Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A bearing isolator assembly comprises an inner support member, an outer support member, a resilient member, an elastomeric ring, and a support cap disposed over a bearing surface defined by the inner support member or the outer support member. A path of travel is defined between the inner support member and the outer support member. The resilient member is disposed between the inner support member and the outer support member and is configured to resist compression between the inner support member and the outer support member within a first portion of the path of travel. The outer support member defines a ring envelope, in which the elastomeric ring is disposed. The inner support member defines a ring compression surface, and the elastomeric ring is configured to resist compression between the ring compression surface of the inner support member and the ring compression surface of the outer support member within a second portion of the path of travel.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
Having thus described the invention, it is claimed: 1. A bearing isolator assembly comprising: an inner support member; an outer support member defining an outer bearing surface, the outer support member configured to cooperate with the inner support member so as to define a path of travel of the inner support member relative to the outer support member; a resilient member; and an elastomeric ring; wherein the inner support member defines an inner spring seat directed towa…
