second housing is bolted to the piston rod.
Bevorzugt wird der Kolben in einem Kolbengehäuse, das kraft- und/oder formschlüssig mit dem ersten Gehäuseteil verbunden ist, axial verschiebbar geführt. Im Kolbengehäuse ist ferner wenigstens ein Anschluss für ein Druckmedium vorgesehen.Preferably, the piston is guided axially displaceably in a piston housing, which is non-positively and / or positively connected to the first housing part. In addition, at least one connection for a pressure medium is provided in the piston housing.
Vorteilhafterweise ist bei einer erfindungsgemäßen Lageranordnung ein weiteres Gehäuseteil zur Aufnahme des ersten und des zweiten Gehäuseteils vorgesehen. In dem weiteren Gehäuseteil kann auch das Kolbengehäuse mit dem pneumatisch betätigbaren Kolben angeordnet sein, sofern ein solcher vorgesehen ist. Bevorzugt ist das weitere Gehäuseteil in einer Führungseinrichtung geführt und zumindest quer zur Zylinder- oder Walzenlängsachse A verfahrbar.Advantageously, a further housing part for receiving the first and the second housing part is provided in a bearing arrangement according to the invention. In the further housing part and the piston housing may be arranged with the pneumatically actuated piston, if such is provided. The further housing part is preferably guided in a guide device and can be moved at least transversely to the cylinder or roller longitudinal axis A.
Vorzugsweise umfasst das Wälzlager der Lageranordnung wenigstens einen kraft- und/oder formschlüssig mit dem zweiten Gehäuseteil verbundenen Außenring sowie käfiggeführte Wälzkörper, die auf dem Zapfen ablaufen oder auf einem Innenring, der kraft- und/oder formschlüssig mit dem Zapfen verbindbar ist. Ist ein Innenring vorgesehen, bildet dieser ebenfalls einen Bestandteil der erfindungsgemäßen Lageranordnung. Sollte jedoch der Zapfen die Wälzkörperlauffläche bilden, ist dieser zumindest im Bereich der Wälzkörperlauffläche gehärtet und geschliffen ausgeführt. Damit steigt zwar der Fertigungsaufwand für den Zapfen eines Zylinders oder einer Walze, der jedoch dadurch kompensiert werden kann, dass auf einen präzise gefertigten Innenring vollständig verzichtet werden kann.Preferably, the rolling bearing of the bearing assembly comprises at least one non-positively and / or positively connected to the second housing part outer ring and cage-guided rolling elements which run on the pin or on an inner ring which is non-positively and / or positively connected to the pin. If an inner ring is provided, this likewise forms part of the bearing arrangement according to the invention. However, if the pin form the rolling body tread, it is hardened and ground, at least in the area of the rolling body tread. Although this increases the production cost for the journal of a cylinder or a roller, but this can be compensated by the fact that can be completely dispensed with a precisely manufactured inner ring.
Der Außenring des Wälzlagers ist bevorzugt dickwandig ausgebildet und besitzt somit eine hohe Formstabilität. Sofern das Wälzlager auch einen Innenring umfasst, ist dieser bevorzugt massiv ausgebildet. Zudem sind der Außenring und der Innenring des Wälzlagers als hochgenau gepaarte Lagereinheit mit sehr geringem radialen Spiel ausgeführt.The outer ring of the rolling bearing is preferably formed thick-walled and thus has a high dimensional stability. If the rolling bearing also includes an inner ring, this is preferably solid. In addition, the outer ring and the inner ring of the bearing are designed as a highly accurate paired bearing unit with very little radial clearance.
Als weitere Maßnahme zur Begrenzung des radialen Spiels der Lageranordnung ist gemäß eines bevorzugten Ausführungsform vorgesehen, dass der Außenring in einer quer zur Zylinder- oder Walzenlängsachse A ausgerichteten Befestigungsebene B1 kraft- und formschlüssig, vorzugsweise mittels einer oder mehrerer Schrauben, an dem zweiten Gehäuseteil befestigt ist. Das Wälzlager der vorgeschlagenen Lageranordnung wird demnach nicht wie bei den vorbekannten Lageranordnungen in einer axialen Bohrung des Lagergehäuses aufgenommen, sondern axial angeschlagen. Fertigungstoleranzen im Bereich der Aufnahme wirken sich in der Regel negativ auf das Lagerspiel aus. Dieses Problem entfällt, wenn der Außenring axial angesetzt ist.As a further measure for limiting the radial clearance of the bearing assembly is provided according to a preferred embodiment, that the outer ring in a transverse to the cylinder or roll axis A aligned mounting plane B1 force and form fit, preferably by means of one or more screws, is attached to the second housing part , The rolling bearing of the proposed bearing assembly is therefore not recorded as in the prior art bearing assemblies in an axial bore of the bearing housing, but struck axially. Manufacturing tolerances in the recording usually have a negative effect on the bearing clearance. This problem is eliminated if the outer ring is attached axially.
