Abstract:
An industrial mower sealed roller bearing system provides a roller bearing to avoid repeated and frequent repacking. The system includes an industrial mower having a roller mount and a ground roller. The ground roller bearing includes an insert body having a first end, a closed second end, and a channel extending into the first end towards the second end. An outer section of a shaft extends from the insert body and is couplable to the roller mount. A face seal is provided at the first end of the insert body to define a sealed interior chamber. The face seal is positioned relative to the insert body and the shaft such that the insert body is rotatable relative to the shaft. Each of a plurality of interior bearings is positioned within the sealed interior chamber of the insert body such that the insert body is rotatable relative to the shaft.

Claim (Index 9):
An industrial mower sealed roller bearing system comprising:\n an industrial mower having a roller mount and a ground roller removably positionable to extend from said roller mount, said roller mount including a receiver, said receiver including an aperture extending through said receiver; a ground roller bearing removably coupled to an end of said ground roller, said ground roller bearing being couplable to said roller mount wherein said ground roller is rotatable relative to said roller mount, said ground roller bearing comprising\n an insert body, said insert body being couplable to said ground roller, said insert body having a first end and a second end, said insert body having a channel extending into said first end towards said second end, said second end of said insert body being closed, said insert body having a main section and an end section, said end section being coupled to said main section to define said second end of said insert body, said channel having an first end portion, a second end portion, and a medial portion extending between said first end portion and said second end portion, said medial portion having a circumference less than respective circumferences of each of said first end portion and said second end portion, \n a shaft extending into said insert body through said first end, an outer section of said shaft extending from said insert body being couplable to said roller mount, a distal end surface of said shaft relative to said insert body having a threaded bore extending therein, said distal end surface of said shaft being positionable within said receiver such that said threaded bore aligns with said aperture through said receiver, said shaft having a circumferential lip, \n a face seal positioned in said insert body and engaging said shaft proximate to said first end of said insert body defining a sealed interior chamber of said insert body, said face seal being coupled to said insert body and said shaft such that said insert body is rotatable relative to said shaft, \n a plurality of interior bearings being positioned within said sealed interior chamber of said insert body wherein said insert body is rotatable relative to said shaft, said plurality of interior bearings including a first bearing positioned within said first end portion of said channel and a second bearing positioned within said second end portion of said channel, \n a flange extending laterally outward from said insert body, said flange having a first surface coplanar with said first end of said insert body, said flange having a second surface positioned to abut said ground roller when said insert body is inserted into said ground roller, said flange having plurality of connection holes extending between said first surface of said flange and said second surface of said flange, said flange having a peripheral surface extending between said first surface and said second surface, said peripheral surface being angled such that said flange tapers extending from said second surface to said first surface, and \n a nut coupled to said shaft, said nut bearing against said second bearing wherein tightening of said nut urges said shaft inwardly into said channel and said circumferential lip against said face seal; \n a plurality of threaded openings extending into said ground roller, each of said threaded openings being alignable with an associated one of said connection holes when said insert body is inserted into said ground roller; a plurality of connectors, each of said connectors being extended through an associated one of said connection holes and engaged to said threaded opening wherein said insert body is coupled to said ground roller; and a fastener, said fastener extending through said aperture and into said threaded bore wherein said fastener threadedly engages said shaft to said roller mount.
