Radial needle bearing for backlash-free bearing of steering shaft in steering tube of motor vehicle, has needle cage formed with radially outward molded and rotating guide at outer circumference and axially supportable in reinforcing seam

摘要

The bearing (1) has a flexible outer ring (6) whose axial width is reduced to axial width of a thin-walled axially slotted sleeve (5) and a needle cage (2). The ring is formed with a circulating groove at an interior lateral surface. The sleeve is formed with a circulating reinforcing seam that is incorporated into an outside career (4) of bearing needles (3). The sleeve is axially fixable with the needles in the groove at the ring. The cage is formed with a radially outward molded and rotating guide at outer circumference. The cage is axially supportable in the seam.
