Bearing journal

摘要

The disclosure relates to a bearing journal in die cast parts such as housings, to receive and hold bearings which in turn receive rotating shafts. The bearing journal comprises a plurality of axially extending and circumferentially spaced ridges or serrations and a plurality of circumferentially extending and axially spaced ridges or serrations. These serrations are readily "coined" or distorted to form an accurate bearing journal and to accommodate for inaccuracies in the journal diameters and in center to center distances between journals.
