Bearing assembly insert and housed self aligning bearing assembly

摘要

A two-piece annular bearing ring seat with an annular concave spherical inside surface is adapted to slidably receive a spherical outer surface of a bearing ring. An annular strap having a coefficient of thermal expansion higher than the coefficient of thermal expansion of a bearing housing holds the bearing ring seat and annular strap together as a subassembly. The subassembly can be press fit into the housing to provide a housed self-aligning bearing.
