A composite bearing comprises a cup having a set of antifriction bearing elements around its inner wall, and a deformable washer disposed at the bottom of the cup. The washer comprises a body portion having a stud projecting outwardly from one side thereof and having a recess in the other side thereof opposite the stud. When the composite bearing is mounted on the end of a shaft, the shaft end pushes the stud inwardly towards the body portion and the stud deforms inwardly to at least partly fill the recess. The deformed pushing of the stud in the recess effectively reduces the reaction force exerted by the washer against the end face of the shaft and eliminates play between the bearing and shaft thereby reducing slapping of the end of the shaft against the bottom of the bearing cup. |
