Rolling bearing
View Patent ↗A rolling bearing, which has at least one bearing ring and at least one lash compensation element possessing temperature-dependent extendibility arranged on the bearing ring. The rolling bearing has ring profile, which at least partially surrounds the lash compensation clement. The ring profile has at least one hollow cylindrical section oriented axially parallel to an axis of rotation of the rolling bearing and at least one radially oriented disk section. Also, at least one slit is formed in the ring profile.
1. A rolling bearing, comprising:
at least one bearing ring having an inner corner formed by a circular ring surface and an outer cylindrical surface;
at least one lash compensation element possessing temperature-dependent extendibility arranged on the at least one bearing ring of the rolling bearing in the inner corner;
a ring profile, which at least partially surrounds the lash compensation element, having at least one hollow cylindrical section oriented axially parallel to an axis of rotation of the rolling bearing, and at least one radially oriented disk section; and
at least one slit formed in the ring profile, wherein the ring profile allows the at least one lash compensation element to expand both axially radially.
2. The rolling bearing according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one slit is formed in the hollow cylindrical section.
3. The rolling bearing according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one slit is formed in the disk section.
4. The rolling bearing according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one slit is disposed between the disk section and the hollow cylindrical section.
5. The rolling bearing according to claim 1 , wherein the lash compensation element is a thermo compensation element made at least of one material which possesses a thermal expansion coefficient that is different from thermal expansion coefficients of materials made of light metal alloys or of steel.
