LINEAR BALL BEARING WHICH ACCOMMODATES SHAFT MISALIGNMENT

摘要

An improved linear ball bearing which accommodates shaft misalignment in which a sleeve surrounds an assembly of a cage having unloaded ball path portions adjacent to the sleeve and loaded ball path portions adjacent to the shaft with load plates disposed between the loaded path portions and the sleeve. Internal bosses on the sleeve engage the load plates intermediate the ends thereof to permit them to rock to accommodate shaft misalignment.
