Abstract
A post bearing and an apparatus for its manufacture in which bearing balls are loaded into a series of pocket holes arranged along a helical pattern in a cage sleeve.
Description
- This application is a divisional of and claims priority to application having Ser. No. 10/703,194, and a filing date of Nov. 5, 2003 entitled A Method of Manufacturing a Post Ball Bearing with Helical Arrangement of Pocket Holes.
- This invention concerns post ball bearings of the type used for dies comprised of a cage sleeve having a distributed array of ball bearings, each captured in a through pocket hole in the sleeve wall. The balls are sized to protrude from both the inside and outside sleeve diameters when the sleeve is received over a shaft and confined within an outer sleeve.
- The balls have conventionally been captured in the pocket holes by machining the holes to have a flange at the inside wall of the sleeve, and the area around each hole at the outer wall of the sleeve is swaged to reduce the hole diameter slightly after the ball is installed to allow the ball to rotate freely therein while preventing its escape.
- This swaging has been accomplished in several ways, but typically requires that a separate swaging operation be performed on each hole, which is a slow and expensive process since large numbers of holes are required for each post bearing.
- In one commercially available design, pairs of swaged indentations are formed around the sleeve located on either side of each of a series of annular rows of holes in the sleeve.
- While somewhat simplifying the manufacturing steps, this method still requires extensive processing time due to the large number of separate swaging operations for each row of balls.
- It is the object of the present invention to provide a post bearing of the type described and a method of manufacture which minimizes and simplifies the swaging operations required in securing the balls within the pocket holes in the sleeve cage.
- Embodiments of the invention provide a post bearing in which a series of counterbored pocket holes are formed into the cage sleeve in a helical pattern, and the balls loaded into the holes. A rim formed at the inside of each hole prevents the balls from passing completely through the holes. The balls are captured by swaging a single spiral groove into the cage sleeve outside diameter lying in between each helical turn of the series of pocket holes, causing a slight displacement of the cage sleeve material adjacent the top of both sides of each pocket hole, preventing the escape of the balls.
- The balls may be loaded by a dispenser having a loading tube coming into registry with each successive hole in the helix to allow loading of the balls just prior to swaging the groove in between the hole pattern turns to simplify the manufacturing steps required.
- The balls may be retained by tape applied from a dispenser or a magnetic arbor holding the balls in the pockets until the swaging operation secures the same in the pocket hole.

FIG. 4 is a diagrammatic depiction of the basic apparatus for carrying out the manufacturing method according an illustrative embodiment of the invention. -
FIG. 5 is a diagrammatic depiction of an alternate apparatus of the basic apparatus for carrying out the manufacturing method according to a further illustrative embodiment of the invention - In the following detailed description, certain specific terminology will be employed for the sake of clarity in a particular embodiment described, but it is to be understood that the same is not intended to be limiting and should not be so construed inasmuch as the invention is capable of taking many forms and variations within the scope of the appended claims.
- Referring to the drawings, a post bearing 10 is depicted which includes a
sleeve cage 12 having a series ofbearing balls 14 each protruding from one of a helical array ofpocket holes 16. The post bearing 10 is received on ashaft 18 passing within the inside diameter of thesleeve cage 12, and anouter sleeve member 20 receives the outside diameter of thebearing 10. Theballs 14 protrude from both the inside and outside diameter of thesleeve cage 12 and engage both theouter sleeve 20 and theshaft 18. Theballs 14 are fit within thepocket holes 16 so as to be freely rotatable therein to create a rolling contact to provide for low friction linear motion between theshaft 18 andouter sleeve 20. -
FIG. 2 shows a segment of thecage sleeve 12 with aball 14 deposited in eachpocket hole 16. Theholes 16 are machined into the side wall of thecage sleeve 12 with a counterbore producing aflange 21 at the inside end of eachhole 16. Eachflange 21 is sized to allow the associatedball 14 to protrude in past the inside diameter of thecage sleeve 12 to enable rolling contact to be established with theshaft 18. - The
pocket holes 16 are arranged along the turns of a helical pattern about the axis of thecage sleeve 12 forming anintermediate band 22 between successive turns of the hole pattern. - As seen in
FIG. 3 , aswaging tool 24 engages theintermediate band 22 to swage a shallowhelical groove 26 into the outside diameter of thecage sleeve 12, forcing material of the cage sleeve 12 (normally of steel) to protrude over the outside end of thepocket holes 16, capturing theballs 14 in thepocket holes 16 while allowing the same to freely roll therein while protruding slightly out from the outside diameter of thecage sleeve 12. A temporary tape winding 28 can be applied to hold theballs 14 in place prior to swaging thegroove 26. -
FIG. 4 is a diagrammatic representation of apparatus which can be used to manufacture the post bearing 10. - The helical series of
pocket holes 16 are machined into thecage sleeve 12, which is thereafter chucked into acarriage 30 using separabletapered chucks drive motor 38 for rotating thesleeve 12 is also operated as thecarriage 30 is traversed by anactuator 32 past a ball loader/dispenser 34. Aball 14 is loaded by gravity into eachhole 16 as thesleeve 12 is rotated and moved axially to present eachhole 16 in succession beneath the ball loader/dispenser 34. - A
tape applicator 36 applies a loop oftape 28 to temporarily retain theballs 14 in thepocket holes 16. - The
swaging tool 24 driven by arotary drive 40 then rolls asingle groove 26 between the helical turns along which theballs 14 are arranged to permanently capture the same. - Thus, continuous loading and swaging steps are utilized to form each post bearing 10 to improve the efficiency of their manufacture.
-
FIG. 5 shows an alternative apparatus in which amagnetic arbor 42 is used to hold theballs 14 in thepockets 16 after being dispensed therein until the swaging operation is complete.
