Improvements in and relating to ball bearings

Abstract

Abstract 217,848. Dowald, A. Dec. 14, 1923. Ball bearings. - To obtain rolling of the balls without slip in a ball bearing having races with flanges h to take up axial thrust, the ball grooves have a radius greater than the ball radius, and when taking radial and axial load the points of contact a, a<1>, b, b<1>, of the balls with the races lie on the surfaces of cones having their apices in one point O on the bearing axis, while when the load is only radial the points of contact lie in the central plane of the row of balls. The radius of each ball groove is preferably two-thirds of the diameter of the ball.
