Abstract

See full text

A roller bearing system for use with a rotating shaft remains locked to the shaft during thermal expansion and vibrations generated by the rotating shaft. The system includes a first bearing assembly with a first bearing cone connected to the shaft, a tubular member disposed around the shaft and positioned against the first bearing assembly, a disc spring assembly connected to the shaft and positioned between the tubular member and a clearance ring, a second bearing assembly with a second bearing cone connected to the shaft and positioned against the clearance ring, and a locking assembly connected to the shaft and positioned against the second bearing assembly. The locking assembly rotatably adjusts to exert sufficient pressure to lock the first bearing cone to the shaft and enable the disc spring assembly to generate a compression force to lock the second bearing cone to the shaft.
