Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention resides in a method of manufacturing a bearing ring ( 101 ) for a rolling element bearing, wherein the bearing ring comprises a bearing race ( 102 ) made of a bearing grade steel and an overmolded part ( 106 ) that is preferably made of a lightweight metal such as aluminum or a thermoplastic material such as polyamide. According to the invention, the method comprises a step of hardening at least a raceway surface ( 103 ) of the bearing race prior to a step of joining the overmolded part ( 106 ) to the bearing race ( 102 ) in a molding process. In a further development, the method comprises a step of temperature control, to ensure that the temperature of the raceway surface ( 103 ) is kept below a predetermined value during the molding process.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method of manufacturing a bearing ring for a rolling element bearing, the method comprising: producing a bearing race of the bearing ring from a bearing grade steel, the bearing race being of annular shape and having a raceway surface adapted to serve as a raceway for rolling elements of the rolling element bearing; providing an overmoulded part configured to be secured over the bearing race over a surface radially opposite from the raceway surface…
