摘要

The invention relates to a shaft bearing assembly and also to an industrial gear unit ( 30 ) comprising this bearing assembly. The bearing assembly ( 34 ) comprises two taper roller bearings mounted axially spaced apart on the shaft ( 35 ) with the bearings orientated in an O arrangement in which the rollers of each bearing increase in diameter in the direction away from the other bearing of the pair. In a gear unit ( 30 ) the outer cup of the taper roller bearing may be located by an abutment shoulder ( 32 ) formed in the housing ( 11 ) whilst the inner cone of the taper roller may be located by a lock nut ( 40 ) on a threaded end portion of the shaft ( 35 ) or by a circlip ( 61 ) disposed in annular groove in the shaft ( 35 ).
