【発明の詳細な説明】 本発明は、一方のレース、他方のレース、転動
体及び保持器からなる転がり軸受に関するもので
ある。
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a rolling bearing comprising one race, another race, rolling elements, and a cage.

殊に、回転トルクの調節を可能とした転がり軸
受に関するものである。
In particular, it relates to a rolling bearing that allows adjustment of rotational torque.

ある種の装置の軸受は回転動力を断つたとき
に、即座に回転が休止することが望ましいものが
ある。
It is desirable for bearings in certain types of devices to immediately stop rotating when rotational power is cut off.

それは回転座上に載置される装置が必要な位置
(回転角度)に止まることによつて、その装置の
機能が目的対象に対し発揮される必要からであ
る。
This is because the function of the device placed on the rotary seat must be exerted on the target object by stopping at the required position (rotation angle).

一般に転がり軸受の摩擦係数は極めて小さく、
回転動力を断つても回転物の慣性で引き続き回転
し、即座には停止しない。
Generally, the friction coefficient of rolling bearings is extremely small.
Even if the rotational power is cut off, it will continue to rotate due to the inertia of the rotating object and will not stop immediately.

そこで、回転停止させたい場合には、軸受外部
にブレーキ装置を取り付けている。
Therefore, if it is desired to stop the rotation, a brake device is attached to the outside of the bearing.

一方、軸受自身で回転トルクを高め、早く停止
する方法もある。
On the other hand, there is also a method of increasing the rotational torque of the bearing itself and stopping it quickly.

例えば、一方のレースに固定した部材を他方の

は、実公昭55−23066号公報に開示されている如
く、各レースと保持器の間に波形リング状のばね

もある。
For example, a member fixed to one race may be slid onto the other race to increase torque, or a corrugated ring may be formed between each race and the retainer as disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 55-23066. Another method is to use a spring to increase the friction between the two races.

しかし、これ等従来のものにあつては通常の軸
受部品以外に更にトルクを高める必要な部材を軸
受外にあるいは軸受内に装着する必要がある。
However, in these conventional bearings, in addition to normal bearing parts, it is necessary to install members necessary to further increase the torque outside or inside the bearing.

また、それらは所望トルクを得るための調節が
容易でない。
Also, they are not easy to adjust to obtain the desired torque.

Alternatively, it is possible to use a preload clearance in the bearing to increase the contact pressure between the rolling elements and the raceway to increase the torque. It is necessary to obtain a preload or use a combination bearing, and furthermore, the rotational torque fluctuates due to errors in the shape of the raceway surface, so it is not preferable for use in the above-mentioned device.
