FREEWHEEL CAGE
The invention relates to a free-wheeling cage having a basic body, wherein the basic body includes a first cage ring and a second cage ring, which are arranged around a common axis and wherein cage webs extend axially between the two cage rings, whereby cage pockets are formed, wherein the basic body includes a lubricant reservoir which allows a metered dispensing of lubricant.
1 . An apparatus for a free-wheeling cage, comprising:
a basic body, wherein the basic body comprises a first cage ring and a second cage ring, which are arranged around a common axis and wherein cage webs extend between the two cage rings, whereby cage pockets are formed, wherein the basic body comprises a lubricant reservoir which allows a metered dispensing of lubricant.
2 . The free-wheeling cage as recited in claim 1 , wherein the lubricant reservoir is formed by means of a container, wherein the one container is arranged in one of the cage pockets.
3 . The free-wheeling cage as recited in claim 2 , wherein the container is designed as a separate component and wherein the shape and size of the container coincides with the shape and size of a cage pocket.
4 . The free-wheeling cage as recited in claim 3 , wherein the container is attached in one of the cage pockets by means of form closure.
5 . The free-wheeling cage as recited in claim 2 , wherein the container is formed as one piece with the basic body.
6 . The free-wheeling cage as recited in claim 5 , wherein a cage ring comprises a recess in the region of the container and wherein the recess is positively locked by means of a ring.
7 . The free-wheeling cage as recited in claim 1 , wherein the container comprises a radial opening, which is used for the metered dispensing of lubricant.
8 . The free-wheeling cage as recited in claim 1 , wherein a free-wheeling cage is arranged between a driving part and a driven part and wherein clamping bodies are provided in the cage pockets, wherein spring-loaded elements are provided for the spring bias of the clamping bodies.
9 . The free-wheeling cage as recited in claim 8 , wherein the clamping bodies are designed as clamping rollers.
