flanges Explanation: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ball_bearing Flanged[edit] Bearings with a flange on the outer ring simplify axial location. The housing for such bearings can consist of a through-hole of uniform diameter, but the entry face of the housing (which may be either the outer or inner face) must be machined truly normal to the hole axis. However such flanges are very expensive to manufacture. A more cost effective arrangement of the bearing outer ring, with similar benefits, is a snap ring groove at either or both ends of the outside diameter. The snap ring assumes the function of a flange. http://dict.leo.org/englisch-deutsch/bord |

ribs or lips Explanation: For variety, here are another couple of options. rib is used by the IBC company http://www.ibc-waelzlager.eu/dmdocuments/Zylinderrollenlager... http://www.ibc-waelzlager.eu/dmdocuments/en2009/Cylindrical_... and apparently also by the Schaeffler company http://www.linguee.de/deutsch-englisch/search?source=auto&qu... lip also appears in the IBC company's booklet (but only in the phrase "lip crack"), and in the brochure/catalogue entitled "Sealing rings — Single lip and double lip" from Schaeffler http://www.schaeffler.com/remotemedien/media/_shared_media/0... and in this entry from Bearings.Parts "6203-2RK Radial Ball Bearing with Double Lip Seal" http://www.bearings.parts/6203-2RK-radial-ball-bearing flange may indeed be a good option, as per the Wikipedia link already posted. However, it might also lead to confusion/conflict with other possible implementations of flanges external to the bearing itself, as in http://www.bearings.parts/4-bolt-flange-bearing which has a big chunky flange that I think is doing a different job to that described in the text of the question posed here. However, I am not an specialist in ball bearing construction, so confidence level is not great for that reason. |
