Description

本発明は、自動車等の車輪を懸架装置に対して回転自在に支承する転がり軸受、特に、内輪の研削焼けを防止して耐久性の向上を図った転がり軸受の内輪およびそれを備えた車輪用軸受装置に関するものである。   The present invention relates to a rolling bearing that rotatably supports a wheel of an automobile or the like with respect to a suspension device, and more particularly to an inner ring of a rolling bearing that prevents grinding and burning of an inner ring and improves durability, and a wheel having the same. The present invention relates to a bearing device.

従来から自動車等の車輪を支持する車輪用軸受装置は、車輪を取り付けるためのハブ輪を転がり軸受を介して回転自在に支承するもので、この転がり軸受には、一般的に、所望の軸受剛性を有し、ミスアライメントに対しても耐久性を発揮すると共に、燃費向上の観点から回転トルクが小さい複列アンギュラ玉軸受が多用されている。一方、オフロードカーやトラック等、車体重量が嵩む車両には複列円錐ころ軸受が使用されている。   2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a wheel bearing device for supporting a wheel of an automobile or the like is such that a hub wheel for mounting a wheel is rotatably supported via a rolling bearing. Generally, the rolling bearing has a desired bearing rigidity. A double-row angular contact ball bearing that exhibits durability against misalignment and has low rotational torque is often used from the viewpoint of improving fuel efficiency. On the other hand, double row tapered roller bearings are used in vehicles such as off-road cars and trucks that have a heavy vehicle body weight.

例えば、複列アンギュラ玉軸受の内輪は、一般的に両頭平面研削盤等によって両端面が同時に研削加工されている。図10に示すように、この内輪50は、外周に円弧状の内側転走面50aが形成されると共に、この内側転走面50aの一方側に大径側となる肩部51が形成され、他方側に小径側となるカウンタ部52が形成されている。ここで、肩部51側の大端面(背面側端面)53とカウンタ部52側の小端面(正面側端面)54が同時に研削加工される場合、大端面53と小端面54の面積比A1/A2が大きく異なるため、加工時の研削抵抗も大きく異なることになる。加工条件によっては、強研削により研削焼けが発生する恐れがある。   For example, the inner ring of a double row angular contact ball bearing is generally ground at both ends at the same time by a double-head surface grinder or the like. As shown in FIG. 10, the inner ring 50 has an arcuate inner rolling surface 50a formed on the outer periphery thereof, and a shoulder 51 which is a large diameter side formed on one side of the inner rolling surface 50a. On the other side, a counter section 52 which is a small diameter side is formed. Here, when the large end surface (rear side end surface) 53 on the shoulder 51 side and the small end surface (front end surface) 54 on the counter unit 52 side are ground simultaneously, the area ratio A1 / of the large end surface 53 and the small end surface 54 is obtained. Since A2 is greatly different, the grinding resistance at the time of processing is also greatly different. Depending on the processing conditions, grinding burn may occur due to strong grinding.

この研削焼けが発生した場合、内輪50には引張残留応力が発生している。こうした引張残留応力が発生した内輪50を、例えば、図示しないが、ハブ輪の小径段部に圧入して、小径段部の端部を塑性変形させて形成した加締部によって内輪50を固定した際、この揺動加締によって内輪50にフープ応力が生じ、研削加工時の微小クラック等が内輪50の割れや加工後の内輪割れ、所謂置き割れが発生する恐れがある。すなわち、研削加工時に内輪50に発生した引張残留応力によって誘発された微小クラックを起点として割れに至る恐れがある。   When this grinding burn occurs, tensile residual stress is generated in the inner ring 50. For example, although not shown, the inner ring 50 in which such tensile residual stress is generated is press-fitted into a small-diameter step portion of the hub wheel, and the inner ring 50 is fixed by a crimping portion formed by plastic deformation of the end portion of the small-diameter step portion. At this time, the swing caulking causes a hoop stress in the inner ring 50, and there is a risk that micro cracks or the like at the time of grinding may crack the inner ring 50 or crack the inner ring after machining, so-called crack. That is, there is a risk of cracking starting from a microcrack induced by the tensile residual stress generated in the inner ring 50 during grinding.

