AXIALLY RESTRAINED AND BALANCED ECCENTRIC BEARING

摘要

A bearing assembly (10) is mounted on an eccentric sleeve (12) having a bore for receiving a rotatable shaft (14). After the bearing assembly (10) is mounted on the eccentric sleeve (12), a counterweight lobe is mounted on the eccentric sleeve, abutting the bearing assembly, to control dynamic balance of the bearing and sleeve assembly and to restrain movement of the bearing assembly along the axis of the bore. The eccentric sleeve and counterweight lobe are keyed together to prevent relative rotation therebetween.
