摘要

The roller assembly (9) consists of an internal ring (10) an external roller (11) between which is placed a ring of needle rollers (12) so that the whole assembly can pivot about their common axis (Z-Z). The whole assembly is held in position by split washers (16) which extend radially on either side of the interior ring (10) and the needle rollers (12) and further extend radially into a retaining throat (20) provided radially on the inside of the external roller (11). This retaining throat (20) also houses the needle rollers.
