A wedge-type bearing assembly (10) includes a split cylindrical adapter sleeve (16) for wrapping around a shaft (12). The sleeve has a radially outwardly facing tapered surface (40). An inner ring (18) encircles the adapter sleeve and has a radially inwardly facing surface (46) engaging the tapered surface of the adapter sleeve. In one embodiment, a visual indicator (80) fixed to a lock nut (20) connecting the adapter sleeve and inner ring indicates when the adapter sleeve is sufficiently tightened onto the shaft. In another embodiment, a positive locking key (54) prevents rotation of the inner ring relative to the adapter sleeve. |