Sofern ein Innenring als separates Bauteil vorgesehen ist, ist auch dieser bevorzugt in einer quer zur Zylinder- oder Walzenlängsachse A ausgerichteten Befestigungsebene B2 kraft- und formschlüssig, vorzugsweise mittels einer oder mehrerer Schrauben, an dem Zapfen des Zylinders oder der Walze befestigbar. Der Innenring wird somit ebenfalls bevorzugt axial am Zapfen angesetzt. Zur Aufnahme der wenigstens einen Befestigungsschraube erweist es sich von Vorteil, wenn der Innenring massiv ausgeführt ist.If an inner ring is provided as a separate component, this is also preferably in a transverse to the cylinder or roll axis A aligned mounting plane B2 positive and positive, preferably by means of one or more screws, fastened to the journal of the cylinder or the roller. The inner ring is thus also preferably attached axially on the pin. For receiving the at least one fastening screw, it proves to be advantageous if the inner ring is made solid.
Die Freigabe des Zapfens eines Zylinders oder einer Walze erfolgt bei einer erfindungsgemäßen Lageranordnung vorteilhafterweise dadurch, dass der Außenring einschließlich käfiggeführter Wälzkörper vom Innenring bzw. vom Zapfen gezogen wird. Die Trennung findet somit im Bereich des Wälzlagers statt. Zum Abziehen des Außenringes vom Innenring bedarf es lediglich der axialen Verschiebung des zweiten Gehäuseteils gegenüber dem ersten Gehäuseteil. Wird danach das Lagergehäuse einschließlich des Außenringes des Wälzlagers quer zur Zylinder- oder Walzenlängsachse A verfahren, ist der Zylinder oder die Walze zum Wechseln eines Sleeves frei zugänglich.The release of the pin of a cylinder or a roller is advantageously carried out in a bearing assembly according to the invention in that the outer ring is pulled including cage-guided rolling elements from the inner ring or from the pin. The separation thus takes place in the area of the rolling bearing. To remove the outer ring from the inner ring, it only requires the axial displacement of the second housing part relative to the first housing part. Will thereafter the bearing housing including the outer ring of the bearing moved transversely to the cylinder or roller axis A, the cylinder or roller for changing a sleeve is freely accessible.
Die vorgeschlagene erfindungsgemäße Lageranordnung eignet sich demnach insbesondere für Druckmaschinen mit einendig fliegend gelagerten Zylindern oder Walzen. Es wird daher ferner eine Druckmaschine, insbesondere Flexodruckmaschine, mit einer erfindungsgemäßen Lageranordnung zur Lösung der eingangs gestellten Aufgabe beansprucht. Dabei trägt insbesondere die erfindungsgemäße Geometrie des Lagergehäuses bzw. seiner Gehäuseteile dazu bei, dass aufgrund der Formsteifigkeit der Lageranordnung eine hohe Druckqualität erzielbar ist, während zugleich die Lageranordnung zum Sleeve-Wechsel leicht lösbar ist.The proposed bearing arrangement according to the invention is therefore particularly suitable for printing machines with single-acting cantilevered cylinders or rollers. It is therefore further claimed a printing machine, in particular flexographic printing machine, with a bearing assembly according to the invention for solving the problem presented at the outset. In particular, the inventive geometry of the bearing housing or its housing parts contributes to the fact that a high print quality can be achieved due to the dimensional stability of the bearing assembly, while at the same time the bearing assembly for sleeve change is easily solvable.
Ein konkretes Ausführungsbeispiel einer erfindungsgemäßen Lageranordnung wird nachfolgend anhand der einzigen beigefügten Zeichnung näher erläutert. Diese zeigt eine erfindungsgemäße Lageranordnung in einem Längsschnitt.A concrete embodiment of a bearing arrangement according to the invention will be explained in more detail with reference to the single attached drawing. This shows a bearing arrangement according to the invention in a longitudinal section.
