<p>A bearing split outer ring (40) for mounting in a bearing housing (12), the split outer ring (40) having a first-portion (44) subtending somewhat more than 180 degrees of arc and a second portion (42) subtending somewhat less than 180 degrees of arc. The first and second portions (44, 42) of the split outer ring (40) being sized with respect to the bearing housing (12) to provide an interference fit therein. In another aspect of the present invention, this is accomplished by providing a method of assembly of a housed bearing. The assembly steps comprise providing a split outer ring (40) with two unequal portions, retaining the split outer ring (40) over an inner raceway with rolling elements (30) therebetween to form a subassembly, positionning the subassembly in a housing base such that the ends of the outer ring are all contained within the housing base, and thereafter, mounting a housing cover over the subassembly.</p> |