こうした内輪50の研削焼けを防止するために、研削条件を変更する等、種々の対策が講じられている。ここで、内輪50の大端面53と小端面54の面積比A1/A2を小さく抑えることが考えられる。例えば、図11に示す内輪55には、その大端面56に多数の窪み57が形成されている。この窪み57は、径方向と周方向に整列させて、それぞれ、所定間隔に分布されている。これらの窪み57が吸音効果を発揮して、内輪55の大端面56と図示しない等速自在継手の外側継手部材との間から発生する異音を窪み57により吸収することができるというものである(例えば、特許文献1参照。)。   In order to prevent such grinding burn of the inner ring 50, various countermeasures such as changing grinding conditions are taken. Here, it is conceivable to reduce the area ratio A1 / A2 between the large end surface 53 and the small end surface 54 of the inner ring 50. For example, the inner ring 55 shown in FIG. 11 has a number of depressions 57 formed on the large end surface 56 thereof. The dents 57 are aligned in the radial direction and the circumferential direction, and are distributed at predetermined intervals. These dents 57 exhibit a sound absorbing effect, and the dents 57 can absorb the noise generated between the large end surface 56 of the inner ring 55 and the outer joint member of the constant velocity universal joint (not shown). (For example, refer to Patent Document 1).

また、これらの窪み57を内輪55の大端面56に形成することによって、目的が異なるものの、結果的にこの内輪55の大端面56と小端面54の面積比A3/A2を小さく抑えることでき、研削加工時の研削抵抗が小さくなって研削焼けを防止することができる。
特開2005−75229号公報
Further, by forming these recesses 57 on the large end surface 56 of the inner ring 55, the purpose is different, but as a result, the area ratio A3 / A2 of the large end surface 56 and the small end surface 54 of the inner ring 55 can be kept small. Grinding resistance during grinding can be reduced and grinding burn can be prevented.
JP-A-2005-75229

然しながら、この従来の内輪55では、大端面56に形成された窪み57が吸音効果を発揮させるためのものであって、単に径方向と周方向に整列して所定間隔に分布させるものであるから、研削加工時の内輪55の研削焼けを防止するための解決手段や窪み57自体の構成に関して記載もなければ規定もなく、無論示唆もない。   However, in this conventional inner ring 55, the depressions 57 formed in the large end face 56 are for exerting a sound absorbing effect, and are simply aligned in the radial direction and the circumferential direction and distributed at predetermined intervals. There is no description, no definition, and no suggestion regarding the means for preventing grinding burn of the inner ring 55 during grinding and the configuration of the recess 57 itself.

本発明は、このような従来の問題に鑑みてなされたもので、内輪の研削焼けを防止して耐久性の向上を図った転がり軸受の内輪およびそれを備えた車輪用軸受装置を提供することを目的とする。   The present invention has been made in view of such conventional problems, and provides an inner ring of a rolling bearing that prevents grinding and burning of the inner ring and improves durability, and a wheel bearing device including the same.

FIG. 3 to FIG. 9 are cross-sectional views of FIG. In the following description, the side closer to the outer side of the vehicle when assembled to the vehicle is referred to as the outer side (left side in FIG. 1), and the side closer to the center is referred to as the inner side (right side in FIG. 1).

この車輪用軸受装置は従動輪側の第3世代と称され、内方部材1と外方部材10、および両部材1、10間に転動自在に収容された複列の転動体(ボール)6、6とを備えている。内方部材1は、ハブ輪2と、このハブ輪2に所定のシメシロを介して圧入された内輪3とからなる。   This wheel bearing device is referred to as the third generation on the driven wheel side, and is a double row rolling element (ball) accommodated between the inner member 1 and the outer member 10 and between both members 1 and 10 so as to roll freely. 6 and 6. The inner member 1 includes a hub ring 2 and an inner ring 3 that is press-fitted into the hub ring 2 through a predetermined scissors.

