Since the housing 25 is made of an aluminum alloy as described above, the coefficient of linear expansion is as large as about three times that of the shaft 23 made of a steel material. Therefore, when the temperature changes due to the operation, the dimensional change amount of the housing 25 becomes larger than the dimensional change amount of the shaft 23, and it becomes impossible to maintain an appropriate preload of the bearing 21 which is initially set. As a solution to such problems,
Attempts have been made to provide an annular notch groove at the side edge on the thick wall side of the outer diameter surface of the outer ring, and insert an elastic body such as a resin member or a spring member into this groove. However, in that case, the number of parts increases, and it takes a lot of time and labor to handle the assembly into the housing.

This tapered roller bearing is fitted to the inner diameter surface of the housing in a state where the thick side width surface of the outer ring is engaged with the axial locking surface of the housing. The engagement causes the spring piece of the outer ring to be pressed against the locking surface of the housing. As a result, the spring piece is bent and the bearing is in the preloaded state. When the temperature rises during operation, an axial gap tends to be generated between the bearing outer ring and the locking surface of the housing due to the difference in linear expansion coefficient between the housing and the shaft. However, the spring piece expands in the width direction of the bearing by the elastic restoring force by the gap, and the pressure contact state with the locking surface of the housing is maintained. Therefore, preload release due to thermal expansion of the housing is prevented. When the spring piece is a leaf spring formed by a circumferential groove on the outer diameter surface of the outer ring, and the side surface of the spring piece is the inclined surface, when mounting the bearing, the inner diameter side portion of the thick side width surface of the outer ring Is pressed until it engages with the locking surface of the housing, the spring piece bends by a certain amount,
A constant amount of preload can be obtained.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. The tapered roller bearing 1 includes a tapered roller 5 held by a cage 4 between an inner ring 2 with a collar and an outer ring 3 without a collar.
It is of the type that intervenes. In this structure, the outer diameter side portion of the portion forming the thick side width surface 3b of the outer ring 3 is the spring piece 6 integrally formed with the outer ring 3. This spring piece 6 has an outer diameter surface 3a of the outer ring 3 near the thick side width surface 3b.
A ring-shaped leaf spring is formed between the circumferential groove 7 and the width surface 3b. The outer ring width surface portion 3b 1 formed of the side surface of the spring piece 6 is an inclined surface that gradually protrudes in the width direction as it approaches the outer diameter side, and the inner diameter side width surface portion 3b 2 of the width surface 3b is a predetermined protrusion amount h at the outer diameter end.

This tapered roller bearing 1 is shown in FIG.
As shown by the chain line in (B), the inner ring 2 is fixed to the shaft end small diameter portion 8a of the shaft 8 in the automobile transmission in a press-fitted state. The outer ring 3 is attached to the inner diameter surface portion 9a formed by the tubular portion of the housing 9 by loose fitting, and the thick side width surface 3b of the outer ring 3 is engaged with the axial locking surface 9b of the housing 9. This engagement is such that the inner diameter side width surface portion 3b 2 of the outer ring 3 is in contact with the locking surface 9b. As a result, the spring piece 6 of the outer ring 3 is pushed by the locking surface 9b and elastically bent, and a predetermined amount of preload is applied to the bearing 1 by the elastic restoring force. The housing 9 is made of aluminum alloy. In this type of transmission, the shaft 8 is supported at both ends by a pair of tapered roller bearings as in the conventional example, and the tapered roller bearing 1 of this embodiment is used for at least one of the bearings.

The operation of the above configuration will be described. At room temperature, the bearing outer ring 3 is in contact with the locking surface 9b of the housing 9 as described above. When the temperature of the transmission rises during operation, the difference in linear expansion coefficient between the aluminum alloy housing 9 and the steel shaft 8 causes the inner diameter side width surface portion 3b 2 of the outer ring 3 and the locking surface 9b of the housing 9 to be separated from each other. There is an axial gap between them. However, the bending of the spring piece 6 is restored by the elastic force by the amount of the gap, and the pressure contact state with the locking surface 9b of the housing 9 is maintained. Therefore, preload release due to thermal expansion of the housing 9 is prevented.

By absorbing the axial gap by the spring piece 6 as described above, the initially set proper preload can be maintained in a wide temperature range. Also, the spring piece 6
Since it is formed integrally with the outer ring 3, the number of parts is reduced compared to the case where a separate elastic member or the like is provided, and the handling such as assembling into the housing 9 is the same as that of a conventional general bearing. Easy to do. Moreover, the inner diameter side portion 3b 2 of the thick side width surface 3b of the outer ring 3 is engaged with the locking surface 9 of the housing 9.
A constant amount of preload can be obtained simply by pressing until it engages with b, and it is easy to set the amount of preload. Further, in this embodiment, since the spring piece 6 has a shape in which the outer diameter side gradually protrudes in the width direction, in the state of being attached to the housing 9, in general, substantially the entire outer ring width surface 3b is engaged with the locking surface 9b. . Therefore, the bearing 1 is stably fixed without being locally contacted.

According to the tapered roller bearing of the present invention, a part or the whole of the portion forming the width face on the thick side of the outer ring is a spring piece which can be bent in the width direction of the outer ring. The elastic restoring force of the spring piece prevents the occurrence of a gap between the outer ring of the bearing and the axial locking surface of the housing due to the difference in thermal expansion between and. Therefore, the proper preload set in the initial stage can be maintained in a wide temperature range,
Preload release is prevented. Further, since the spring piece is formed integrally with the outer ring, the number of parts is reduced, and handling such as assembling into the housing can be easily performed. Further, in the case of the invention of claim 2, since the spring piece is a ring-shaped leaf spring formed by the circumferential groove of the outer diameter surface of the outer ring, and the side surface of the spring piece is the inclined surface, the bearing is mounted. At this time, a constant amount of preload can be obtained by simply pressing until the inner diameter side portion of the thick side width surface of the outer ring engages with the locking surface of the housing.
Easy adjustment of preload amount. Further, since the spring piece is formed by the circumferential groove, the spring piece can be easily formed.
