BEARING ASSEMBLY

摘要

A method of manufacturing a bearing assembly includes the steps of providing first (38) and second (42) cage frames, each including a plurality of holes (46) spaced along a circumference of the respective first and second cage frames (38, 42), positioning a plurality of rollers (22) between the first and second cage frames (38, 42), each of the rollers (22) including a bore (26) coaxial with a rotational axis (30) of the respective rollers (22), aligning the bore (26) of a first of the plurality of rollers (22) with a first hole (46) in each of the respective first and second cage frames (38, 42), then sliding a threaded end (54) of a pin (50) through the first hole (46) in the first cage frame (38) and the first roller (22) a sufficient distance to engage the second cage frame (42). The method further includes rotating the pin (50) to form a screw thread in the first hole (46) of the second cage frame (42) with the threaded end (54) of the pin (50).
