Assembly including a rotary shaft and a roller bearing
View Patent ↗An assembly composed of a rotary shaft and of a roller bearing supporting said shaft, the bearing including a ring interconnected with the shaft and forming a raceway. The assembly provides that the ring is immobilized in rotation on the shaft by a coupling formed by a plurality of teeth on the shaft cooperating with lugs interconnected with the ring, the lugs being received between said teeth. The ring is retained in an axial direction by a snap ring transversal in the form of a ring portion.
1. An assembly comprising:
a rotary shaft; and
an internal ring of a roller bearing supporting said shaft, the ring being interconnected with the shaft and forming a raceway,
wherein the ring is immobilized in rotation on the shaft by a coupling formed by a plurality of teeth on the shaft cooperating with lugs interconnected with the ring, the lugs being received between said teeth, and the ring being retained in an axial direction by a transversal snap ring forming a ring portion,
wherein the shaft comprises a cylindrical portion forming an external radial stop disposed radially outward of and overlapping, in a radial direction, a portion of the lugs, the portion of the lugs being disposed, in the axial direction, farther from the raceway than is disposed the snap ring,
wherein the ring includes an annular notch facing radially outward and configured to cooperate with an extraction tool,
wherein the raceway is disposed, in the axial direction, between the annular notch and the snap ring.
2. The assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the snap ring is made of an elastic material and, in a first state, has a first radially extended shape that forms an axial retention and, in a second state, has a radially retracted shape that enables axial displacement of the ring relative to the shaft.
3. The assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the ring is installed on the outer surface of the shaft.
4. The assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the shaft is a gas turbine engine shaft.
5. The assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the shaft includes tabs on an external surface configured to form a labyrinth seal.
6. The assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the snap ring, with respect to a radial direction, is disposed directly between the ring and the rotary shaft.
7. The assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the rotary shaft includes a first groove, which opens in a first radial direction.
8. The assembly according to claim 7 , wherein the ring includes a second groove, which opens in a second radial direction opposite the first radial direction.
9. The assembly according to claim 8 , wherein the first and second grooves oppose each other and the snap ring is disposed inside both of the first and second grooves.
10. A gas turbine including the assembly recited in claim 1 .
11. The assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the portion of the lugs extends, in the axial direction, partially into the shaft.
12. The assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the portion includes a free end of the lugs.
13. An assembly comprising:
a rotary shaft; and
an internal ring of a roller bearing supporting said shaft, the ring being interconnected with the shaft and forming a raceway,
wherein the ring is immobilized in rotation on the shaft by a coupling formed by a plurality of teeth on the shaft cooperating with lugs interconnected with the ring, the lugs being received between said teeth, and the ring being retained in an axial direction by a transversal snap ring forming a ring portion,
wherein the shaft comprises a cylindrical portion forming an external radial stop disposed radially outward of and overlapping, in a radial direction, a portion of the lugs, the portion of the lugs being disposed, in the axial direction, farther from the raceway than is disposed the snap ring, and
wherein the cylindrical portion forming an external radial stop directly contacts the lugs in the radial direction.
