A roller bearing assembly employing a plurality of elliptical roller bearings in surface contact and arranged to provide improved alignment in a race assembly. In an exemplary assembly, an inner race on a shaft has a convex surface and a first elliptical roller bearing has a concavity intermediate its ends having a radius equal to the radius of the curvature of the race for rolling contact therewith. The concavity of the first elliptical bearing has rolling contact with the convex or profile surface of a second elliptical roller bearing operating on an axis parallel with the axis of the first roller bearing but spaced outwardly therefrom. The assembly also includes a third elliptical roller bearing which operates on an axis parallel with the others and which has a peripheral concavity intermediate its ends. This latter concavity has a radius equal to the profile radius of the second roller bearing and is engaged by such convex surface. The convex or profile surface of the third roller bearing is in rolling contact with the concave surface of an outer race.
