Abstract

A pivot assembly bearing having a bearing inner ring, a shaft, a bearing outer ring, a housing, and an UV curable anaerobic adhesive fixing the bearing inner ring to the shaft, and the bearing outer ring to the housing, wherein the adhesive includes 15 to 25% of urethane acrylate, 45 to 55% of acrylic acid diester, less than 3% of acrylic acid monomer, 15 to 30% of hydroxyalkylmethacrylate, less than 3% of anaerobic catalyst, and less than 3% of photopolymerization initiating agent, and in addition, a coloring agent, if necessary. The pivot assembly bearing reduces outgas, shortens adhesive curing time, and no tack at the adhesive surface is obtained.

Claims (11)

1. A pivot assembly bearing comprising:

a bearing inner ring,

a shaft,

a bearing outer ring,

a housing, and

an UV curable anaerobic adhesive fixing at least the bearing inner ring to the shaft or the bearing outer ring to the housing,

wherein the adhesive comprises 15 to 25% of urethane acrylate, 45 to 55% of acrylic acid diester, less than 3% of acrylic acid monomer, 15 to 30% of hydroxyalkylmethacrylate, less than 3% of anaerobic catalyst, and less than 3% of photopolymerization initiator.

2. The pivot assembly bearing according to claim 1 ,

wherein UV light is irradiated on excess adhesive that protrudes from at least an adhered region of the bearing inner ring and the shaft or an adhered region of the bearing outer ring and the housing, to cure the excess adhesive.
