ADJUSTMENT UNIT AND ADJUSTMENT DEVICE FOR ADJUSTING A RELATIVE POSITION OF COMPONENTS SUPPORTED AGAINST ONE ANOTHER - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240010278 titled 'ADJUSTMENT UNIT AND ADJUSTMENT DEVICE FOR ADJUSTING A RELATIVE POSITION OF COMPONENTS SUPPORTED AGAINST ONE ANOTHER

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an adjustment unit with a bearing that has an inner core. The inner core has a passage extending in its longitudinal direction. A spacing element is placed in the passage, which has an opening for receiving a bearing pin. The opening extends along a longitudinal axis, which defines the attachment axis of the bearing. The attachment axis and the bearing axis can be adjusted relative to each other by adjusting the spacing element. The spacing element is movably arranged in the direction of the passage. When the bearing is installed, the spacing element is axially adjusted along the attachment axis, causing a translational deflection of the inner core transversely to the attachment axis.

  • The patent application describes an adjustment unit with a bearing and a spacing element.
  • The spacing element is placed in the passage of the inner core and has an opening for receiving a bearing pin.
  • The opening of the spacing element extends along the attachment axis of the bearing.
  • The spacing element can be adjusted to change the relative positions of the attachment axis and the bearing axis.
  • When the bearing is installed, the spacing element causes a translational deflection of the inner core transversely to the attachment axis.

Potential Applications

  • Industrial machinery and equipment
  • Automotive industry
  • Aerospace industry
  • Robotics and automation

Problems Solved

  • Allows for adjustable positioning of the bearing axis relative to the attachment axis
  • Provides a means for translational deflection of the inner core

Benefits

  • Improved flexibility in adjusting and aligning bearings
  • Enhanced precision and control in various applications
  • Simplified installation and maintenance processes


Original Abstract Submitted

an adjustment unit including a bearing having an inner core formed with a passage extending in the longitudinal direction of the inner core. a spacing element is arranged in the passage, which spacing element has an opening for receiving a bearing pin, the opening extends along a longitudinal axis which defines the attachment axis of the bearing, and the attachment axis and the bearing axis are adjustable relative to one another by adjusting the spacing element. the spacing element is movably arranged in the direction of extension of the passage. when the bearing is installed, the spacing element is axially adjusted along the attachment axis and causes a translational deflection of the inner core transversely to the attachment axis.
