Abstract

The invention relates to a shaft bearing assembly ( 1 ), comprising a machine part ( 2 ), in which a shaft ( 5 ) is rotatably mounted on two axially spaced bearing points ( 6, 7 ), wherein the first bearing point ( 6 ) is arranged in a stationary manner and the second bearing point ( 7 ) can be moved relative to the first bearing point ( 6 ) such that a movement of the second bearing point ( 7 ) causes a pivoting of the shaft ( 5 ) about a rotational axis ( 8 ) in the region of the first bearing point ( 6 ).

Claims (16)

1. A shaft bearing assembly, comprising:

a machine part having a first machine part element and a second machine part element, said second machine part element including a plurality of openings;

fasteners threadably engaged in the first machine part and projecting through the openings of the second machine part, with the fasteners being arranged with adjustment play in the openings;

a first fixed bearing point arranged in or on the first machine part element for rotatably supporting a shaft; and

a second bearing point arranged in or on the second machine part element for rotatably supporting the shaft at a location which is spaced from the first bearing point in axial direction, said second bearing point being adjustable relative to the first bearing point in opposition to a restoring force for pivoting the shaft about an axis of rotation in a region of the first bearing point.

2. The shaft bearing assembly of claim 1 , wherein the fasteners are fixing bolts.

3. The shaft bearing assembly of claim 1 , wherein the second bearing point is configured for continuous adjustment.

4. The shaft bearing assembly of claim 1 , wherein the first bearing point includes a shaft bearing which is aligned parallel to a shaft bearing plane, and the second bearing point includes a shaft bearing which is aligned parallel to the shaft bearing plane and adjustable parallel to the shaft bearing plane.

5. The shaft bearing assembly of claim 1 , wherein the second machine part element is adjustable relative to the first machine part element along a guidance.

6. The shaft bearing assembly of claim 1 , further comprising an alignment mechanism for aligning the second machine part element in relation to the first machine part element.

7. The shaft bearing assembly of claim 1 , wherein the machine part is embodied as a housing, and further comprising a seal provided between the first machine part element and the second machine part element.

8. The shaft bearing assembly of claim 7 , wherein the seal is an O-ring.

9. The shaft bearing assembly of claim 1 , further comprising a displacement mechanism for displacing the second machine part element relative to the first machine part element.

10. The shaft bearing assembly of claim 9 , wherein the displacement mechanism includes an eccentric.

11. The shaft bearing assembly of claim 1 , wherein the openings lie on a circle.

12. The shaft bearing assembly of claim 1 , wherein the shaft is embodied as a first gear part or includes such a first gear part, with a second gear part being arranged in the machine part and interacting with the first gear part.