ハブ輪2は、アウター側の端部に車輪(図示せず)を取り付けるための車輪取付フランジ4を一体に有し、この車輪取付フランジ4の円周等配位置に車輪を固定するためのハブボルト5が植設されている。このハブ輪2の外周には一方(アウター側)の内側転走面2aと、この内側転走面2aから肩部2dを介して軸方向に延びる軸状の小径段部2bが形成されている。そして、外周に他方(インナー側)の内側転走面3aが形成された内輪3がこの小径段部2bに圧入されている。   The hub wheel 2 integrally has a wheel mounting flange 4 for mounting a wheel (not shown) at an end on the outer side, and a hub bolt for fixing the wheel at a circumferentially equidistant position of the wheel mounting flange 4. 5 is planted. On the outer periphery of the hub wheel 2, one (outer side) inner rolling surface 2a and an axial small-diameter step portion 2b extending in the axial direction from the inner rolling surface 2a via the shoulder portion 2d are formed. . And the inner ring | wheel 3 by which the inner side rolling surface 3a of the other (inner side) was formed in the outer periphery is press-fit in this small diameter step part 2b.

また、車輪取付フランジ4のハブボルト5間には円孔4aが形成されている。この円孔4aによってハブ輪2の軽量化を図ることができると共に、車輪用軸受装置の組立工程において、例えば、図示しないブレーキロータをハブ輪2に固定した状態で、ブレーキロータや車輪取付フランジ4に邪魔されることなく、工具にて容易にナックルボルト(図示せず)を締結することもでき、外方部材10をナックル(図示せず)に簡便に固定することもでき、組立作業性を向上することができる。   A circular hole 4 a is formed between the hub bolts 5 of the wheel mounting flange 4. The hub wheel 2 can be reduced in weight by the circular hole 4a, and in the assembly process of the wheel bearing device, for example, with the brake rotor (not shown) fixed to the hub wheel 2, the brake rotor and the wheel mounting flange 4 The knuckle bolt (not shown) can be easily fastened with a tool without being obstructed by the tool, and the outer member 10 can be simply fixed to the knuckle (not shown). Can be improved.

そして、内輪3の小端面(正面側端面)3cをハブ輪2の肩部2dに突き当てた状態で、小径段部2bの端部を径方向外方に塑性変形させて加締部2cが形成されている。すなわち、この加締部2cとハブ輪2の肩部2dとで内輪3を挟持し、ハブ輪2に対して内輪3が軸方向に固定されている。加締部2cは内輪3のインナー側の外郭に沿って密着した状態で塑性変形させて形成され、内輪3の大端面(背面側端面)3bを押え付けて所望の軸力を確保することができる。   Then, with the small end face (front side end face) 3c of the inner ring 3 abutted against the shoulder 2d of the hub ring 2, the end of the small diameter step portion 2b is plastically deformed radially outward so that the caulking portion 2c is formed. Is formed. That is, the inner ring 3 is sandwiched between the caulking portion 2 c and the shoulder portion 2 d of the hub wheel 2, and the inner ring 3 is fixed to the hub wheel 2 in the axial direction. The caulking portion 2c is formed by plastic deformation in close contact with the inner side of the inner ring 3, and can hold the large end surface (back side end surface) 3b of the inner ring 3 to secure a desired axial force. it can.