Die dargestellte Lageranordnung 10 umfasst ein erstes Gehäuseteil 11 und ein hierin axial geführtes zweites Gehäuseteil 12. Das zweite Gehäuseteil 12 ist massiv ausgebildet und weist über seine gesamte axiale Erstreckung im Wesentlichen einen konisch verlaufende Außenumfangsfläche auf. Der Konus des zweiten Gehäuseteils 12 wird von einem korrespondierend konisch verlaufenden Innenumfangsbereich 11.1 des ersten Gehäuseteils 11 umgeben, der zugleich als axialer Anschlag dient. An den konisch verlaufenden Innenumfangsbereich 11.1 des ersten Gehäuseteils 11 schließt sich ein zylinderförmiger Innenumfangsbereich 11.2 an, der einen Hohlraum umschließt in dem der Konus des zweiten Gehäuseteils 12 zum Lösen der Lageranordnung zurückgezogen werden kann. Um die hierzu erforderliche axiale Verschiebung des zweiten Gehäuseteils 12 zu bewirken, ist dieses über eine Kolbenstange mit einem Kolben 19 verbunden, der pneumatisch betätigbar ist. Der Kolben 19 ist in einem Kolbengehäuse 21 axial verschiebbar geführt. Zur Verbindung des zweiten Gehäuseteils 12 mit dem Kolben 19 dient eine Befestigungsschraube 22, die in einer zentralen Bohrung des zweiten Gehäuseteils 12 und der Kolbenstange des Kolbens 19 aufgenommen ist. Bei einer axialen Verschiebung des Kolbens 19 wird somit das zweite Gehäuseteil 12 mitgeführt.The illustrated
Das Kolbengehäuse 21 ist starr mit dem ersten Gehäuseteil 11 verbunden. Hierzu weist das Kolbengehäuse 21 eine Kopfplatte 24 auf, die radial vorsteht um Befestigungsschrauben 23 aufzunehmen, mittels derer die Kopfplatte 24 des Kolbengehäuses 21 am ersten Gehäuseteil 11 befestigt ist. Das erste Gehäuseteil 11 ist in dem dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel hülsenartig ausgeführt und weist eine ringförmig ausgebildete Schulter auf, mittels derer es sich an einem weiteren Gehäuseteil 25, dass das erste Gehäuseteil 11 und das Kolbengehäuse 21 umgibt, abstützt.The
Die Lageranordnung 10 umfasst des Weiteren ein Wälzlager 13, mit einem Außenring 14, der in einer Befestigungsebene B1, die quer zur Zylinder- bzw. Walzenlängsachse A verläuft, axial an das zweite Gehäuseteil 12 angeflanscht ist. Zur kraft- und formschlüssigen Verbindung des Außenrings 14 mit dem zweiten Gehäuseteil 12 sind Befestigungsschrauben 17 vorgesehen, die parallel zur Zylinder- bzw. Walzenlängsachse A angeordnet sind. Um eine ausreichende Formstabilität des Außenrings auch bei Aufnahme der Befestigungsschrauben 17 zu gewährleisten, ist der Außenring 14 dickwandig, d.h. massiv ausgeführt. Innenumfangseitig trägt der Außenring 14 käfiggeführte Wälzkörper 15, die vorliegend zylinderförmig ausgebildet sind.The bearing
Die dargestellte Lageranordnung umfasst ferner einen Innenring 16, der in einer Befestigungsebene B2, die ebenfalls quer zur Zylinder- bzw. Walzenlängsachse A angeordnet ist, am Zapfen 20 befestigt ist. Somit ist auch der Innenring 16 axial am Zapfen 20 angesetzt. Die Befestigung erfolgt über eine Befestigungsschraube 18, die in einer zentralen Bohrung des Innenringes 16 aufgenommen ist. Zur Erzielung einer hohen Formstabilität ist der Innenring 16 massiv ausgeführt.The illustrated bearing arrangement further comprises an
Der Längsschnitt zeigt die Lageranordnung im eingefahrenen Zustand, d.h. der Pneumatikkolben 19 drückt über die Kolbenstange das zweite Gehäuseteil 12 gegen den konisch verlaufenden Innenumfangsbereich 11.1 des ersten Gehäuseteils 11. Im eingefahrenen Zustand umschließt der Außenring 14 des Wälzlagers 13 den Innenring 16, so dass die Wälzkörper 15 am Innenring 16 anliegen. Zum Lösen der Lageranordnung, d.h. zum Abziehen des Außenringes 14 vom Innenring 16 und damit vom Zapfen 20, kann zum Einen der Kolben 19 betätigt werden, zum anderen kann der Konus des zweiten Gehäuseteils 12 von einer Druckkraft eines Druckmediums beaufschlagt werden, das über eine Anschlussbohrung 26 im ersten Gehäuseteil 11 in eine den Konus umgebenen Ringnut eingeführt wird. Diese Ringnut wird durch eine ringförmig verlaufende freigestellte Flächen 11.3 im konisch verlaufenden Innenumfangsbereich 11.1 des ersten Gehäuseteils 11 gebildet. Das in die Ringnut eingeführte Druckmedium bewirkt eine Aufweitung des ersten Gehäuseteils 11 und damit eine Reduzierung der Flächenpressung am Konus des Gehäuseteils 12. Die an der Konusfläche 12.1 anliegende Druckkraft bewirkt zudem, dass der Konus aus seinem Sitz herausgedrückt wird. Ein zuverlässiges Lösen der Konusverbindung ist somit gewährleistet.The longitudinal section shows the bearing assembly in the retracted state, ie the
