Patent

CA 2308546

The disclosed invention provides an improved system and method for securing annular parts (5) such as bearings, bushings and seals in machines, providing a split housing (7, 8) with a groove on the inner surface that mates with the outer surface of the annular part (5). The annular part is held securely in the housing (7, 8) without twisting because of the shape of the groove (4), which has a cross section that is an arc of a circle, the circle having a radius that is less than the radius of the annular part (5). The invention also provides a method of making the groove (4) using a ball-nose cutter on a computer controlled milling machine, which method is much faster and easier than the present methods of machining housings and allows for improved accuracy. The use of the computer controlled milling machine is made possible by the innovative shape of the groove.

Cette invention concerne un système et un procédé améliorés de fixation de pièces annulaires (5) telles que des paliers, des douilles ou des joints dans des machines. Ce procédé consiste à préparer un cadre en deux parties (7, 8) dont la surface interne comporte une gorge qui correspond à la surface externe de la pièce annulaire (5). La pièce annulaire est maintenue en place dans le cadre (7, 8) sans aucune torsion grâce à la forme de la gorge (4). Cette dernière possède une section transversale en forme d'arc de cercle, le cercle ayant un rayon qui est inférieur à celui de la pièce annulaire (5). Cette invention concerne également un procédé de fabrication de cette gorge (4) à l'aide d'une fraise à nez sphérique qui est montée sur une fraiseuse commandée par ordinateur. Ce procédé est plus simple et plus rapide que les procédés d'usinage de cadres actuels, et permet d'obtenir une plus grande précision. L'utilisation d'une fraiseuse commandée par ordinateur est rendue possible grâce à la nouvelle forme de cette gorge.