外方部材10は、外周に車体(図示せず)に取り付けるための車体取付フランジ10bを一体に有し、内周に複列の外側転走面10a、10aが一体に形成されている。そして、それぞれの転走面10a、2aと10a、3a間に複列の転動体6、6が収容され、保持器7、7によりこれら複列の転動体6、6が転動自在に保持されている。また、外方部材10と内方部材1との間に形成される環状空間の開口部にはシール8、9が装着され、軸受内部に封入された潤滑グリースの漏洩と、外部から雨水やダスト等が軸受内部に侵入するのを防止している。   The outer member 10 integrally has a vehicle body mounting flange 10b for mounting to the vehicle body (not shown) on the outer periphery, and double row outer rolling surfaces 10a, 10a are integrally formed on the inner periphery. And the double row rolling elements 6 and 6 are accommodated between each rolling surface 10a, 2a and 10a, 3a, and these double row rolling elements 6 and 6 are rollably hold | maintained by the holder | retainers 7 and 7. ing. Seals 8 and 9 are attached to the opening of the annular space formed between the outer member 10 and the inner member 1, and leakage of lubricating grease sealed inside the bearing and rainwater and dust from the outside. Etc. are prevented from entering the inside of the bearing.

なお、ここでは、ハブ輪2の外周に直接内側転走面2aが形成された第3世代と呼称される車輪用軸受装置を例示したが、本発明に係る車輪用軸受装置はこうした構造に限定されず、例えば、ハブ輪の小径段部に一対の内輪を圧入した、第1世代あるいは第2世代構造であっても良い。また、転動体6、6をボールとした複列アンギュラ玉軸受を例示したが、これに限らず転動体に円すいころを使用した複列円すいころ軸受であっても良い。   Here, the wheel bearing device referred to as the third generation in which the inner raceway surface 2a is formed directly on the outer periphery of the hub wheel 2 is illustrated, but the wheel bearing device according to the present invention is limited to such a structure. For example, a first generation or second generation structure in which a pair of inner rings are press-fitted into a small-diameter step portion of the hub ring may be used. Moreover, although the double row angular contact ball bearing which used the rolling elements 6 and 6 as the ball | bowl was illustrated, it is not restricted to this, The double row tapered roller bearing which uses a tapered roller for a rolling element may be sufficient.

ハブ輪2はS53C等の炭素0.40〜0.80重量%を含む中高炭素鋼で形成され、内側転走面2aをはじめ、アウター側のシール8が摺接する車輪取付フランジ4の基部4bから小径段部2bに亙り高周波焼入れによって表面硬さを58〜64HRCの範囲に硬化処理されている。なお、加締部2cは、鍛造後の素材表面硬さの未焼入れ部とされている。   The hub wheel 2 is formed of medium and high carbon steel containing 0.40 to 0.80% by weight of carbon such as S53C, and the like from the base part 4b of the wheel mounting flange 4 to which the outer seal 8 comes into sliding contact, including the inner rolling surface 2a. The surface hardness is set to a range of 58 to 64 HRC by induction hardening over the small diameter step 2b. The caulking portion 2c is an unquenched portion of the material surface hardness after forging.

一方、内輪3および転動体6は、SUJ2等の高炭素クロム軸受鋼からなり、ズブ焼入れにより芯部まで58〜64HRCの範囲で硬化処理されている。また、外方部材10は、前記ハブ輪2と同様、S53C等の炭素0.40〜0.80重量%を含む中高炭素鋼で形成され、少なくとも複列の外側転走面10a、10aが高周波焼入れによって表面硬さを58〜64HRCの範囲に硬化処理されている。   On the other hand, the inner ring 3 and the rolling element 6 are made of high carbon chrome bearing steel such as SUJ2, and are hardened in the range of 58 to 64 HRC up to the core by quenching. Similarly to the hub wheel 2, the outer member 10 is made of medium and high carbon steel containing 0.40 to 0.80% by weight of carbon such as S53C, and at least the double row outer rolling surfaces 10a and 10a have high frequency. The surface hardness is hardened by quenching to a range of 58 to 64 HRC.

