Large roller bearing axial securing component - comprises wire ring with surface undulations differing in height and length
Shaped, axial securing components for large to very large roller bearings, which spring engages in a groove located near the running track on the edgeless side of a running ring. The component comprises a one-piece structure which is undulated in its radial plane, with a wire (1) bent to form a ring whose ends are firmly attached to the securing point (1'). The surface undulations of the component vary so that after one undulation having height h1 follows a further smaller undulation having height h2. Prior to assembly, the securing component is pre-bent into an elliptical shape, and the undulations in its surface, apart from having varying heights, are of differing lengths.
