<p>A full complement antifriction bearing (A) includes a steel inner race (2), a steel outer race (4), and rolling elements (6) organized in a circular row between the races without a cage or retainer for separating the rolling elements. While the absence of a cage or retainers enable the bearing (A) to have the maximum number of rolling elements (6) and thus transfer greater loads, adjacent rolling elements (6) contact each other. Each rolling element (6) or every other rolling element (6) is covered with a tribological coating (30) that retards adhesive wear and reduces friction.</p> |