ここで、本出願人は、内輪3の両端面を両頭研削盤で研削した際、研削加工時に発生する研削抵抗を低減させるために、内輪3の大端面3bと小端面3cの面積比を小さくすることに着目した。本実施形態では、図2に示すように、内輪3の大端面3bに環状の凹部11が旋削加工によって形成されている。この凹部11の幅を所定値に設定することにより、大端面3bの面積A0=A1−A4を小端面3cの面積A2に近付けることができ、大端面3bと小端面3cの面積比(A0/A2)が従来の面積比に比べ大幅に小さくなる。これにより、内輪3の両端面の研削加工時に発生する研削抵抗を低減させることができ、内輪3の研削焼けを防止して耐久性の向上を図った内輪3を提供することができる。なお、ここでは、大端面3bの面積A1は、凹部11を形成する前の面積(投影面積)を指す。   Here, the applicant reduces the area ratio of the large end surface 3b and the small end surface 3c of the inner ring 3 in order to reduce the grinding resistance generated during grinding when both end surfaces of the inner ring 3 are ground with a double-headed grinding machine. Focused on doing. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, an annular recess 11 is formed on the large end surface 3 b of the inner ring 3 by turning. By setting the width of the recess 11 to a predetermined value, the area A0 = A1-A4 of the large end face 3b can be brought close to the area A2 of the small end face 3c, and the area ratio (A0 / A3) between the large end face 3b and the small end face 3c. A2) is significantly smaller than the conventional area ratio. As a result, it is possible to reduce the grinding resistance that occurs during grinding of both end faces of the inner ring 3, and it is possible to provide the inner ring 3 that is improved in durability by preventing grinding burn of the inner ring 3. Here, the area A1 of the large end surface 3b indicates the area (projected area) before the recess 11 is formed.

また、凹部11の深さtは、研削取代(0.05〜0.10mm)よりも大きく、0.15〜1.0mmの範囲に設定されている。これにより、研削加工によって凹部11が削り取られて研削抵抗が上昇することはない。また、研削加工時のクーラントがこの凹部11に溜まり、研削抵抗を抑制することができる。ここで、凹部11の深さtが1.0mmを超えても良いが、加工量が増えることにより工程能力が低下すると共に、研削加工時に研削面にクーラントが滲み出難くなるので好ましくない。   Moreover, the depth t of the recessed part 11 is larger than the grinding allowance (0.05-0.10 mm), and is set to the range of 0.15-1.0 mm. Thereby, the concave portion 11 is not scraped off by the grinding process and the grinding resistance does not increase. Moreover, the coolant at the time of a grinding process accumulates in this recessed part 11, and grinding resistance can be suppressed. Here, the depth t of the recess 11 may exceed 1.0 mm, but this is not preferable because the processing capability is reduced due to an increase in the amount of processing, and the coolant is less likely to bleed onto the ground surface during grinding.

さらに、大端面3b側の面取り部12、13と小端面3c側の面取り部14の径方向寸法を考慮することによって大端面3bの面積A0と小端面3cの面積A2が同一となるように設定することができる。これにより、両頭研削盤で内輪3の両端面3b、3cを研削加工する際、加工時に発生する研削抵抗の差をなくすことができ、内輪3の研削焼けを確実に防止することができる。   Further, by considering the radial dimensions of the chamfered portions 12 and 13 on the large end surface 3b side and the chamfered portion 14 on the small end surface 3c side, the area A0 of the large end surface 3b and the area A2 of the small end surface 3c are set to be the same. can do. Thereby, when grinding the both end faces 3b, 3c of the inner ring 3 with a double-head grinding machine, the difference in grinding resistance generated during the machining can be eliminated, and grinding burn of the inner ring 3 can be reliably prevented.

