A spider bearing having a radial bearing and a thrust bearing wherein the inner ring of the radial bearing rests on the outside axial end of the pin through the use of a flange against the end of the pin while another flange, axially disposed from the first, forms the inner race of the thrust bearing. Therefore, axial force is introduced via the end of the pin. The root of the pin, therefore, remains free of slots or joints, and without contact with the inner ring and the thrust bearing, such that upon deformation under load, tilting of the race does not occur. Therefore, parallelism of the thrust bearing races is maintained and uniform load-carrying capacity of the bearing is assured. The spider may, therefore, be shaped more optimally in the region of the root so as to obtain greater strength. |
