Abstract:
Method for clearance adjustment in a single row adjustable rolling bearing having only a single inner race ring provided with only one race track forming a first race track and only a single outer race ring provided with only one race track forming a second race track, comprising positioning a plurality of rollers in a single row between and in contact with said first race track of the single inner race ring and said second race track of the single outer race ring, each race track being made in one piece, said rollers and race tracks having longitudinal section profiles which each possess a radius of curvature, the rollers and the first and second race tracks having substantially the same radius of curvature, said rollers thereby being axially moveable between the race tracks without being hindered by axial limitations at the race tracks, in order to allow relative misalignment and axial displaceability of the race tracks, the step of positioning the rollers involving positioning the rollers between the first and second race tracks such that the centers of the radii of curvature of the first and second race tracks of the inner and outer race rings are axially displaced relative to each other.