図3〜図9に内輪3の変形例を示す。なお、前述した実施形態と同一部位あるいは同様の機能を有する部位には同じ符号を付して詳細な説明を省略する。図3に示す内輪15の大端面3bには、径方向に延びる複数の凹部15aが周方向等配に鍛造加工によって形成されている。これにより、旋削加工の手間が省け加工効率が向上すると共に、研削加工時に研削面にクーラントが滲み出易くなり、大端面3bと小端面3cの面積比が小さくなることと相俟って大端面3b側の研削抵抗を減少させることができる。   3 to 9 show modified examples of the inner ring 3. In addition, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected to the site | part which has the same site | part or the same function as embodiment mentioned above, and detailed description is abbreviate | omitted. On the large end surface 3b of the inner ring 15 shown in FIG. 3, a plurality of concave portions 15a extending in the radial direction are formed by forging in a circumferentially equal distribution. This saves the labor of turning and improves the machining efficiency, and also makes it easy for the coolant to ooze out to the grinding surface during grinding, and the large end surface combined with the reduction in the area ratio of the large end surface 3b to the small end surface 3c. The grinding resistance on the 3b side can be reduced.

図4に示す内輪16の大端面3bには、外径側と内径側にそれぞれ環状の凹部16a、16bが鍛造加工によって形成されている。この凹部16a、16bのそれぞれの幅を所定値に設定することにより、大端面3bの面積A0=A1−A5−A6を小端面3cの面積A2に近付けることができ、大端面3bと小端面3cの面積比(A0/A2)を従来の面積比に比べ大幅に小さくすることができる。このように、大端面3bの外径側と内径側に環状の凹部16a、16bを形成することにより、搬送中あるいは製造工程で内輪16同士が衝突して角部にバリが発生することがあっても、直接そのバリが相手部品に接触するのを防止して組立精度を確保することができる。なお、環状の凹部16a、16bを2本に限らず多数同心状に形成しても良い。   On the large end surface 3b of the inner ring 16 shown in FIG. 4, annular recesses 16a and 16b are formed by forging on the outer diameter side and the inner diameter side, respectively. By setting the respective widths of the recesses 16a and 16b to a predetermined value, the area A0 = A1-A5-A6 of the large end face 3b can be brought close to the area A2 of the small end face 3c, and the large end face 3b and the small end face 3c. The area ratio (A0 / A2) can be significantly reduced as compared with the conventional area ratio. As described above, by forming the annular recesses 16a and 16b on the outer diameter side and the inner diameter side of the large end surface 3b, the inner rings 16 may collide with each other during conveyance or in the manufacturing process, and burrs may be generated at the corners. However, the assembly accuracy can be ensured by preventing the burr from coming into direct contact with the mating part. The annular recesses 16a and 16b are not limited to two and may be formed concentrically.

図5に示す内輪17の大端面3bには、外径側に複数の凹部16cと内径側に環状の凹部16bがそれぞれ鍛造加工によって形成されている。外径側の凹部16cは周方向等配に形成されている。そして、この凹部16a、16bのそれぞれの幅を所定値に設定することにより、内輪17の剛性を低下させることなく、大端面3bの面積A0=A1−A5−A6を小端面3cの面積A2に近付けることができる。   On the large end surface 3b of the inner ring 17 shown in FIG. 5, a plurality of recesses 16c are formed on the outer diameter side and an annular recess 16b is formed on the inner diameter side by forging. The recesses 16c on the outer diameter side are formed in a circumferentially uniform manner. Then, by setting the widths of the recesses 16a and 16b to predetermined values, the area A0 of the large end surface 3b is reduced to the area A2 of the small end surface 3c without reducing the rigidity of the inner ring 17. You can get closer.

