Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A cartridge bearing assembly for rotatably coupling a shaft with a housing includes a bearing having a central axis and opposing axial ends. The bearing includes first and second, axially spaced inner rings disposeable upon the shaft, at least one outer ring disposed circumferentially about the two inner rings, and first and second sets of rolling elements disposed between the inner and outer rings. A carrier includes a first tubular portion disposed generally about the bearing first axial end and a second tubular portion disposed generally about the bearing second axial end. The first and second tubular portions are coupled together to enclose the bearing, the carrier being at least partially disposeable within the housing bore so as to couple the bearing with the housing. Preferably, a coupler is provided to connect the first and second inner rings so as to establish preload within the bearing.
