摘要

A bearing (10) and housing (20) assembly includes a housing (20) and an outer ring (12). The housing (20) has an interior surface (34) that defines a bore (26) extending therethrough. The outer ring (12) has a substantially cylindrical outer surface (14) that has a shoulder (16) proximate an end thereof. The shoulder (16) defines a self aligning mounting feature (28). The self aligning mounting feature (28) guides the outer ring (12) in the bore (26) during mounting prodedure.