図6に示す内輪18の大端面3bには、外径側に環状の凹部18aが鍛造加工によって形成されている。この凹部18aの幅を所定値に設定することにより、大端面3bの面積A0=A1−A7を小端面3cの面積A2に近付けることができる。なお、凹部18aの深さt1は、図示しないシールの嵌合面を残して最大限に深く設定されている。これにより、実質的に内輪18の外径を小さくすることができ、軸受のサイズや内輪18の外径および肩部の幅を無駄にアップさせることなく、効果的に肩乗り上げを防止して耐久性を確保することができる。ここで、肩乗り上げとは、例えば、軸受に大きなモーメント荷重が負荷された時に、転動体6と内側転走面3aとの接触部に発生する接触楕円が肩部と内側転走面3aの角部からはみ出し、所謂エッジロード(過大応力)が発生する現象を言う。   An annular recess 18a is formed on the outer diameter side of the large end surface 3b of the inner ring 18 shown in FIG. 6 by forging. By setting the width of the recess 18a to a predetermined value, the area A0 = A1-A7 of the large end face 3b can be brought close to the area A2 of the small end face 3c. The depth t1 of the recess 18a is set to the maximum depth, leaving a seal fitting surface (not shown). As a result, the outer diameter of the inner ring 18 can be substantially reduced, and the shoulder ride is effectively prevented and durable without increasing the bearing size, the outer diameter of the inner ring 18 and the width of the shoulder. Sex can be secured. Here, the shoulder climbing means that, for example, when a large moment load is applied to the bearing, a contact ellipse generated at the contact portion between the rolling element 6 and the inner rolling surface 3a is an angle between the shoulder portion and the inner rolling surface 3a. This is a phenomenon in which a so-called edge load (excessive stress) is generated.

図7に示す内輪19の大端面3bには、外径側に複数の凹部19aが鍛造加工によって形成されている。この凹部19aは周方向等配に形成されている。そして、この凹部19aの幅を所定値に設定することにより、内輪19の剛性を低下させることなく、大端面3bの面積A0=A1−A7を小端面3cの面積A2に近付けることができる。   In the large end surface 3b of the inner ring 19 shown in FIG. 7, a plurality of recesses 19a are formed on the outer diameter side by forging. The recesses 19a are formed in a circumferentially equidistant manner. By setting the width of the recess 19a to a predetermined value, the area A0 = A1-A7 of the large end face 3b can be brought close to the area A2 of the small end face 3c without reducing the rigidity of the inner ring 19.

図8に示す内輪20の大端面3bには、外径側に環状の凹部20aが旋削加工によって形成されている。ここで、大端面3bの面積A2が小端面3cの面積A2と略同一になるように、凹部20aの幅が所定値に設定されている(A2=A1−A8)。なお、凹部20aの深さt2は、内輪20同士の衝突により発生するバリ等が大端面3よりも出っ張らない程度の深さ、例えば、0.5〜1.0mm程度に設定されている。   In the large end surface 3b of the inner ring 20 shown in FIG. 8, an annular recess 20a is formed on the outer diameter side by turning. Here, the width of the recess 20a is set to a predetermined value so that the area A2 of the large end face 3b is substantially the same as the area A2 of the small end face 3c (A2 = A1-A8). The depth t2 of the recess 20a is set to such a depth that a burr or the like generated by the collision between the inner rings 20 does not protrude from the large end surface 3, for example, about 0.5 to 1.0 mm.

図9に示す内輪21の大端面3bと肩部22との角部には、曲率半径Rからなる円弧状の面取り部21aが旋削加工によって形成されている。ここで、大端面3bの面積A2が小端面3cの面積A2と略同一になるように、面取り部21aの径方向の寸法が所定値に設定されている(A2=A1−A8)。これにより、応力集中を緩和でき、加締加工時に内輪21の外径に発生するフープ応力を所定値以下に抑えることができると共に、軸受のサイズや内輪21の外径および肩部22の幅を無駄にアップさせることなく、効果的に肩乗り上げを防止して耐久性を確保することができる。   An arc-shaped chamfered portion 21a having a radius of curvature R is formed by turning at the corner between the large end surface 3b and the shoulder portion 22 of the inner ring 21 shown in FIG. Here, the radial dimension of the chamfered portion 21a is set to a predetermined value so that the area A2 of the large end surface 3b is substantially the same as the area A2 of the small end surface 3c (A2 = A1-A8). As a result, stress concentration can be alleviated, hoop stress generated on the outer diameter of the inner ring 21 during caulking can be suppressed to a predetermined value or less, and the bearing size, the outer diameter of the inner ring 21 and the width of the shoulder portion 22 can be reduced. Without raising wastefully, it is possible to effectively prevent shoulder climbing and ensure durability.
